Norm Ai

It's been incredible watching how rapidly John Nay has built & scaled Norm Ai! This week, they launched the first ever AI native white shoe law firm with a new investment of $50m from Blackstone!

Asset manager Blackstone has invested $50 million in Norm Ai, a legal and compliance technology startup that it is launching an independent law firm which will offer 'AI-native legal services.' Lawyers at the new New York-based firm, Norm Law, will use Norm Ai’s artificial intelligence technology to do legal work for Blackstone and other financial services clients, said Norm Ai founder and CEO John Nay. The technology startup says it has created AI agents that help corporate in-house legal and compliance teams automate regulatory reviews. Sara Merken has more: https://reut.rs/488alBU

Thrilled to deepen our commitment to Blackstone Innovations Investments portfolio company Norm Ai, alongside the Blackstone Growth team, with a $50M investment. It’s been a privilege partnering with John Nay, Patrick Vergara and the broader Norm Ai team—and we are excited to expand our relationship with them as they announce Norm Law, an AI-native law firm aiming to transform how legal services are delivered. AI has the potential to be transformational in many areas, but particularly in text and rules-based workflows that are core to legal and compliance work. Norm’s platform has already made a meaningful impact within Blackstone’s Legal & Compliance group, and we’re looking forward to building on that momentum as Norm expands its capabilities further in legal and regulatory compliance workflows. https://lnkd.in/ec_uetag

Huge congratulations to our clients Norm Ai and Norm Law on their landmark announcement today: a new $50 million investment from Blackstone and the launch of an AI-native law firm built alongside one of the most forward-thinking legal and compliance platforms in the market. This is a genuinely historic moment for legal innovation. Norm Ai and Norm Law are creating something new in the delivery of legal services—combining cutting-edge AI engineering with top legal talent to reimagine how sophisticated institutions can work faster, more precisely, and with greater confidence. Very few organizations are positioned to do this at scale, and even fewer are doing it with this level of rigor, expertise, and ambition. I’m proud that Holland & Knight LLP had the opportunity to play a small part in helping bring this vision to life. It has been an honor to work alongside a team that is not only building extraordinary technology, but also thoughtfully shaping a model that will help define the next chapter of legal services for financial institutions and beyond. Congratulations to John Nay, the entire Norm Ai and Norm Law teams, and to our colleagues at Blackstone on this groundbreaking partnership. Excited to see what comes next.

Today, we’re introducing Norm Law, the first AI-native law firm designed for global institutional clients, and announcing that Norm Ai and Blackstone are collaborating on the development of Norm Law legal services for Blackstone’s use. Norm Law is uniquely positioned at the intersection of AI and trusted expert attorneys. We believe our Legal Engineering approach, paired with world-class legal talent, will revolutionize premium legal services, delivering more efficient and effective outcomes for the world’s most sophisticated institutions. To truly transform legal services, lawyers and AI must be integrated from day one. Norm Law pairs purpose-built AI agents with attorney oversight to improve speed, consistency, and auditability in high-stakes work. This isn’t a lawyer using AI as a tool, it’s an integrated expert-in-the-loop system. We are also excited to announce that Blackstone and Henry R. Kravis have invested in Norm Ai, bringing our total funding raised to more than $140 million. Learn more in the comments.

As the administration weighs in on AI regulation, it’s more important than ever to ask: what can history teach us about regulating AI? At Norm Ai’s Central Park AI Forum, Senator Phil Gramm (former U.S. Senate Banking Chair & Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Author) and Susan Dudley (former White House Regulatory Czar & Norm Ai Regulatory Advisor) examined this very question. They examined how lessons learned from regulating past innovation cycles matter now more than ever. History offers a roadmap  Every major technological transformation has brought both disruption and opportunity. These patterns have persisted over the course of the Industrial Revolution where GDP tripled and real wages rose by 160% in 30 years, and within the past half century as innovation has reshaped our economy to be flexible to market changes. These moments remind us that transformation, while often turbulent, is the driving force behind long-term prosperity. Regulation vs. creativity  The most effective policy response is often the most difficult. A “first, do no harm” mindset removes unnecessary barriers, allows markets to adjust, and resists the urge to over regulate has historically proven to yield the best outcomes over time. The prosperity from AI will not come from halting disruption, but from harnessing it. In this clip, you’ll see that Senator Gramm simply puts it, “We don’t know anything except the past and we should follow the things that have worked over the past 100 years.” Watch the full discussion and read our latest blog post with the link in the comments. #centralparkaiforum
