Litera's Lito AI Agent Cuts Document Review Time 83% at Mid-Sized Firm

A prominent mid-sized firm with diverse practice areas joined Litera's Early Access Program for Lito, the AI Legal Agent, and reported cutting routine document review time from 30 minutes to five minutes — an 83% reduction. The deployment was notable for two operational reasons. First, Lito integrates directly into Microsoft Word's navigation ribbon, meaning lawyers completed tasks without changing existing workflows and were using the tool on day one. Second, the implementation team consisted of just one associate attorney and one IT application specialist — a staffing model realistic for mid-sized firms that cannot stand up dedicated AI programs. Initial resistance from self-described "not very techy" lawyers evaporated once the tool ran on familiar tools with minimal training. The case is a clean proof point for the workflow-first adoption playbook: embed AI into tools lawyers already use rather than requiring them to switch platforms.
