VinciWorks launches AI compliance training for legal teams

VinciWorks has launched four AI-powered compliance training courses designed specifically for law firms and in-house legal teams, using conversational scenarios to test how legal professionals apply compliance knowledge in practice.

The new Conversational Learning courses cover data protection, anti-bribery, gifts and hospitality, and tax evasion.

Instead of following a fixed training programme, learners respond to workplace scenarios in real time, with artificial intelligence (AI) adapting the conversation based on their answers.

According to VinciWorks, the approach is intended to move beyond traditional completion-based compliance training by assessing how employees reason through risk rather than simply demonstrating knowledge through multiple-choice assessments.

The company said the courses have been developed to reflect the day-to-day judgement calls faced by legal professionals, including referral relationships, client gifts, cross-border transactions and handling confidential client information.

Ruth Mittelmann Cohen, head of legal compliance at VinciWorks, said: “Everyone can recite the definition of a conflict of interest. The hard part is recognising one when the facts are messy, a client’s pushing for a fast answer, and there’s no obvious right move.

“That’s a judgement problem, and a page of text with a multiple-choice quiz at the end won’t train judgement.”

The launch comes as law firms continue to face increasing scrutiny around compliance with “failure to prevent” offences, including bribery, fraud and the facilitation of tax evasion, where organisations may need to demonstrate they have appropriate procedures in place.
