SINGAPORE & NEW YORK, 4 November 2026 - WongPartnership LLP, one of Singapore’s leading law firms, today announced that it has selected August as a strategic AI partner to bring AI tools and training across the entire organisation for fee earners and non-fee earners alike.

WongPartnership is the first major firm in Singapore to partner with August. It will use August’s configurable platform to build AI tools shaped by its own knowledge and practice methodologies and August will work closely with the firm to design and deliver them.

Said Ng Wai King, Chairman and Senior Partner of WongPartnership, “The collaboration with August allows us to move beyond adoption. We now have the opportunity to drive AI impact at scale by customising AI solutions to align with how our lawyers do their work. We envisage leveraging AI to provide faster turnaround with deeper insight, and services that feel like an extension of our expertise rather than a bolt-on product. That is how we will continue to deliver exceptional value in an evolving legal landscape.”

The adoption of August is part of WongPartnership's broader digital transformation and innovation strategy, building on the firm's long-standing investment in legal technology – from adopting machine learning and document automation in 2017 to becoming the first law firm in South East Asia to deploy Harvey. The firm is also collaborating with Thomson Reuters (TR) on AI-driven legal products, beginning with a pilot of TR's AI legal assistant, CoCounsel.

With the addition of August to its technology stack, the firm is charting the next phase of that journey, working with bespoke AI tools that can evolve as the needs of the firm and its clients change.

“WongPartnership is rethinking what legal client services can be and we are excited to collaborate with them to achieve their vision. Their approach to provisioning AI for the entire firm lays the foundation for developing agentic solutions tailored to their expertise and the region,” said Rutvik Rau, Co-founder and CEO of August.
