What's happening: Three Points Law expanded its partnership in April 2026 by adding Usman Wahid, former head of KPMG UK's Technology & Data legal team. Wahid brings experience implementing digital-first legal operations and large-scale technology partnerships for corporate clients, a background increasingly sought after in law firms.
- At KPMG, Wahid led a 20-person legal tech group, tackling projects like piloting AI for automated compliance and risk screening.Artificial Lawyer reports his focus was on leveraging legal data and digital workflows to boost productivity for clients in regulated industries.
- His move follows a trend of Big Four technologists joining private practice to modernize legal workflows.LawTech UK has highlighted similar talent shifts accelerating legal sector tech adoption.
Wahid immediately oversaw the rollout of Agentic AI at Three Points Law. The platform automates core legal tasks—like transaction diligence, compliance reviews, and contract analysis—by handling high-volume, rules-based processes that previously demanded extensive manual effort.
- This kind of AI deployment streamlines routine legal work, freeing attorneys to focus on complex or strategic issues, per Artificial Lawyer.
- Wahid described the approach as "agentic legal solutions": here, "agentic" means the AI takes active control of certain workflows, not just supporting them, aiming for deeper structural change rather than simple task automation.
