Innovation

Overview

We are committed to innovation and to providing our clients with the best possible support for their innovations – or for joint innovations. In addition to innovation teams in all the main practice areas, which hold weekly meetings to discuss relevant issues, our steadily growing special Smart Solutions unit is a highly tangible example of the importance we attach to innovation. The unit combines knowledge management, alternative sourcing and legal tech, with a specific focus on innovation in legal IT, knowledge transfer and the way services are delivered. Most of its staff are based in an innovative office at the EUREF campus in Berlin. The team has grown continuously and currently numbers more than 40 dedicated employees.

When looking at any innovative idea or technology, we ask ourselves two questions: Does it help to solve a real-world problem? Does it really benefit our clients or our firm? Innovation and disruption should not be an end in themselves.

At CMS, innovation means offering clients new, high-quality services and creating new ways to access our service portfolio. Our firm’s structure and direction therefore continue to evolve.

Technology toolkit

There are many ways in which the legal sector can leverage technology to make processes simpler and more efficient. CMS has been using innovative third-party tools for many years to support a range of internal and external processes. Unlike its competitors, CMS also has a long history of developing its own tools wherever this approach delivers the best results.
