Litera announces new milestone as its no-cost access model disrupts legal tech

Litera, a global leader in legal AI technology, has achieved a new milestone, announcing a record-breaking year for AI adoption among law firms and corporate legal customers worldwide. 

Litera One, the AI drafting portfolio native to Microsoft 365, its newer agentic assistant Lito, and AI workflow platform Kira saw monthly active users surge tenfold since spring 2025 and thousands of new agentic skills completed, validating the company's experience-based approach to AI agents and industry-first decision to include advanced AI capabilities at no additional cost to existing customers, according to the company. 

Litera took a contrarian approach when compared to most AI startups in the industry, treating AI as a fundamental enhancement to its core drafting tools rather than a premium add-on. The result was unprecedented adoption rates that earned the platform three prestigious awards. Lito also earned AI Legal Assistant Solution of the Year in 2025 in the LegalTech Breakthrough Awards Program, the company said.

By removing cost barriers to AI adoption, Litera has triggered a cascade of usage that reveals pent-up demand for practical AI tools:

• 10x growth in monthly active cloud drafting users since spring 2025 

• 26,000+ AI-powered document summaries generated 

• 10,000+ document chat conversations in November alone 

• 68% of new enterprise customers actively using the platform 

• 2,000+ GenAI skills completed  

• Litera’s Kira product alone saw more than 4 million documents uploaded and processed through the year with GenAI feature usage such as generative smart fields growing over 160% month over month 

"We knew we had the ingredients right when we saw adoption take off almost immediately after launch," said Litera CEO Avaneesh Marwaha. "By removing the cost barrier and including Lito as part of our drafting products, we've proven that lawyers are ready for AI—they just needed it integrated into tools they already trust. When you see 10x growth in three months and thousands of agentic workflows being completed daily, it confirms what we believed: this isn't about charging more for innovation; it's about making our 30 years of legal experience exponentially more powerful through AI." 

Litera's decision to include agentic workflows at no extra cost represents a fundamental shift in enterprise AI deployment strategy, the company said. While the industry debates subscription tiers and token-based pricing, Litera's approach has created a natural experiment in AI adoption—one that shows professionals will rapidly embrace AI when financial and technical barriers are removed.  

The strategy leverages Litera's three decades of domain experience, embedding AI directly into Microsoft 365 workflows where lawyers already spend their time.
