Litera Launches Lito: An AI Legal Agent for Smarter Legal Workflows
Litera, a leading provider of legal technology solutions, has introduced Lito, an AI legal agent integrated into the Litera One platform. Lito acts as a virtual team member supporting both legal practice and business operations by streamlining workflows and providing quick access to relevant data.
This new AI tool is built to reduce the hassle of juggling multiple disconnected tools and managing large volumes of data—a challenge reported by 86% of lawyers. By aligning capabilities with user intent, Lito helps deliver timely, informed outcomes within familiar workflows.
How Lito Supports Legal Professionals
Lito leverages curated legal skills and connects to structured firm data to automate complex tasks and provide immediate insights. It operates securely within Litera’s enterprise-grade infrastructure, accessing only permissioned data and maintaining strict data governance and privacy controls.
