How Agentic AI is Revolutionizing Legal Work

Good Morning Oliver

At Vecflow, it’s our job to apply intelligent systems to the world’s most complicated problems. However, unlike OpenAI, we are not a general intelligence platform. We serve only one demographic – those who practice law. General-purpose LLMs are smart but inexperienced, and as every supervisor of interns or summer associates knows, there is a big difference between intelligence and knowledge. Our flagship product, Oliver, connects the reasoning power of LLMs to the tools needed to succeed in a legal context. 

Core Agentic Reasoning

Oliver combines three essential elements for effective legal work:

Complex Reasoning: Our agentic AI breaks down legal problems into clear steps, considering multiple factors and precedents before reaching conclusions. This systematic approach ensures thorough legal reasoning (which users can monitor) and cited sources.

Multi-step Process Management: Each agent coordinates multiple legal tasks simultaneously, connecting different elements of legal work - from research to drafting to review. This creates a seamless workflow that mirrors how experienced lawyers approach complex cases.

Legal Resource Integration: Oliver directly uses key legal tools, including:

  • SEC EDGAR filings

  • Word (and can add tracked changes)

  • Internal document repositories (for similar documents or for discovery)

  • Email, Microsoft Teams, and Slack

Intelligence At Scale

Imagine having a hundred Olivers working simultaneously in your legal department - each independently analyzing documents, drafting agreements, or reviewing regulations. This isn't science fiction; it's what our system delivers today. Multiple instances of Oliver work asynchronously in the background, sharing insights and coordinating efforts while you focus on strategic decisions. At the same time, users maintain complete visibility into Oliver's work. Each decision and step is documented, allowing legal teams to understand exactly how conclusions were reached and adjust parameters as needed.

Specialized Workflows

We've developed custom processes for law firms and in-house legal departments:


Generating First Drafts: For transactional teams, Oliver drafts agreements using your organization's templates and standards. For litigation teams, it prepares initial complaints and responses, incorporating relevant citations and jurisdiction-specific requirements.

Contract Analysis: Oliver streamlines contract review by simultaneously analyzing multiple aspects of each document. It compares terms against your organization's standard positions, searches through historical agreements for precedent, and examines relevant regulations. This parallel processing approach delivers comprehensive analysis in a fraction of the typical review time.


Due Diligence Analysis: Our agentic AI examines thousands of documents, identifying key terms, potential risks, and compliance issues. Oliver flags important findings and organizes information for efficient review.

Regulatory Analysis: Oliver tracks regulatory changes assesses their impact on matters, and generates compliance recommendations based on current laws and organizational precedent.

Value Across Legal Organizations

Oliver helps law firms maintain the precise, rapid response that clients expect. It accelerates document review, contract analysis, and drafting while ensuring consistency with firm standards and best practices. This allows firms to handle larger volumes of work without compromising quality or attention to detail.

For in-house legal teams, Oliver serves as a proactive risk management tool. It continuously monitors documents and practices across the organization, identifying potential compliance issues before they become problems. By analyzing patterns in contracts, policies, and regulatory requirements, Oliver helps legal departments maintain comprehensive oversight while reducing risk exposure.

Whether working with external counsel or managing internal legal operations, Oliver's agentic AI capabilities ensure that legal work maintains the highest standards of precision while operating at the speed of modern business demands.

Taking a deeper dive

Over the next few weeks and months, as with our commitment to open source, we will release a series of blogs, breaking down our agentic implementation and highlighting key workflows where we have seen agentic AI excel for day-to-day legal operations.
