Cognia will incorporate Wordsmith into its delivery model to enhance automation across its managed legal service offerings while also supporting in-house legal teams in the design, implementation, configuration, and operationalisation of the Wordsmith platform within their own environments. This will enable the two organisations to jointly offer a combination of technology, implementation, and operational delivery to solve complex legal process challenges for clients. By embedding Wordsmith into both its internal delivery framework and client operating models, Cognia enhances its AI-enabled delivery capabilities across contracting, governance, workflow orchestration, and compliance operations. At the same time, Cognia will help clients implement Wordsmith directly within their legal departments, ensuring seamless integration into broader technology ecosystems and measurable business impact. The partnership highlights Wordsmith’s strength in supporting the specific needs of in-house legal teams, including governance, workflow orchestration, and scalable enterprise deployment. These capabilities align with Cognia’s focus on delivering consistent, tech-enabled legal services across complex legal environments. The partnership ensures that clients can fully realise the value of AI investments through seamless implementation and operationalisation. Together, with Wordsmith providing a world class legal AI-technology platform and Cognia delivering legal engineering, configuration support, and managed operations, we are giving clients a complete pathway from strategy through to measurable business impact. _**Ross McNairn, CEO of Wordsmith:** “In-house legal teams are looking for technology that integrates effectively within their broader ecosystem, not standalone tools or incomplete implementations. This partnership ensures they benefit from advanced AI capabilities supported by service providers who understand how to design, implement, and scale technology in complex environments.”_ _**Janet Taylor-Hall, CEO of Cognia Law:** “Cognia’s legal engineering expertise enables in-house teams to modernise how legal work is delivered. By integrating Wordsmith into our managed services and supporting its implementation within client organisations, we are providing a structured and governed pathway to AI adoption, from initial deployment through to sustained operational performance.”_ ### **About Wordsmith AI** Wordsmith AI is the command center for in-house legal teams, providing a governed, enterprise-grade AI platform to manage the entire lifecycle of legal work.
