With technology evolving at breakneck speed, clients expect faster answers, more transparency, and better outcomes. At the same time, legal teams are being asked to handle more work without adding headcount.
The problem isn’t effort — it’s fragmentation.
Critical case details live everywhere. A key fact buried in an intake note. A client update sitting in email. A crucial admission hidden in a text thread no one has revisited. Pulling it all together takes time, coordination and constant follow-up. Even then, things get missed.
That’s where LOIS comes in: catching what slips through so you don’t have to.
Already embedded into the platform, LOIS, (short for Legal Operating Intelligence System), is designed to function like a true coworker inside your firm: understanding your work, executing tasks, and helping move cases forward without constant oversight.
And with the introduction of the LOIS Console — a standalone AI experience — that coworker is now available from day one, no matter where your data lives.
“LOIS is the engine that’s going to be there for every team member at every single step, whether it’s intake, preparing for litigation, drafting or closing out a case,” Filevine said during a live walkthrough on April 21, 2026.
Here’s what that looks like in practice.
An AI coworker that actually does the work
Most AI tools in legal feel like assistants: helpful, but limited. They answer questions, summarize documents and stop there.
LOIS goes further.
It works like a teammate that can take direction, execute, and keep tasks moving:
- Execute in plain English: Describe what you need — LOIS finds the information, builds the answer, and takes action
- Plan and scope work: Whether preparing for litigation or drafting strategy, LOIS outlines the approach from start to finish
- Unblock stalled work: It surfaces missing information, flags risks and helps ensure nothing falls through the cracks
- Act without interruption: Draft emails, summarize case histories and generate next steps — all in one flow
Instead of jumping between tools and workflows, attorneys can simply ask, and LOIS gets it done.
An AI brain that actually speaks legal
Filevine acknowledged there are many other AI tools, but the rest are so unspecialized that they’re better at writing poetry than a motion for court.
LOIS is built differently. It sits inside the secure Filevine environment and pulls from everything in the case, including emails, texts, phone logs, intake fields, deadlines, billing entries and documents. Its knowledge base was trained on legal and medical concepts, so it understands what it’s looking at across a variety of practice areas.
“If I type ‘TBI,’ it knows that I’m talking about a traumatic brain injury,” Filevine said. “It has that context underneath, but it also has the context of what lives within a case.”
Filevine gave the example of a case involving a helicopter pilot who landed in a snowmobile area without proper lighting or warnings. A rider hit the helicopter in low visibility. When asked how to approach the pilot’s deposition, LOIS built a line of questioning grounded in the record.
What planning happened before landing? What were the site conditions? What was the communication history? LOIS knew the pilot had spoken to snowmobilers and still took no action. Finally, it looked at what happened after the crash, including text messages where he mocked the injured party and showed no remorse.
“Almost instantly, it’s surfacing really important information that traditionally takes a lot of time to pull together,” Filevine said.
A research assistant who never gets tired
For practicing attorneys overseeing large teams, it isn’t uncommon for everyone to dig through records for a needle in the haystack all day, every day, for months. If they’re searching for information related to a diagnosis, 10 or 20 terms could be used, not counting abbreviations. So things get missed.
“Even my best people, by Friday I could see the decrease in their work quality because we’re all human,” Filevine said.
Not only does LOIS surface information faster, it also identifies evidence that may have gone unnoticed. For instance, a party could have been acting in bad faith, and there is a message showing that they knew something happened before they said that they knew it happened.
LOIS can also help decide how to best position a case as you draft a complaint. It can look at the jurisdiction and facts of the case, and then search reputable legal sources to help find case law to support your position.
LOIS is trustworthy, verifiable and secure
If there’s one thing lawyers distrust more than opposing counsel, it’s a tool that can’t explain itself.
Filevine emphasized that LOIS always provides backup for its answers, providing citations to internal or external sources so lawyers can verify its accuracy. If LOIS flags a damaging text message or pulls from a witness statement or a document, you can click on it to check it out yourself.
The same approach applies to legal research. Any relevant case law LOIS identifies will be cited from a curated library of trusted legal sources.
“We make sure it’s not going to Reddit or a Yahoo chat board,” Filevine said. “So we have a lot of control over when and where it does this research.”
As an added security measure, Filvevine practices what’s known as zero-day retention. Users can go back to their search history, but the outputs are never stored to be used to train a larger model.
LOIS Console brings insight to the whole firm
With the LOIS Console, anyone in the firm can ask questions and take action:
- A managing partner can identify high-value cases that need attention.
- A lead attorney can surface risks slowing down progress.
- A paralegal can track outstanding requests across multiple matters.
“Regardless of what someone’s role is, we want this to be a helpful tool,” Filevine said.
There are also guardrails on access. The LOIS Console only surfaces information a user is authorized to see, so sensitive matters stay restricted.
Start with AI
Traditionally, adopting new legal technology meant long implementations, data migrations and disruption.
LOIS removes that friction.
With the LOIS Console, firms can:
- Upload documents from anywhere
- Start using AI immediately
- See value on real work from day one
“Having all these features built in provides a huge value benefit and insight to what was traditionally very manual and labor-intensive,” Filevine said.
Reclaim time. Reduce busywork. Move faster.
Legal work isn’t slowing down, and the firms that win won’t be the ones working harder — they’ll be the ones working smarter.
LOIS is built for that reality.
Not another tool to manage, but a coworker that thinks alongside you, executes the details and keeps the cases moving forward. That’s the shift.
