Litera brings Foundation Firm AI Search into ChatGPT with plugin.

Litera brings Foundation Firm AI Search into ChatGPT with plugin. CHICAGO - Sept. 18, 2026 - Litera, the Legal AI platform provider that best unifies the practice and business of law, announced its plugin availability within ChatGPT Enterprise, bringing Foundation Firm AI Search into ChatGPT so eligible Foundation Cloud users can query their firm's experience data in natural language. Foundation is the growth intelligence backbone for more than 300 law firms, including seven of the eight fastest-growing Am Law 25 firms and six of the 10 firms with the highest profits per equity partner. Small Business Software In ChatGPT, users can ask strategic questions about what their firm knows, which experience is most relevant, and who has the right experience and relationships for a new opportunity. Responses are grounded in the Foundation records each user is permitted to access. Litera brings 30 years of legal expertise, Foundation's legal-specific data model, and each firm's own governed experience and relationship records. Foundation Firm AI Search connects those strengths, meeting lawyers in ChatGPT while keeping Foundation as the source of firm intelligence. Foundation customers use that intelligence to support more responsive client service, faster and more accurate RFP responses, and new revenue opportunities. When users need supporting records, citations, record links, or deeper workflows, they continue in Litera or Foundation. "Frontier intelligence becomes more useful when connected to a firm's own experience and relationships," said Grant Hewlett, VP, Product for Firm Intelligence, Litera. "OpenAI brings the reasoning. Foundation brings what a firm has done, who led the work, or how its client relationships connect. For years, many of the world's leading law firms have relied on Foundation to organize their most strategic experience and relationship knowledge. Bringing Firm AI Search plugin in ChatGPT makes that firm intelligence accessible through a prompt, grounded in the Foundation records each user is permitted to access, so firms can put it to work on the next client opportunity." A lawyer responding to an RFP can ask, "Show me our most relevant pharmaceutical IP litigation experience for this RFP," and receive a response grounded in the Foundation records they are permitted to access. When the lawyer needs supporting records, citations, record links, or deeper workflows, the work continues in Litera Foundation. Foundation Firm AI Search plugin works alongside OpenAI frontier capabilities with Litera's legal-specific data model and each firm's own governed experience and relationship records. Each eligible firm searches only its own configured Foundation environment; the capability does not expose another firm's data. "We believe the next generation of AI for law will be built around what makes each firm distinctive - its expertise, judgment, and way of working. By building alongside Litera, we're turning that expertise into AI lawyers can use every day, creating new ways for firms to serve their clients and shape the future of legal work." - Jason Boehmig, GM Legal Industry at OpenAI Foundation Firm AI Search plugin is available to eligible Foundation Cloud customers through ChatGPT, with an initial rollout to U.S.-based firms. This announcement coincides with the OpenAI for Law Summit on Thursday, September 17, in New York City.

Litera launches Firm AI Search and business development intelligence.

Litera launches Firm AI Search and business development intelligence. Litera, the Legal AI platform provider that best unifies the practice and business of law, announced breakthroughs in AI for the Business of Law, helping firms gain complete visibility of their experience data to better manage client relationships and uncover new growth opportunities. Firm AI Search is accessed through Lito, Litera's award-winning Legal AI agent, letting lawyers query their firm's matter, client, and expertise data directly in the tools they already use. Litera also announced new growth intelligence capabilities that surface proactive business development signals with monetary value directly inside Foundation 365. Foundation is the growth intelligence backbone for over 300 of the world's top law firms. Included in its customer roster are 7 of the 8 fastest growing firms in the world, 6 of the 10 highest in Profits per Equity Partner, along with 73 of the 100 most-ranked Chambers firms. "The top Am Law and G200 firms in growth and profitability have been relying on Foundation for many years," said Avaneesh Marwaha, CEO, Litera. "Firm AI Search in Lito now delivers a level of immediate access, connection, and action that we could only dream of a few years ago. Now, lawyers and knowledge professionals have a single conversational interface or inbox to immediately access deep institutional expertise, relationship patterns, and outside market signals. Our North Star has always been about 'maniacal client service,' and we are excited to provide our law firm customers with an entirely new advantage starting today." Built on Litera's deep history in knowledge management, Firm AI Search connects the data that already lives across Foundation, matter systems, and expertise databases into a single conversational interface through Lito. With Lito Lookups, a simple @mention surfaces matter, client, and people records without leaving the chat. Firm AI Search is now generally available to Foundation Cloud customers, with initial rollout to US-based firms. Litera provides dedicated adoption support to help customers realize value on day one. Litera GrowthTech is a legal-native growth technology platform that unifies experience data, relationship intelligence, engagement signals, and marketing execution to help firms see where they are best positioned to win business and act on it. At ILTACON, Litera is showcasing new capabilities: * Foundation 365 Integration with Foundation Proactive ERM powered by Postilize: Automatically surfaces relationship strength, trends, and communication patterns using email and calendar metadata - without accessing message content. Relationship intelligence helps identify strong, weakening, and at-risk relationships. Integrated with Foundation 365, this intelligence can be combined with firm experience and client data to help professionals understand not only who knows whom, but where the firm is best positioned to engage. * Proactive Signals with Monetary Value: Through its integration with Foundation, Proactive combines business development Signals with historical matter and financial data, adding revenue context that helps teams prioritize opportunities based on their potential value to the firm rather than treating every Signal equally. * Proactive Cleanse: CRM data becomes outdated quickly as contacts change companies, roles, titles, and contact information. Proactive Cleanse continuously identifies and validates these changes, achieving 80-85% accuracy and capture rates compared to 30% from email signature scraping alone helping firms maintain accurate, up-to-date contact data at scale while significantly reducing the manual effort required to keep CRM records current. "As legal organizations move from experimenting with AI to embedding it in day-to-day work, the firms that gain an advantage will be those that connect AI to their own institutional knowledge and relationship data," said Ryan O'Leary, Research Director, Privacy and Legal Technology, IDC. "The technology must fit naturally into existing workflows, and firms need education and support to apply it effectively." To share your insights, please write to The ABM at [email protected]

Legal AI news - Hotshot Collaborates with Litera on Legal Training.

Legal AI news - Hotshot Collaborates with Litera on Legal Training. Hotshot Collaborates with Litera on Legal Training as Firms Rethink Talent Development in the Age of AI Lawyers and firms will soon be able to access their Hotshot subscriptions and library of 400+ courses through Litera's CE Manager, giving firms a connected way to develop talent and manage compliance CHICAGO and NEW YORK - Aug. 20, 2026 - Litera, the Legal AI platform provider that best unifies the practice and business of law, and Hotshot, the learning platform for lawyers used by over half the Am Law 100, regional and boutique firms, signed a Memorandum of Understanding to work toward a deepened collaboration that will make Hotshot's practical, on-demand courses accessible through Litera CE Manager, the learning management and CLE compliance platform designed for law firms. Lawyers will be able to discover and firms can assign Hotshot courses, as well as track their completion and eligible credits, all within CE Manager. The integration is expected to be available by Q4, 2026. "As GenAI takes on work that has traditionally been the training ground for junior lawyers, firms are rethinking how they train lawyers for the underlying knowledge and skills needed while also helping lawyers at every level learn to use these tools effectively and responsibly," said Ian Nelson, Co-Founder, Hotshot. (pictured above). "Bringing Hotshot's practical learning into Litera CE Manager will give firms a more connected way to deliver that training, structure development by role and experience level, and manage CLE compliance in one place." Nearly seven in 10 legal professionals now use GenAI tools for work, a figure that more than doubled in a single year, according to the 2026 Legal Industry Report from 8am. Yet the training infrastructure has not kept pace. A 2026 survey from Wolters Kluwer found that over a third of legal professionals report inadequate training and difficulty integrating AI with existing systems, with growing questions about reduced opportunity for junior attorneys as AI takes over routine tasks. The collaboration builds on existing work between Litera and Hotshot on CLE credit tracking. Through the expanded relationship, CE Manager customers will be able to integrate the full Hotshot library of 400+ courses into their learning experience. Hotshot's approach prioritizes practical learning first, with the ability to earn CLE credit layered on top, so lawyers develop useful skills while satisfying compliance requirements rather than treating CLE as a checkbox. "Firms need practical learning that builds real skills and judgment, not just compliance hours," said Valerie Connell, Vice President of Products, Litera. "With Hotshot's courses accessible directly through Litera CE Manager, our customers will get exactly that, within the platform they already rely on." See us at ILTACON in Nashville, August 24-27, Hotshot in booth #775 and Litera in booth #301. Ian Nelson is also speaking at ILTACON on the panel, "Human-Centered AI Adoption: A Practical Training Playbook," on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, 3:30 p.m. CT.
