Customer results highlight growing demand for unified drafting, comparison, and collaboration within Microsoft 365 and web 

NEW YORK – Legalweek 2026 – Mar. 10, 2026 – Litera, a global leader in legal AI technology solutions, shared new customer results at Legalweek demonstrating how law firms are transforming document workflows and realizing immediate value with Litera’s AI-powered drafting and compare. Hand Arendall Harrison Sale, one of the largest law firms in the Southeastern U.S. with more than 85 lawyers across Alabama and Florida, recently deployed Litera One as part of a broader technology modernization initiative. By unifying drafting, comparison, and collaboration directly within Microsoft 365 and extending workflows to web and mobile, the firm streamlined document processes and eliminated long-standing friction for attorneys.

Prior to implementation, document comparison tools were creating friction among some of the firm’s most experienced users. After adopting Litera One’s drafting capabilities, the firm recorded zero complaints and just a single Help Desk call following rollout, signaling immediate user adoption and measurable operational impact. 

The results reflect a broader shift across the legal industry as firms move toward unified, embedded workflows that reduce context-switching and accelerate time to value. Litera One brings together the tools attorneys rely on every day – drafting, review, knowledge, and performance workflows – into a single experience across Word, Outlook, web, and mobile environments. 

Amplifying the platform is Lito, Litera’s AI legal agent, which transforms firm knowledge into real-time, context-aware intelligence. Lito helps lawyers understand intent, recommend next steps, and navigate drafting, review, and knowledge management workflows with greater speed and confidence. Lito was recently honored with a 2025 AI Core Technology Award from TMCnet, recognizing the next generation of AI applications by providing the platforms and infrastructure that turn AI potential into real-world impact. 

“Law firms are under more pressure than ever to do more with less, and experiences built on the Litera One platform delivers on that promise from day one,” said Joey Benedek, VP of Product at Litera. “What we’re seeing with firms like Hand Arendall Harrison Sale isn’t just faster document workflows. It’s a fundamental shift in how lawyers work — with less friction, more confidence, and more time for the work that matters. When you combine that with the intelligence of Lito, our AI orchestration layer,  you’re not just modernizing a process. You’re transforming a firm.” 

With deep integration into leading document management systems including iManage and NetDocuments, Litera One also enables document governance protocols to remain intact while dramatically improving the attorney experience.

At Legalweek 2026, IPSA Intelligent Systems announced the launch of a new approach to legal AI — one designed from the ground up around the architecture of attorney-client privilege.

The platform is built by the engineering team behind AI systems deployed for the U.S. intelligence community. Now, that same security-first architecture is being applied to the legal industry.

IPSA’s core premise is simple: client data should never leave the firm’s control.

Unlike many AI products that rely on external language models or shared infrastructure, IPSA deploys entirely within a law firm’s own environment — either on-premise servers or the firm’s private cloud. No client data passes through third-party servers, and nothing is transmitted externally under “zero retention” policies or contractual assurances.

Instead, the infrastructure itself guarantees privacy.

Built for the Most Demanding Security Environments

The architecture behind IPSA originates from work conducted for the United States intelligence community.

In July 2025, The Washington Post reported that Mojave Research had been engaged by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to deploy AI analytical tools on intelligence community data. Subsequent reporting from Reuters, CNN, and NBC News highlighted the company’s work in cybersecurity and AI systems supporting government intelligence programs.

IPSA Intelligent Systems was founded by the same team and brings that experience to legal technology.

“When you build AI for environments where a single unauthorized data transmission can be a federal crime, you learn to think about architecture differently,” said IPSA founder and CEO Jason Wareham. “That discipline matters when your next client is a law firm whose obligation to client confidentiality is absolute.”

Wareham argues that many legal AI systems rely on infrastructure models that were never designed for the ethical obligations of legal practice.

“Attorney-client privilege is not a setting you toggle,” Wareham said. “It is a condition your infrastructure either guarantees or it does not.”

Workspace-Based Legal Research

IPSA’s platform centers on workspace-based legal research designed around the structure of real legal matters.

Attorneys create dedicated workspaces for each case and define the parameters of their research. Within those workspaces, the AI can analyze the firm’s internal case files alongside external sources such as academic journals, administrative records, and legal databases.

Before executing research queries, the system generates clarifying questions to refine the research objective. It then retrieves and ranks documents based on relevance, presenting results for attorney review and triage.

Lawyers can accept, reject, bookmark, or flag documents while building a structured body of research within the workspace.

An integrated AI Notepad synthesizes findings across multiple sources, while tags and annotations allow attorneys to develop institutional knowledge over time.

Each additional query compounds the knowledge within the workspace, transforming every case into a growing repository of analyzed legal work product.

Because the system runs entirely on the firm’s infrastructure, there are no per-query token costs. The platform operates continuously, analyzing and refining its understanding of the firm’s knowledge base even when attorneys are offline.

Over time, the firm builds an expanding library of institutional intelligence that remains entirely within its own environment.

IPSA Companion: Verifying Legal Documents in Real Time

Alongside the research platform, IPSA introduced IPSA Companion — a Microsoft Word plugin designed to verify legal documents before they are filed or circulated.

With a single click, IPSA Companion extracts factual claims from a document and verifies each one against the firm’s research, case law, and internal source material.

Each claim is classified in real time as either supported or flagged for further review. When a statement is challenged, the system identifies contradicting sources and provides evidence citations.

A live verification feed shows the AI’s reasoning, retrieval queries, and supporting evidence as the system evaluates the document.

The result is a color-coded verification map of every factual assertion within a brief, motion, or memorandum — providing attorneys with a transparent evidentiary trail before the document leaves their control.

Leadership Bridging Law and Technology

IPSA’s founder brings a rare combination of legal and technical experience to the platform.

Jason Wareham spent nearly twenty years as a trial and appellate litigator across military commissions, federal courts, and state courts. During thirteen years as a U.S. Marine Corps Judge Advocate, he served as one of the longest continuously serving criminal defense counsel in Marine Corps history.

His work included serving on the defense team in the September 11th military commission proceedings at Guantanamo Bay and leading defense teams in the USS Cole and Bali Bombing cases.

Wareham later founded Mojave Research to develop AI systems for government and intelligence community clients.

IPSA’s technical leadership includes researchers who have published at leading AI conferences such as NeurIPS and in IEEE publications, with expertise in privacy-preserving machine learning and secure model deployment.

Founding Firm Program

IPSA is launching its platform through a Founding Firm Program limited to fifty law firms.

Participants receive priority deployment, direct collaboration with IPSA’s engineering and security teams, and input into the platform’s development roadmap.

Legalweek attendees are receiving the first opportunity to apply before the program opens more broadly.

Conversations at Legalweek

As part of its Legalweek launch, IPSA is offering fifteen-minute infrastructure walkthroughs for law firms and AI vendors attending the conference.

These sessions are designed as open technical conversations rather than traditional product demonstrations. Participants are encouraged to bring details about their current AI environments and discuss what is working, what is not, and how security architecture affects legal data protection.

The discussions are led by a team that has deployed AI systems under some of the most demanding security requirements in the United States government.

A Different Approach to Legal AI

As law firms increasingly explore artificial intelligence, questions about data security and confidentiality remain central to adoption.

IPSA’s launch reflects a growing belief among some technologists that AI for highly regulated industries must be built on fundamentally different infrastructure models than consumer or enterprise systems.

For IPSA, the principle guiding that design is simple:

Privilege is not a policy. It is an architecture.

Empowering Legal Professionals To Conduct Fact Research up to 45 Times Faster and Automate Over 80% of Review

Epiq announced AI enhancements to Epiq Discover™ (formerly Epiq Discovery) with the integration of Epiq AI Discovery AssistantTM capabilities, specifically Epiq Assist™ (formerly Epiq Chat) and automated AI review. These capabilities enable legal teams to conduct deeper fact research and increase review speed and accuracy directly within Epiq Discover.

This update strengthens the connectivity of Epiq AITM technologies, available through the Epiq Service Cloud, further streamlining litigation workflows across the litigation lifecycle. For example, the integration provides tools to enhance and accelerate early data assessment before data is reviewed in Epiq Discover or Relativity.

“Epiq Discover empowers legal teams to surface insights with a persistent knowledge layer that applies logic to identify deeper relationships and patterns,” said Eric Crawley, Senior Vice President of Product Management and Advanced Solutions at Epiq. “These integrations are transforming how legal professionals approach investigations, early case assessment, eDiscovery, and deposition preparation.”

Epiq Discover is a leader in the G2 eDiscovery Grid and a 2025 winner in the Best Legal Software Products category. It delivers processing speeds seven times faster than leading alternatives. With the Epiq AI Discovery Assistant integrations, clients now unlock two major advancements within the platform.

Advanced Fact Development and Research

Epiq Assist enables users to:

  • Surface key facts with links to source documents by entering unlimited requests across large datasets without filtering first.
  • Generate timelines, witness fact sheets, and summaries.
  • Conduct fact research up to 45 times faster than manual methods.

Accelerated Review

Automated review enables users to:

  • Classify documents for unlimited issue tags, relevance, privilege, and PII.
  • Analyze up to 500,000 documents per hour, four times faster than the nearest competitor.
  • Automate over 80% of review.
  • Complete review up to 90% faster than traditional TAR or linear methods.

“Epiq Discover is central to our discovery workflow, and the expanded capabilities allow our team to scale our efforts and gain sharper insights into our matters,” said Clinton Sanko, Shareholder and eDiscovery and Document Review Officer at Baker Donelson.

After review and analysis, critical data and witness testimony can be organized and annotated in Epiq Narrate™ (formerly EpiqTMX), which is also tightly integrated with Epiq Discover. This enables users to prepare their evidence and build their strategy for hearings and trials.

With Epiq Discover, Epiq AI Discovery Assistant, and Epiq Narrate all accessible through the Epiq Service Cloud, clients can support each stage of the litigation lifecycle, from investigations and early case assessment through discovery, depositions, hearings, and trial.

Experience these capabilities in action and learn more about the Epiq AI suite at Legalweek, from March 9 to 12 in New York, NY.

Everlaw, the cloud-native investigation and litigation platform, announced significant AI momentum, as top law firms and corporate legal teams fundamentally reshape their approach to litigation, moving from linear processes to strategy-first, iterative case development – a change made possible by innovative generative AI features such as EverlawAI Deep Dive.

These novel, strategy-first and AI-enabled approaches allow practitioners to develop strategic insights from the earliest moments of a matter – before review is complete and often before it begins. In these emerging approaches to litigation, lead attorneys leverage Everlaw AI Deep Dive to have a conversation with their entire document corpus, understanding their evidence and informing their strategy faster than ever before. Coupled with Everlaw Fact Management, these attorneys can extend this strategy planning capability with a fact-first structure, quickly establishing their theory of the case and refining it as they progress. From that set of insights, these legal teams are now able to largely automate discovery obligations like first-pass review with Everlaw AI Coding Suggestions, allowing for speedy and defensible document review with speed and accuracy matching, and often beating, human reviewers.

Deep Dive enables attorneys to analyze entire document collections at once — even across databases containing millions of records — and receive citation-backed responses grounded in the underlying evidence. Instead of waiting weeks or months for manual document review to surface key facts, legal teams can interrogate their data in minutes and begin shaping strategy from day one. In less than three months since general availability, legal teams have already put Deep Dive to work, asking thousands of individual questions across hundreds of cases and tens of millions of documents. Today, over 30 million documents reside in Deep Dive databases, with the average Deep Dive project size exceeding 100,000 documents.

Servient and Benchly have joined forces to launch legalgain, a new joint venture introducing a fundamentally different approach to legal research. Rather than giving attorneys a database to search, legalgain deploys a coordinated team of AI agents to execute research and deliver finished work product — claim analyses, research memos, and case briefs — built on Servient’s proprietary legal-domain model and Benchly’s commercial-grade corpus of U.S. case law.

The platform is built around what the company calls outcome-first legal research. Instead of returning results for attorneys to assemble, legalgain handles the execution so attorneys can apply their judgment earlier in the process. The shift is significant: AI moves from search tool to execution layer, and the attorney’s role moves from researcher to strategist.

legalgain also introduces a consumption-based pricing model that breaks from the legacy subscription structure of traditional legal research platforms. Firms pay for completed work product at the project level rather than for continuous database access — and since every project is scoped to a specific matter, the technology cost is 100% allocable to the work performed. The platform is currently in beta and accepting founding firms on a limited basis at www.legalgain.com.
