Epiq Partners With Simplexico to Help Law Firms Move Past AI Experimentation

Epiq, a global legal technology and services firm with operations in 17 countries, has formed a partnership with UK-based AI consultancy Simplexico to deliver structured AI training and implementation support to law firms across the U.S., Canada, and the UK. The deal pairs Epiq's broad legal operations footprint with Simplexico's niche expertise in hands-on AI enablement for practicing lawyers.

The partnership arrives at an inflection point for enterprise legal AI adoption. Law firm spending on artificial intelligence has surged over the past two years, yet internal surveys and industry reports consistently show a gap between investment and actual workflow integration. Many firms have acquired AI tools but struggle with low utilization, inconsistent training, and a lack of clear use cases tied to billable work. Epiq and Simplexico are betting that the bottleneck is not technology supply but organizational readiness i.e the human layer of education, governance, and change management that determines whether AI tools get embedded or abandoned.
