How AI is used in law

Legal research and document review

AI can be a useful tool in the field of legal research, saving time and helping lawyers more easily find information to support their work. Legal teams often have to comb through countless legal documents to find information relevant to a case. AI can help lawyers and their team review documents and surface necessary details faster. When prompted to find information based on legal precedents and laws, AI can help lawyers surface insights and make connections that they may have otherwise missed during a manual review process.

Legal writing and document automation

Law firms can use AI to assist with repetitive tasks, including generating legal templates that can be tweaked and repurposed for different scenarios. AI can be a useful tool for generating first drafts of legal documents, including briefings and contracts. Legal professionals can also use AI to identify areas of an existing contract that may need to be adjusted in order to be satisfactory to all parties.

AI-powered meeting notes

During a legal strategy session, there are a lot of ideas, theories, and evidence-based information shared. Typically, one person may be assigned to take notes. Legal teams can use AI to summarize key points and action items, saving time and allowing all attendees to focus on the conversation itself.

Gemini for Workspace simplifies the note-taking process as an always-on AI-powered assistant. Gemini in Google Meet gives legal teams the tools needed to conduct video strategy sessions with partners and participants in multiple locations. Ask Gemini to “take notes for me” in Meet to summarize findings and distribute notes to participants after your call has ended.
