Microsoft is transforming the practice of law by introducing an AI lawyer straight into Microsoft Word. The new feature utilizes state-of-the-art AI models to help with more complex legal tasks, including contract drafting, document review, risk identification, and compliance with regulations.

With the help of the Microsoft Copilot technology, the AI is able to comprehend the context, propose clauses, and even shorten long legal documents as well as come up with initial drafts provided with just a few simple prompts. This application will help lawyers, corporate legal departments, and those who have to work with large volumes of documents increase their productivity.

Although it does not replace human lawyers, the AI saves a lot of time as it does not have to cooperate manually on routine and repetitive tasks. In its design, Microsoft focuses on its data security measures and compliance with the legal standards. First users indicate significant savings in time in research and drafting.

This release is a significant move towards the use of AI in the legal field and may revolutionize the way legal services are provided worldwide. The feature will be slowly implemented among Word users who have proper subscriptions.
