Webber Wentzel Spins Off Fusion Subsidiary
Webber Wentzel's innovation arm Fusion is spinning off into an independent subsidiary, director Aalia Manie said on April 1, 2026, in a Legal IT Insider podcast. The change formalizes Fusion’s evolution since its January 2024 rebrand and 2025 Legal Innovation Lab launch, expanding it into a full-service product development and advisory firm that advises clients on GenAI tools like Anthropic’s Claude plugin and procurement benchmarking.
