AT&T is building on LegalEdge to explore new ways to support its legal team

Share AT&T's in-house legal department has hundreds of lawyers and legal professionals around the world. Before they can advise the business, they need to assemble facts, documents, and relevant past work, often drawing on expertise held across different teams.

AT&T is working with OpenAI to build that next phase. "Our partnership with OpenAI is going to allow us to build that plumbing that powers the knowledge layer throughout the company and that all of us will draw into," McAtee says
