Ask Paul, Weiss Anything! (2025/26)
1. I've touched on this already but yes we work very closely with Harvey (and other providers). Through our knowledge and innovation teams, we can work with Harvey directly to pass on feedback and be involved in product development. Maybe I've misunderstood your question but I don't think this...- afazeli-nia

Classic cop-out lawyer answer but, it depends. Mostly our review fits into that first bucket of very obvious sense-checking (i.e. look at document, look at output, correct inaccuracies). Where I use AI to assist with drafting, it's more about working with the AI output or using the ideas it...- afazeli-nia

Ask Paul, Weiss Anything! (2025/26)
We have several AI initiatives at the firm and our knowledge and innovation teams in the US and UK often work with earlier-stage AI businesses so we can directly feed back into the development of the products we use. One of the products I use the most is Harvey, which is a legal-oriented AI...- afazeli-nia

Ask Paul, Weiss Anything! (2025/26)
First, could you give me a specific example of how you were given work that is typically above the remit of a trainee? There aren't any trainees (yet) at the firm so all of our work is above the remit of a trainee. In terms of work above our level, I'll echo what Alex said on a similar question...- afazeli-nia

Hi all! I'm an associate in the IP and Technology Transactions team here at PW. Like most of us here, I trained at another firm and joined PW in Feb 2024, about 1.5 years after qualification. I've been at the firm for over a year and half now. My work is generally pretty varied and spans...- afazeli-nia

AI advice. This is an interesting question and I think different IP/Tech teams are approaching it differently across the city. The AI work we see so far is split into advisory/regulatory work focusing on compliance with the EUAIA and working for clients who are buying businesses that use AI. An...- afazeli-nia

AI and Technology in Applications. I use AI tools a lot and have great interest in them. While I don't review applications, I have reviewed lots as part of mentoring etc. I'd say with the current state of GenAI, the danger of hallucinations in generated responses and the lack of reasoning...- afazeli-nia

What I enjoy. Almost everyone here has come over with a bit of a "dream". Whether that's building your knowledge, growing your client-base or cementing your name in the industry, the fact that everyone here has their own ambitions makes it a great place to work and really motivates you to...- afazeli-nia

Hi all Just a quick one to tell you a bit more about myself. I will leave some time for questions to build up and then start adding answers where I can! As summarised by Jaysen, I am an associate in Paul, Weiss' IP and Tech Transactions Group ("IPTG"), which deals with all of the commercial...- afazeli-nia
