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 features transforming the legal landscape

Compliance automation
Once trained, an AI model can weigh operational practices against industry regulations to help you identify potential compliance risks.

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 summarise key points and action items, saving time and allowing all attendees to focus on the conversation itself.
AI-powered legal document reviews
Legal teams can use AI to quickly and easily review documents for accuracy and consistency across revisions. Google Docs has built-in commenting and revision review features that make it easy for teams to collaborate on briefs and case files, as well as track historic versions. The AI-powered addition of Gemini in Docs gives legal professionals more tools to check citations, grammar and more.
