Allen & Overy then supported the MSc/LLM Corporate Law, Computing & Innovation with the opportunity for placements, prizes and practitioner teaching input.
The Legal Innovation Centre and Allen & Overy are also partnered in several applied research projects. The projects investigate the use of state of the art machine learning technologies and their utility within the legal space.
