Dye & Durham introduces new legal information AI assistant

Dye & Durham Limited, a cloud-based practice management software provider, has launched its first offering that utilizes generative AI in supporting solo, small, and medium-sized law firms.

Referred to as DeeDee, the solution serves as an always-on legal information AI assistant which is trained by lawyers and is powered by models from OpenAI, which gives legal practitioners ease of access to localized legal information as well as helping them construct summaries of legal principles, generate first drafts, and many others.

“AI is redefining the way legal operations run and how lawyers manage their days. With DeeDee we are providing legal professionals with an easy-to-adopt, practical AI tool designed to help them do more high-value work each day,” said Dye & Durham CEO Matt Proud.

“Our vision is to bring legal professionals AI-enabled solutions that have a positive impact on their operations from the very first time they use them,” he added.

DeeDee serves as the first of the new AI applications that the firm will be offering to solo, small, and medium-sized firms all around the world in the next few months. It is currently exclusively available through the Unity Global Platform in the UK and will soon be launching in Canada sometime in the third quarter of 2024.

Dye & Durham provides practice management solutions that allows legal practitioners to deliver vital data insights that help in supporting critical corporate transactions as well as enable the payments infrastructure that are trusted by government and financial institutions. Currently, it has operations in Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and South Africa.

The software provider had released a statement last April which attested to its services and operations following a public letter that was released by Engine Capital LP, who had complained about the firm’s value creation, operational efficiency, and capital allocation approach.
