Litera democratizes AI for legal professionals with AI legal agent solution

Litera, a global leader in legal AI technology solutions, is making a major move to democratize artificial intelligence for the legal industry, introducing AI legal agent, Lito, now automatically included in Litera’s widely-used legal drafting products, Draft Base, Pro, and Advanced packages, as well as in its workflow and due diligence solution, Kira.

According to the company, this agentic AI enhancement is available to both new and existing customers at no additional charge, maximizing access to cutting-edge AI tools for Litera’s tens of thousands of users across over 15,000 firms at no added cost.

"Today marks a watershed moment for the legal profession. Tens of thousands of lawyers just gained technology that delivers 10x efficiency gains, directly in the tools where they do their work," said Litera CEO Avaneesh Marwaha. "After three decades as the legal industry's trusted partner, we understand that revolutionary change must meet professionals where they are. Lito supercharges the Microsoft tools lawyers already use every day, delivering enterprise-grade AI automation with zero friction and zero learning curve. While others talk about the future of legal AI, we've just delivered it at a significant scale—instantly democratizing advanced legal technology for everyone from BigLaw to solo practitioners."

As per the company, Litera’s mission is to make AI a trusted part of everyday legal work: intuitive to use, grounded in firm-specific knowledge, and available to everyone who drafts, reviews, or collaborates.

Lito, introduced at ILTACON earlier this year, is a legal AI Agent designed for lawyers by lawyers, leveraging Litera’s 30 years of legal tech experience and intellectual property.

It is integrated into the unified, AI-powered Litera One interface, already utilized by nearly 40% of Litera’s customers today across Word, Outlook, and Web.

Lito includes a baseline library of 11 legal AI skills designed by Litera’s legal knowledge engineers which will be constantly expanded on an ongoing basis to support some of the legal industry’s most pressing needs, including Capital Markets, M&A, Business Development, Litigation and Compliance, the company said.

High-profile law firms in Litera's Early Access Program for Lito helped shape the AI agent's expanding capabilities.

“The platform has a user-friendly interface and has simplified the need for prompt engineering through the use of pre-defined skills, which was useful for users who were less familiar with working with LLMs,” said Joshua Tan, partner at Delta Law Corporation. “The use of Lito shows significant promise for reducing the time required for menial tasks, particularly once users become more accustomed with the parameters of the platform.”

Lito doesn’t stop at single tasks—it chains multiple skills together into guided, step-by-step workflows that integrate with the existing Litera ecosystem through a single interface embedded natively into legal professionals' most used tools, including integrations with iManage and NetDocuments that drive knowledge work into each workflow, the company said.

Lito is available now. For more information about this news, visit www.litera.com.
