How it's used
Legal research

Extract relevant information
Clerks, paralegals and attorneys can use AI solutions to streamline research and document review by extracting relevant information from sources to augment decision-making. With automated reference recommendations, they can spend more time digesting key points applicable to a given case.
Contract lifecycle management

Maintain contracts more efficiently
With AI technology, employees can more proactively prevent contract delays, mitigate risks and refine negotiation points, instead of conducting contract analysis, drafting arguments or looking for renewal opportunities.
Client service

Streamline the customer experience
With AI technology, legal professionals can spend more time solving customer problems and less time looking for information to inform their next actions. Administrative specialists can access more effective answers to common questions in near-real time for faster problem resolution and improved customer satisfaction.
