Legalweek 2025: Demos And Analysis Of Deepjudge, Vincent Ai, Thomson Reuters Cocounsel, Lexisnexis Protégé And More

By Neil CameronLegalWeek 2025 brought together some of the most innovative legal technology vendors, showcasing groundbreaking advancements in AI, automation, and data security.AdvertisementAs I wandered round I kept my eyes open for things that managed to grab my attention, here are some of those things.Legal Research & AnalysisDeepJudge were demonstrating their impressive AI-powered document search and analysis tools that can be used across a law firm’s entire corpus of data. Their context-aware NLP-driven technology facilitates untrained lawyers to retrieve and interpret complex case materials with a high degree of granularity and accuracy.AdvertisementI was particularly impressed with their NCLC AI Workflow development tool, which enables firms to produce complex AI applications based on a series of linked Workflow objects in a unique drag-and-drop environment.Orson Welles will have to rethink the famous speech from the top of the Ferris Wheel in The Third Man – the Swiss are now responsible for developing something much more exciting than the Cuckoo Clock.Alexi showed its AI-assisted legal research platform, providing speedy case law analysis and predictive insights. Others on the stand appeared impressed by its ability to streamline legal reasoning and produce relevant legal arguments.Wolters Kluwer continued to fly the European flag vying with the large US-based legal publishers with their multi-jurisdiction AI-based research system. The demonstration searches, however, were all pre-defined, and I was a bit disappointed that I wasn’t allowed to suggest my own searches.vLex Vincent AI Law demonstrated its AI-enhanced legal research and citation verification capabilities. I tried out a few different utilities; one was the analysis of a complaint which extracted and analysed a series of claims, proposed a defence to each claim as well as drafted a questionnaire of factual questions to ask the client about each claim.We then tried a standard 2nd Amendment query I’ve been using to compare different research tools – hoping that one day one of these AI research tools will criticise the Supreme Court’s various rulings – Heller (2008) and McDonald v. City of Chicago (2010) – which decided that the prefatory clause (“A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State”) does not in any way circumvent the operative clause (“the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”) against all common sense

Clio raises $900M, stays private.

Clio, a legaltech company based in Burnaby, BC, raised a record-breaking $900 million USD Series F round at a $3 billion USD pre-money valuation in 2024. This round surpassed 1Password's previous record and accounted for nearly half of Canada's Q3 2024 tech funding. Clio's decision to stay private reflects a trend of Canadian tech companies avoiding the public market due to investor pressure and market conditions. Many companies, like Nuvei, have gone private, with IPOs expected to pick up in 2025-2026.
