Wotton Kearney has partnered with Appian to launch OSCAR (Organised System for Claims and Reporting), an AI-powered platform set to modernise the firm’s legal matter management and client/MI reporting operations.

OSCAR replaces time-intensive manual processes with intelligent automation, improving accuracy, streamlining workflows, and providing clients with real-time insights. The system is expected to go live in April 2026. By automating routine tasks, lawyers will be able to focus on high-value, client-facing work.

“This collaboration reflects our commitment to innovation in legal service delivery,” shared Charles Simon, Managing Partner, Casualty & Operations. “By integrating Appian, we’re enhancing accessibility, responsiveness and value for our clients while positioning ourselves at the forefront of legal technology innovation.”

Built on the Appian Platform, OSCAR incorporates AI in Intelligent Document Processing, email classification and document generation, while seamlessly integrating with Wotton Kearney’s financial systems and automating client/MI reporting.

Luke Thomas, Area Vice President, Asia Pacific & Japan at Appian, added:

“By combining Appian’s AI-powered automation with Wotton Kearney’s deep expertise in insurance and risk, we’re delivering a platform that eliminates complexity, accelerates reporting and creates more time for lawyers to focus on their clients. This is a powerful example of how the legal industry can reimagine operations through intelligent automation.” 

OSCAR aligns with Wotton Kearney’s digital-first approach, supporting the firm’s mission to deliver exceptional value to insurance, government and corporate clients across the Asia-Pacific region. Enhanced reporting capabilities will provide clients with greater transparency and insights into their legal matters, while improved operational efficiency will enable faster response times and more competitive service delivery.

Since Wotton Kearney’s founding in 2002, the firm has grown from two partners to 95 with a dynamic force of over 500 legal professionals across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Thailand.
