Extract from Justin Smith’s article “Vorys Remains at the Forefront of Innovation with Everlaw”
Vorys is a law firm that operates at the forefront of change.
From four attorneys in a small Columbus office to a 375-lawyer firm with 10 offices worldwide, Vorys has grown by consistently staying ahead of what’s next.
Whether it’s been the introduction of the internet, Microsoft Word, email, TAR, and now, with generative AI, Vorys has continued to embrace the technology that will provide the best outcomes for their clients.
“Over the years, we’ve seen a lot of changes in technology, and I keep looking back and thinking about what those have looked like,” Julie Brown, Director of Practice Technology at Vorys, said. “In the beginning, we had law libraries, and attorneys would do all their legal research through books, which was very time consuming. Then came Lexus and Westlaw, which were game changers in the industry, and then the internet. And now, we have generative AI, which is going to alter how we practice the law going forward.”
Vorys’s ability to identify and leverage technology has allowed them not only to survive this past century, but to thrive, sitting squarely in the Am Law 200 and providing strategic counsel in the areas of complex commercial litigation, real estate, labor and employment, corporate, M&A, and more to a range of businesses, including multiple Fortune 500 companies.
Now, with Everlaw as part of its journey, Vorys is demonstrating its continued commitment to empowering their attorneys and moving the use of technology in the law forward.
