Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan Attorneys (LKS), one of India’s leading full-service law firms, has adopted Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA to transform legal service delivery and enhance efficiency, accuracy, and client outcomes. By building a proprietary AI-powered legal research assistant, the firm is setting a new benchmark for AI adoption in the Indian legal sector.
Founded over four decades ago, LKS has built strong expertise across taxation, intellectual property (IP), corporate, and regulatory law, serving thousands of clients where decisions often involve high financial and reputational stakes. However, the growing volume of regulations, case laws, and legal documentation created challenges for traditional research-heavy workflows. To address this, LKS turned to enterprise-grade AI infrastructure to modernize operations while maintaining strict data governance.
AI-Powered Legal Intelligence for Faster Decision-Making
Using Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, LKS developed an AI legal research assistant capable of analyzing large volumes of internal legal data, including case laws, statutes, regulatory updates, and proprietary knowledge repositories. The assistant delivers citation-backed insights, enabling lawyers to move quickly from query to validated legal interpretation.
“This solution is helping us move from traditional research-heavy workflows to an intelligence-led model that delivers faster, more precise, and more contextual advice,” said L. Badri Narayanan, Executive Partner, Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan Attorneys (LKS).
The system significantly improves legal research efficiency, allowing professionals to reduce time spent on manual searches while ensuring high levels of accuracy and trust. Lawyers can now access institutional knowledge in real time, improving both the speed and consistency of legal advisory services across geographies.
Enterprise AI Infrastructure Built for Scale and Security
Given the sensitive nature of legal data, LKS deployed the solution on-premises, ensuring direct control over infrastructure and compliance with regulatory requirements. The AI platform is powered by Dell PowerEdge XE-Series servers integrated with NVIDIA accelerated computing, delivering high-performance capabilities required for large-scale AI workloads.
Additional infrastructure components include Dell PowerEdge R-Series servers for application services, Dell PowerScale for scalable data storage, and Dell PowerSwitch networking powered by Enterprise SONiC an open, AI-optimized operating system. Together, these technologies create a robust, scalable, and secure AI ecosystem tailored for legal operations.
Dell Services played a critical role in the transformation, supporting LKS from advisory and architectural design to deployment, testing, and implementation, ensuring a production-ready AI environment.
“Dell AI Factory provides the enterprise-grade foundation needed to deploy AI responsibly at scale while maintaining security, performance, and control,” said Venkat Sitaram, Senior Director & Country Head, Infrastructure Solutions Group, India, Dell Technologies.
Shifting from Research-Heavy to Intelligence-Led Legal Practice
The introduction of AI is reshaping how LKS delivers legal services. The firm is transitioning from labor-intensive research processes to an intelligence-driven model, where lawyers can focus on legal reasoning, client strategy, and high-value advisory work.
The AI assistant ensures that knowledge is consistently available across matters, enhancing the quality and uniformity of legal advice. By automating routine research tasks, lawyers are now able to dedicate more time to deep analysis, client engagement, and strategic decision-making.
Agentic AI to Automate Legal Workflows
Looking ahead, LKS plans to expand its AI capabilities through agentic AI implementations, particularly within its intellectual property practice. The firm handles up to 2,000 IP-related emails per week, a process that will soon be automated using AI agents capable of understanding, routing, and responding to requests.
Additional use cases include IP research automation, back-office intelligence, client-centric workflows, and natural language analytics dashboards. These advancements will enable LKS to build a comprehensive, AI-enabled legal platform that enhances both operational efficiency and client service delivery.
Driving Competitive Advantage Through AI
As law firms globally explore digital transformation, LKS stands out for its structured and governance-driven approach to AI adoption. By leveraging Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, the firm has created a scalable and secure foundation for AI innovation, ensuring that technological advancements are aligned with legal and regulatory requirements.
This transformation places LKS at the forefront of AI-powered legal services in India, offering faster turnaround times, improved accuracy, and stronger client outcomes. It also highlights the growing importance of trusted, citation-backed AI systems in professions where precision and accountability are critical.
With its continued investment in AI and data-driven capabilities, LKS is redefining how legal services are delivered moving toward a future where intelligent systems and human expertise work together to deliver superior legal outcomes at scale.
