Litera, a global leader in legal technology, today announced it is democratizing legal AI by embedding its new agentic AI assistant, Lito, into its drafting and review tools. In doing so, Litera gives millions of lawyers no-cost access to advanced legal AI.
The company said the agentic AI enhancement now comes automatically in its Draft Base, Pro, and Advanced packages – and in its due diligence and workflow solution, Kira – for both new and existing customers with no added charge.
According to Litera, Lito is designed to work where lawyers already work from Microsoft Word and Outlook to web tools, so legal professionals can tap legal AI, workflow automation, and legal drafting tools without leaving familiar environments.
Litera’s CEO, Avaneesh Marwaha, commented that “while others talk about the future of legal AI, we’ve just delivered it at scale, instantly democratizing advanced legal technology for everyone from BigLaw to solo practitioners.”
The market for legal AI is estimated at US$1.45 billion in 2024 and expected to grow to US$3.90 billion by 2030, according to a study cited by Litera. The firm says its mission is to put embedded, explainable, and accessible AI into everyday legal workflows.
How Lito works and what it offers
Lito includes a baseline library of 11 pre-built “legal AI skills” crafted by Litera’s legal knowledge engineers. These skills cover tasks in capital markets, M&A, litigation, and compliance.
Unlike generic chatbots or simple large-language-model wrappers, Lito fuses advanced LLM technology with three decades of rules-based engines to optimize legal workflows.
Lito also chains multiple AI skills into guided workflows, integrating with systems like NetDocuments and iManage so legal professionals stay inside their core toolsets.
The result: firms can accelerate drafting, contract review, document comparison and matter-management tasks while reducing context-switching, the company says.
Litera highlights that this move “democratizes AI for the legal profession.” It provides enterprise-grade automation with no friction and no learning curve.
Legal professionals in both large firms and solo practices can now adopt advanced legal technology and AI tools. They can also implement legal workflow automation without any additional cost.
As the legal industry shifts to more AI-driven practices, Litera aims to position its platform as the hub for legal drafting tools, contract review automation, knowledge management and productivity.
In short, Litera’s announcement signals a major step in making agentic AI affordable, integrated and accessible to legal professionals worldwide. For firms and practitioners seeking to modernize their operations, this move could be a game-changer in legal tech adoption.
