Artificial Intelligence (AI) has a huge number of applications for law firms. From help with drafting emails and letters to support with managing documents and legal compliance tasks, AI can revolutionise lawyer’s case management methods and productivity and can level up the way law firms operate. Read on to discover the top AI tools taking the legal industry by storm.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a free AI tool with the ability to create paragraphs of text in response to open-ended text queries, making it an excellent tool for lawyers looking to speed up the process of drafting and editing emails and letters. For a subscription cost of £20 per month (Teams subscription), users can benefit from a number of additional services such as priority access, faster response times, priority access to new features and most importantly, your data is not used to train the AI model.

A drawback of ChatGPT to be aware of is its time limitations. ChatGPT is not always perfectly up to date, meaning the tool may not have knowledge of very recent law reforms or case law updates.

Copilot for Microsoft 365

For law firms that already use Microsoft 365, Copilot is any easy way to integrate AI into legal practice in a way that feels natural. Built to work alongside Microsoft 365 and its existing security, compliance, and privacy policies, this AI tool is able to expand on text queries, summarise email threads and draft replies, and even analyse data trends, and so much more. For an additional £20 per month on top of an existing Microsoft 365 subscription, Copilot is an invaluable tool for enhancing the efficiency and productivity of legal practice.
