The authors were KKMP Managing Partner Maxim Kuleshov, KKMP Partner Anna Maximenko, KKMP Senior Associate Elena Polevaya, KKMP IT Director Sergey Polyanin and Kirill Dyakov, legal operations officer at MWS AI.
Today's M&A practice is undergoing a transformation driven by artificial intelligence. The 2025 survey indicates that 70% of mid-market and large business respondents are already applying AI in their operations.
The rapid development of AI is not only becoming an integral part of the practice of law, but is also transforming the business environment. Many consulting firms, including law firms, are developing the LegalTech trend by creating their own technological solutions. This approach makes it possible to combine expert knowledge in the field of law with an understanding of technological opportunities and limitations.
In the context of M&A transactions, the article discusses two key aspects of artificial intelligence application:
-
application aspect - technical opportunities and limitations of applying AI solutions to M&A projects;
-
legal aspect - changing the approach to legal due diligence and transactional documentation.
