    Perkins Coie is using generative artificial intelligence to train its lawyers on soft skills.<\/p>\n

    The law firm\u2019s London office is partnering with AI training platform Levra, which works across industries to provide professionals with avatars that can simulate scenarios related to emotional and social intelligence, according to a story from Law.com<\/a>. In beta testing the new training program, the office aims to help its lawyers improve their networking, collaboration, conflict resolution and delegation skills.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe\u2019re working with [Levra] in order to create a training pathway across core skills that allows our talent to practice, learn, practice outside of client situations, so that when they\u2019re in client situations and when they\u2019re in difficult internal situations, they are prepared, they\u2019ve seen it before, they understand how best to communicate,\u201d Ian Bagshaw, the managing partner of Perkins Coie\u2019s London office, told Law.com.<\/p>\n

    Bagshaw also told Law.com that the AI training program provides an ideal environment for lawyers to make mistakes and learn from them.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe use of technology creates an absolute safe space for people to experiment in these modules and that safe space,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s very hard to recreate it in any human coaching environment. One of the unexpected outcomes is people enjoy Levra because they feel totally confident that what\u2019s between them and the avatar stays between them.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Law.com reports that legal tech companies increasingly are providing simulation training tools for lawyers. This includes legal training provider AltaClaro and legal transcription provider Verbit, which launched an AI-powered deposition simulator in February.<\/p>\n

    Perkins Coie is soon to become Ashurst Perkins Coie after a recent merger announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n
