One Year Later: How Troutman Pepper’s Generative AI Assistant Athena Has Transformed Legal Services Delivery

Published

3 months ago

on

NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In the year since the firmwide launch of Athena, Troutman Pepper’s generative AI assistant, the firm has experienced overwhelming success and adoption by over 1,000 users, representing more than 40% of attorneys and professional staff. More than 60% of Athena users have used it at least five times.

“We are proud to have been among the first large law firms to create and adopt a generative AI assistant and are excited to celebrate its first anniversary this month. Athena has increased efficiencies, enhanced client service, and is changing the practice of law,” said Troutman Pepper Chief Innovation Officer Will Gaus.

Among its many use cases, Athena has helped users summarize documents, analyze legal work, draft content, brainstorm ideas, visualize timelines, and create images. The tool has streamlined processes, effectively reducing the time attorneys spend on routine tasks so they can focus more on strategic legal work.

“We don’t want to waste any time doing busy work for things that could be done better by the technology, and that has been our philosophy, even before generative AI,” said Partner Alison Grounds, founder and managing partner of Troutman Pepper eMerge, the firm’s eDiscovery and legal technology subsidiary. “We have used Athena as a complement to other technologies the firm has invested in to create internal efficiencies that translate to real client value.”

“In addition to accelerated turnaround times, clients are telling us they appreciate the enhanced service quality, and the firm’s commitment to leveraging technology for continuous improvement,” said Dan Pulka, Troutman Pepper’s chief business development and marketing officer who also leads its client experience division.

Troutman Pepper’s marketing team was an early adopter of Athena, using it for press releases, social media posts, attorney bios, pitches and RFPs, award nominations, and graphic design, among other tasks.

“Another notable, perhaps less obvious, benefit of Athena is in our generative AI practice work,” Grounds said. “Say a client comes to us needing a global generative AI policy relating to data collection, use, and sharing. Not only do we have experience advising other clients in this need, but we personally have been in their position, and can help avoid pitfalls and create more opportunities as a result.”

Troutman Pepper attorneys are regularly advising on the full spectrum of legal issues presented by GenAI – including privacy and data security, information governance, intellectual property, compliance, labor and employment, contractual, and risk management concerns.

While Troutman Pepper was among the first large law firms to roll out a GenAI assistant, it did so meticulously by forming a Generative AI Task Force. This task force established essential guardrails, including a comprehensive training program and stringent ethics requirements. Task force members also help test new Athena features – the platform is continuously updated to meet user needs. For instance, since launch, Athena has seen significant enhancements and new features, including:

AthenaIQ: A document database capability that allows administrators to upload documents for retrieval augmented generation (RAG), enhancing the accuracy and relevance of responses.

MobileOne: Extending Athena’s general chat skill to the entire firm via a mobile app, making it accessible anytime, anywhere.

Document Insights: Enabling users to load and interact with up to 20 documents for a more comprehensive analysis within a specific conversation.

Create Timeline and Diagram: Agents that use information from uploaded documents to create visual timelines and corporate structure diagrams, respectively.

“Our approach has always been to build a broad platform that allows our attorneys and business professionals to solve many different types of problems,” said Director of Innovation Andrew Medeiros. “We continuously listen to our users and evolve Athena to meet their needs, ensuring it remains an invaluable tool in their daily workflows.”

In addition to Athena, Troutman Pepper has invested in numerous AI solutions, including many proprietary AI platforms developed by its Innovation division and eMerge, and has in-house talent well-versed in the technologies. The firm’s commitment to continuous innovation has been recognized nationally. Most recently, the Financial Times recognized it among the top 25 most innovative law firms and The Legal Intelligencer named it among the 2024 Law Firm Innovators.

USGS Selects Woolpert to Provide Elevation-Derived Hydrography Across Northwest and Central Ohio

Published

November 13, 2024

By

The data will be used to support the 3D Hydrography Program and advance statewide flood mitigation efforts.

DAYTON, Ohio, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The U.S. Geological Survey has selected Woolpert to process and delineate elevation-derived hydrography (EDH) across Northwest and Central Ohio in support of the 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP).

“Engineers, natural resource managers, and other state agencies will be able to utilize this new, highly accurate data for mapping, modeling, and analyzing surface water and flow patterns.”

3DHP is the first systematic remapping of U.S. hydrography since the original USGS 1:24,000-scale topographic mapping program was active, which included the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Maps were produced by USGS at that scale as early as 1904, with revisions made until 2006. 3DHP uses updated, high-accuracy elevation data collected as part of the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP).

Under this task order, Woolpert will process 1,439 square miles of previously collected Quality Levels 1 and 2 lidar data to produce new, highly detailed EDH data for the designated area of interest spanning the Scioto River and Big Darby Creek. Woolpert acquired that lidar data under multiple 3DEP contracts between 2018-2021.

“The EDH team at Woolpert is excited to support our partners at the USGS on yet another 3DHP project, especially one so close to home for many of our staff in Ohio,” Woolpert Project Manager Matt Worthy said. “Building on our previous efforts in Alaska, Oregon, Tennessee, and Idaho, and through technical exchanges with other groups within Woolpert such as the 3DEP lidar team and multiple geospatial teams that leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning, this team continues to identify innovative solutions which improve the quality of the data for our clients.”

Woolpert Vice President and Program Director Brian Stevens said that the EDH data will be used to define and model Ohio’s rivers, tributaries, and floodplains, helping support and advance statewide flood mitigation efforts. The project is being funded by the Ohio State Office of Natural Resources Conservation Service.

“Engineers, natural resource managers, and other state agencies will be able to utilize this new, highly accurate data for mapping, modeling, and analyzing surface water and flow patterns,” Stevens said. “From reengineering roadways to prevent flooding and improving drainage surrounding agricultural areas and farmland, this new data and the efforts of the 3D Hydrography Program are critical to improving Ohio’s flood-risk management and planning efforts.”

The data is expected to be delivered in spring 2025. This contract is underway.

1-800-STRIPER® Set To Paint The Town: Budget-Friendly Paved Lot Maintenance Comes To Atlanta

Published

November 13, 2024

By

ATLANTA, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 16, the newest 1-800-STRIPER® franchise rolled out in Atlanta OTP North, bringing business and property owners an affordable way to restore commercial and industrial parking lots – as well as plenty of other paved areas.

1-800-STRIPER® was founded more than 25 years ago on the belief that businesses don’t need to spend a fortune on parking lot repairs and maintenance to make a good impression. Often, a fresh set of lines is all that’s needed.

The striping company offers customized layouts for parking lots and paved areas, ensuring ADA compliance, safety, and proper traffic flow. In addition, they provide layout and line painting for sports courts, interior markings for parking garages and factories, and temporary solutions for special events and construction sites.

The 1-800-STRIPER® concept began in 1999 when founder Luke Menear saw an unmet need in the industry. After working for a pavement maintenance company for just a few weeks, he noticed many property owners were spending large amounts of money on unnecessary maintenance when a few freshly painted lines would yield the same results. He purchased the company’s striping equipment and set out to make his vision a reality, providing quick, budget-friendly solutions for keeping parking lots safe and attractive. More than two decades and over a million lines later, the company continues to build the trust of its customers through fast, friendly service, and excellent results.

1-800-STRIPER® of Atlanta OTP North owner Ilan Kopecky is looking forward to continuing the company’s superior customer service and quality standards. “After spending 23 years in software and SaaS sales, I recognized a significant opportunity to modernize an age-old industry,” Kopecky said. “The launch of our 1-800-STRIPER® franchise in Atlanta is not just about offering top-tier striping services; it’s about applying the innovative, customer-focused principles I’ve honed over two decades in tech. In a business traditionally built on handshakes and word-of-mouth, I aim to introduce a fresh approach that emphasizes transparency, efficiency, and exceptional service. We’re excited to redefine the standards of this industry in Atlanta, and we can’t wait to show the community what’s possible!”

Area business and property owners looking for a budget-friendly option for maintaining paved areas can call 404-835-9809 or visit https://1800striper.com/location/striper-of-north-atlanta/ to set up a free estimate.
