NextLaw Labs signs ROSS Intelligence, a startup developing a legal advisor app powered by IBM Watson.
Making good on its plan to develop, deploy and invest in new technologies, Am Law 100 firm Dentons’ innovation arm—NextLaw Labs—has partnered with IBM to develop a program that will allow startups to create and deploy legal applications more quickly.
