The team at the Hartree Centre North East Hub worked with iCOR to optimise the process of keeping up with environmental legislation to ensure that advice given to clients is accurate, up-to-date and specific.

‍

Challenge

iCOR Systems, a leading provider of environmental legislation advice, faced a significant challenge in keeping up with the ever-growing volume of UK legislation. Their team had to manually review extensive amounts of new legislation each month, identify relevant sections, and generate reports for their clients. This process was time consuming and resource-intensive, hindering their efficiency and ability to scale their services.

‍

Approach

Recognising the potential of AI and natural language processing (NLP), iCOR Systems partnered with the Hartree Centre North East Hub to develop a proof-of-concept. The team began by gathering and processing a vast amount of legislative data from government websites, ensuring its quality and suitability for analysis. Next, natural language processing and large language models (LLMs) were applied to automatically categorise and filter the legislation, identifying the most relevant information for iCOR’s clients. Finally, the team leveraged LLMs to generate concise summaries of key legislative documents and highlight their potential impact.

Benefits

By automating the analysis and summarisation of legislation, the proof-of-concept will significantly reduce the time and effort required by iCOR Systems to provide timely and accurate advice to their clients. Importantly, the AI tool acts as a powerful assistant to iCOR’s legal experts, allowing them to focus their expertise on interpretation, strategy, and client interaction, rather than getting bogged down in manual document review. This increased efficiency allows iCOR to scale their operations, expand their client base, and focus on higher-value tasks such as strategic consulting and client engagement.  Moreover, the use of LLMs ensures that iCOR stays at the forefront of legal tech innovation, enhancing their reputation and competitive advantage.

"We’re excited to be at the forefront of legal tech innovation, and we see this as a significant step towards even greater efficiency and client satisfaction."
