Press release

DLA Piper has entered into a strategic partnership with Newcode.ai to deploy agentic AI workflows across its operations in Finland, Sweden, and Norway. The collaboration marks a significant step forward in the firm’s innovation agenda, targeting complex legal workflows with intelligent, adaptive systems designed to enhance legal service delivery at scale.

“We see a clear shift in the industry toward more adaptable and bespoke AI systems. With the Newcode.ai platform, DLA Piper isn’t just keeping up with change—they’re shaping it!", said Maged Helmy, CEO at Newcode.ai. 

This initiative is not like traditional vendor relationships. A Newcode.ai team member will be embedded within DLA Piper’s Nordic offices, working side-by-side with legal professionals to design agentic workflows tailored to real-world legal challenges.

“This partnership is about building capability, not just capacity. We’re not just adopting a tool; we’re creating something new together,” said Magnus Oskarsson, Country Managing Partner at DLA Piper in Sweden.  

“We’ve evaluated several AI tools and challenged ourselves to think beyond the obvious. This is a true partnership, technical, cultural and strategic,” said Ilkka Liljeroos, Country Managing Partner at DLA Piper in Finland.  

The initiative is focused on delivering measurable outcomes: faster turnaround times, improved accuracy, and enhanced client value, while maintaining robust data security. By embedding AI agents into core legal processes, DLA Piper aims to increase agility and resilience in a rapidly evolving legal landscape. 

“This initiative is about upskilling within the area of AI and developing new workflows in a way that’s deeply integrated with our people and our platform", said Camilla Wollan, Country Managing Partner at DLA Piper in Norway.

The initiative is already underway. Initial workshops have been conducted, with additional sessions planned throughout the year as the partnership moves into its next phase of development.
