Legalfly’s latest release brings the power of AI directly into Microsoft Word

Legal AI transforms legal workflows. By handling repetitive tasks like drafting, reviewing, and compliance checking, it frees legal professionals to concentrate on complex, high-value work. This new release takes team productivity to a new level, extending Legalfly’s lead in the market. 

  • The Microsoft Word plugin combines efficiency with security, integrating AI-powered drafting and review tools directly into the familiar Microsoft Word environment. 
  • Enhanced multi-document review accelerates compliance audits, due diligence, and large-scale document review. You can easily compare documents and highlight risks, inconsistencies, and required changes.
  • The new anonymisation agent adds the ability to create an anonymised document store for future processing or for discovery in a shared data room. This bulk processing option is in addition to the automatic anonymisation embedded in the drafting and review features. 

Automatic anonymisation within Word

Legalfly is the only legal AI solution that provides automatic anonymisation, securing confidential information at the earliest stage of document handling. This feature anonymises sensitive details in text, handwriting, and images upon upload, creating a protective layer before any analysis begins. Sensitive data is retained on premises or in a private cloud. Whether inputting scanned documents, PDFs, or handwritten notes, Legalfly ensures that all data is anonymised, adhering to the most stringent privacy requirements.

Draft and review in Word

Legalfly’s AI associate simplifies both drafting and review directly within Microsoft Word. When drafting, the plugin can suggest clauses based on client-specific information or requirements, using conditional logic to tailor content quickly and accurately. This is ideal for handling complex contracts, such as credit agreements, where specific client needs and compliance requirements can vary.

A Belgian bank is using this feature to draft lengthy, complex credit agreements in Microsoft Word. By automating the redaction of sensitive client information, Legalfly streamlines their documentation process, maintaining confidentiality while managing intricate conditional logic across hundreds of pages.

For review, the AI assesses documents for compliance, risk, and consistency, helping users catch issues in a fraction of the usual time. It automatically highlights risky clauses and suggests alternatives, ensuring that critical points are easily identifiable and actionable. This streamlines the review process, which can now be completed significantly faster while maintaining a high standard of accuracy.

The secure legal AI associate inserts clauses and redrafts agreements while retaining the original formatting. Changes are tracked and redlined for easy collaboration. Lawyers can get legal guidance, including the source for answers, directly within the Word interface.

Multi-document review for scale

Legalfly’s multi-document review allows users to analyse multiple documents at once, a useful feature when reviewing similar contracts or agreements across different clients or jurisdictions. AI performs a comparative analysis across these documents, spotting inconsistencies, potential risks, and key compliance concerns. By handling multiple documents in one go, it drastically reduces the time spent on repetitive reviews, allowing legal teams to focus on more complex decision-making.

A digital payments firm needing to meet DORA compliance standards is using Legalfly’s multi-document review to efficiently check 1,600 contracts for specific regulatory clauses, a process that would otherwise have taken weeks.

A shipping company uses Legalfly to compare specific clauses across multiple insurance policies in different languages. Automatic translation and comparison of clauses across multiple policies saves hours of time. The reports summarise the findings across the policies, highlighting differences, inconsistencies, and compliance issues.

Bulk upload and anonymisation for streamlined workflows

The bulk upload feature not only enables rapid anonymisation but also helps legal teams build a secure, accessible repository of documents within Microsoft Word. With this centralised storage, users can ask Legalfly’s AI associate questions using natural language, making it easy to locate specific clauses, information, or risk points across multiple documents. This natural language search saves time on manual searches, making quick retrieval simple.

A UK venture capital firm is using this bulk upload and retrieval feature to speed up their due diligence process. They can upload and analyse large volumes of contracts and documents, quickly identifying key clauses, non-standard terms, and potential risks. The natural language search capability makes information retrieval fast and easy, which is crucial in the time-sensitive investment environment.

Legalfly is helping legal teams reach new levels of efficiency while maintaining confidentiality.
