    Overview

    A legal copilot is an AI assistant purpose-built for legal professionals. Unlike general-purpose AI, a legal copilot understands legal reasoning, can navigate case law and legislation, and produces outputs with professional citations. Cassandra Research's AI Legal Engine operates as a legal copilot.

    What a Legal Copilot Can Do

    • •Research case law, legislation, and regulatory materials using natural language
    • •Summarise judicial reasoning and identify relevant precedents
    • •Draft memos, briefs, and client communications
    • •Review contracts and identify risks
    • •Flag relevant regulatory changes

    Benefits for Law Firms

    Legal copilots can help prepare an initial research outline or draft for a lawyer to review. Time savings depend on the matter, source coverage and verification work; no measured productivity or accuracy comparison is presented here.
