Litera Accelerates Legal Workflows to Help Lawyers Deliver Faster, Smarter Results for Clients with the Next Evolution of Litera Draft in Litera Platform

Thu 31 Jul 2025
The New Precedent Enables Legal Professionals to Efficiently Search for and Retrieve Relevant Precedent Language Directly from a Curated Content Library in Microsoft Word

CHICAGO, July 31 – Litera, a global leader in legal technology solutions, has announced the next phase of its ongoing Road to ILTACON innovation, introducing four new additions and numerous enhancements to Litera Platform —the legal sector’s first all-in-one, AI-powered platform fully integrated with Microsoft 365. Litera Platform is a Gold Microsoft Partner and has been widely adopted by leading Am Law 100, Am Law 200, and Fortune 500 firms around the world.

By uniting the cloud version of Litera Create-Content, Foundation Insights, and a brand-new workflow, Precedent (in Beta) in Litera for Word, firms and in-house teams now can turn knowledge into accessible, improvable, and usable content in the moment—so lawyers can draft with confidence and consistency. With these new workflows, Knowledge Management teams and lawyers leverage context-aware AI to discover better precedent language and relevant deal point insights to strengthen document quality, and lead negotiations with data-driven authority. Enhanced document comparison, proofing, and catch-up workflows aims to deliver a faster, more accurate drafting experience embedded in native lawyer workflows.

Lawyers can now access matter, client, and contact insights directly within their inbox, turning Outlook into a true legal productivity hub. The new deep integrations with Litera Foundation and Peppermint CRM improve responsiveness and client service by removing toggling and context-switching. Additionally, the new Clean workflow (formerly Metadact) is now in the cloud and accessible from the new Outlook, enabling one-click metadata cleaning for attachments to protect sensitive information across devices, including Mac computers.

"Lawyers will no longer have the frustration of waiting or searching for hours and days for critical answers to questions relating to their clients, matters, or other insights,” said Adam Ryan, Chief Product Officer at Litera. “With Litera Platform now delivering Foundation and Peppermint data at their fingertips, lawyers have the information they need in seconds to better serve their clients. Furthermore, with competition for new client business more intense than ever, the fastest partner to reply with the most relevant information can mean the difference between winning and losing business."

Litera is also excited to announce several enhancements to the Draft Platform, including new features such as Clean Up Formatting in Litera Platform Word, multi-document analysis capabilities within Litera Platform Word, and NetDocuments support coming soon to Litera Web by August 9. Additionally, there is now French Canadian support in the Create Desktop Application. These updates further empower legal teams to work more efficiently and seamlessly within their preferred environments.

Since the first phase of its launch in April, Litera Platform has seen explosive growth in popularity. Now over 2,500 law firms and in-house legal teams have adopted Litera Platform to work more efficiently and deliver higher-quality outcomes in drafting, knowledge management, and client service—with the support of secure, legal-specific generative AI. Legal teams typically use more than 342 applications daily. Leveraging Litera Platform has resulted in reduced fragmentation by consolidating multiple disparate workflows into one consistent experience that meets users where they work, saving users 2-10 hours per week.

Additionally, Litera announced Lito, its powerful AI legal agent that acts as a virtual team member embedded into Litera Platform, on July 23. Lito is designed to work perfectly alongside Litera’s Draft solutions as part of an end-to-end workflow. With the introduction of Lito, Litera Platform is now supercharged with the power of Agentic AI, turning insight into action and chat into execution. While Litera Platform gives lawyers control and context, Lito gives them momentum. No clicks, no toggling, just results. Whether it’s drafting, reviewing, or responding, Lito understands what lawyers need, orchestrates the right tools, and gets it done in Outlook and Web. Together, they don’t just power legal work—they redefine it.

Clean (Metadact) and Deal Point Insights (Foundation Insights) workflows are now generally available in Litera Platform. Additional Knowledge Management and Performance workflows, including Litera Create-Content, the ability to search for language and get AI-suggested markups, and Foundation and Peppermint CRM integration in Litera Platform will launch August 9.
