Phoenix, AZ — September 10, 2025 — In an industry slow to embrace change, Fennemore, one of the nation’s fastest-growing law firms, is breaking tradition with the launch of DOT (Dynamic Optimization Technology), a secure AI assistant designed to transform how the firm operates and serves clients.
Built securely on OpenAI’s enterprise platform, DOT connects people, systems, and knowledge in real time to help teams discover information faster, drive opportunities, draft with speed, and deliver with confidence.
DOT is a cornerstone of Project BlueWave AI, Fennemore’s ground-up initiative to reimagine how legal services are delivered. The name draws inspiration from the concept of “blue ocean strategies,” which focus on discovering untapped opportunities and creating new markets—underscoring the firm’s commitment to innovation.
Available to the entire firm, DOT represents a fundamental cultural shift in how Fennemore approaches legal work and client service. While 92% of companies plan to increase AI investment in the coming years, only about 1% consider themselves AI-mature, according to McKinsey & Company. Fennemore is bucking the trends, embedding AI directly into workflows, pairing adoption with training and governance, and scaling usage across the enterprise.
How DOT Works
DOT is built around four integrated pillars:
- Discover: Centralized access to firmwide knowledge and databases, streamlining everything from PTO to billing to travel policies.
- Drive: Data-driven insights to identify and advance new business development opportunities.
- Draft: High-quality, first drafts generated quickly, freeing attorneys to focus on strategy and client needs.
- Deliver: Smarter workflows that help teams provide consistent, efficient work product.
Unlike many AI tools in the legal space, DOT isn’t client-facing; it is designed to elevate internal operations and establish a secure foundation for long-term transformation.
