Road to ILTACON: Weekly Highlights Showcase How Litera’s AI-Driven Workflows Are Helping Lawyers Streamline Work, Strengthen Client Relationships, and Drive Growth—Leading Up to a Major Company Update from CEO Avaneesh Marwaha and Microsoft’s Gbenga Ige on August 11
CHICAGO, July 23 - Litera, a global leader in legal technology solutions, is excited to announce the first in its Road to ILTACON series of innovations, transforming the legal technology and AI landscape across Legal Work & Drafting, Knowledge Management, Business Development, Legal Operations, and Security & Governance. Today we are announcing the launch of Lito, a game-changing new AI legal agent, a virtual team member spanning both the practice and business of law. Designed for the legal industry, Lito is integrated into the unified, AI-powered Litera One interface. It is built to support legal workflows by aligning relevant capabilities with user intent, helping deliver informed outcomes through timely access to the right data in the right context.
“We built Lito to give our customers a massive edge, giving every lawyer a virtual 'team' behind them who can execute thousands of workflows, find the right information and deliver answers immediately for their clients," said Litera CEO Avaneesh Marwaha. "Combining the unique scope, data, and intelligence built over the span of 30 years into Litera's technology with the Lito agentic engine on top, we have solved a major challenge 86% of lawyers complain about: their disparate and complex tools, and inability to sort through tremendous amounts of data and answer questions needed to quickly win over their clients.”
With curated legal skills and access to structured firm data, Lito automates complex tasks and surfaces immediate insights with Foundation and Foundation 365. Lito is designed to help lawyers reduce context-switching, improve turnaround time, and make smarter decisions. Based on Litera’s secure, enterprise-grade infrastructure, Lito connects to only structured, permissioned firm data. Data governance and privacy controls are always maintained.
Lito includes a library of legal AI skills and integrates with the existing Litera ecosystem through a single interface embedded natively into legal professionals' most used tools, with intelligent performance improvements over time as it learns. Available features of Lito in Outlook and Web include:
- Chat with Doc Viewer: Lito’s always-available chat bar serves as both the gateway to the Litera skill ecosystem and a powerful document analysis tool—enabling users to interact with content, surface insights, and trigger workflows in real time.
- Analyze in Grid: Lito’s grid is a dynamic matrix interface that enables users to run multiple prompts across multiple documents simultaneously. It delivers a streamlined validation experience through an integrated document viewer, making it easy to review, compare, and confirm extracted insights with precision and efficiency.
- Compare: Litera’s market-leading comparison functionality detects changes between any two documents in seconds—across formats including Word, PDF, Excel, and PowerPoint. It supports 1:1, 1:Many, and bulk comparisons, presenting results in a clear, intuitive layout. Leverage Lito's Compare AI to summarize changes, analyze risk, evaluate mitigations, and rewrite clauses.
- Search Experience: With Foundation as your firm’s data backbone, Lito enables natural language access to connected client, matter, lawyer, and third-party profiles. This skill puts your organized experience data at your fingertips—helping you find precedent matters faster, tailor responses, and drive smarter decisions without leaving your workflow.
- Review Terms: Interact with Word documents and PDFs using Lito’s built-in definition lookup that streamlines contract review.
- Legal Skills: Complete key legal tasks, such as running form checks on regulated documents, generating interim period and post-closing timelines, and creating open items lists.
Lito will be generally available on October 1 with early access starting in late-August.
