UK AI legaltech contract platform Luminance has launched a customer advisory board.
The board will provide a forum for senior figures across legal, operations, procurement, finance and other business functions to exchange views on the most significant technology shifts and the opportunities AI presents, according to Luminance.
Founding members include former Lord Chief Justice Lord Ian Burnett of Maldon, Martyn Freeman, the global chief operating officer of BBC Studios, and Adrian Lang, chief people and legal officer of retail firm Staples Canada.
They are joined by Ryan Van Meter, vice president and general counsel North America of minerals supplier Imerys, and Sally Wokes, a corporate partner at Slaughter & May, an early investor in the Cambridge-based company.
Eleanor Lightbody, CEO of Luminance, said: "Across every industry, leaders are grappling with questions around adoption, governance, trust and transformation.
"We established the Customer Advisory Board to bring together a diverse group of senior leaders who are navigating these challenges in real time and to create a forum for meaningful discussion around the future of enterprise AI and contract intelligence."
Founded in 2015 by AI experts at the University of Cambridge, Luminance cites a client base of 1,000 organisations across 70 countries, including all of the Big Four consultancy firms and more than a quarter of the Global Top 100 law firms.
In April, the firm entered into a strategic partnership with LexisNexis that allows mutual clients to draft and review contracts using real-time case law, combining Luminance's AI contract-drafting tools with LexisNexis' AI-driven workflow assistant, Protégé.
In February last year, Luminance secured $75m in a Series C funding round, one of the largest financing rounds for a legal AI company. The company has raised $125m in total.
