"If you want to work more efficiently across litigation workflows, bundles, or DSARs, talk to us. " - Casian Sala, Managing Director
Legora, Harvey, nearfield.ai, Lucio AI, plus Copilot, Claude, and a growing list of alternatives mean lawyers now face an abundance of GenAI options promising faster, smarter work. The opportunity is real. GenAI can transform how we draft, review, summarise, and manage information across matters. Yet in practice, many teams are finding that choosing the right tool is not just about features. It comes down to workflow fit, transparency, and whether the technology can actually deliver the outputs legal work demands.
Clients regularly tell us the market can be difficult to navigate. Some providers run an almost interview-style process before accepting you as a customer. Others make it hard to understand where data is stored and whether prompts or documents are used to train large language models, with key details buried in the small print. Many tools are excellent at one discrete task but require data to be moved into other products to complete an end-to-end workflow. And even when a platform covers most of what a team needs, it may not allow work product to be shared cleanly with third parties, which is often essential in disputes and investigations.
GenAI is already making a meaningful difference to how legal teams work. Beyond the obvious compliance and security questions, however, the decisive factor is often the output. Where a matter requires highly specific deliverables—such as a disclosure exercise, a hearing bundle, or DSAR work—the consensus we see is consistent: specialised tools are almost always the best answer because they are designed around legal processes, not generic text generation.
Consider the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), there are opportunities to apply GenAI at almost every stage, from early case assessment through review and production. What we have not yet seen is a single product that reliably supports the full journey end-to-end without compromises. In most real-world workflows, the best results come from selecting the right combination of tools for the task—minimising unnecessary data transfers, keeping data handling transparent, and ensuring the final work product can be shared with counsel, experts, courts, regulators, or other third parties as needed.
If you want to work more efficiently across litigation workflows, bundles, or DSARs, talk to us. We’ll help you pin down your requirements, cut through the noise, and compare options with the right level of scrutiny. The goal is simple: identify the tools that genuinely fit your matters, risk profile, and how your team collaborates.
GenAI is creating real efficiency gains for legal teams, but the best outcomes come from prioritising transparency, collaboration needs and—above all—whether a tool reliably produces the specific deliverables your matters require. For complex workflows across the EDRM, that typically means combining specialised products rather than searching for a single “do-it-all” platform.
