Preparing for a tech-forward tomorrow

Webber Wentzel’s NewLaw and legal technology division has been expanded and rebranded as “Webber Wentzel Fusion”. This is the next step in the firm's innovation journey, following its five-year-long incubation of an alternative legal services centre and its early investment in artificial intelligence.

“Webber Wentzel Fusion is part of our ongoing journey to enhance the way we deliver legal services and create value for our clients,” explained Christo Els, senior partner at Webber Wentzel. “It is also a testament to our culture of innovation, which empowers our people to embrace change and explore new possibilities."

The firm believes firmly in solving the challenges of their clients in new and flexible ways, transitioning beyond legal and making the most of what technology has to offer. Webber Wentzel Fusion is key to this.

Sally Hutton, manager partner at Webber Wentzel is proud of the latest innovation. "Our commitment to excellence demands that we dynamically meet the evolving needs of our clients who are looking for holistic, digitally enabled and efficient solutions that solve both their legal and business challenges,” she said.

Webber Wentzel Fusion blends legal expertise with advanced technology and modern operations to deliver integrated, innovative and impactful solutions. The division employs a diverse team of specialists including lawyers, technologists, project managers and analysts. They deliver tailored and practical solutions across various domains, including AI and legal technology, legal project management, flexible resourcing, eDiscovery and data management, and legal operations. Clients benefit from end-to-end, seamless solutions delivered from one integrated team – no divides, no delays.

This division is also the catalyst for new technology products and entrepreneurial initiatives for the benefit of the firm and its clients.

Aalia Manie, head of Webber Wentzel Fusion explained further: "We are drawing on the energy and potential of fusion to contribute to legal transformation in Africa. Our goal is to deliver stellar outcomes that redefine the client experience, set new standards in Africa, and enable our lawyers and clients to focus on what matters most."
