Wolters Kluwer today (26 September) announced the launch of generative AI (GenAI) functionality for VitalLaw, the company’s legal research platform. VitalLaw AI will be leveraged across Wolters Kluwer’s 25 practice areas including tax, securities, privacy, and labor and employment.
Ken Crutchfield, vice president & general manager of legal markets at Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory U.S. said: “VitalLaw AI harnesses Wolters Kluwer’s practical and value-first approach to AI. Our platform not only helps legal professionals locate and chat with the right information, but also extends that workflow by creating first drafts, compliance checklists or other key deliverables. The extended workflow increases attorney productivity and can help create better client deliverables.”
We’re told that VitalLaw AI will offer:
- 360 Feedback: The “editor-in the-loop” provides answers to commonly asked questions that have been pre-vetted by a Wolters Kluwer expert for accuracy. Outputs and user feedback are reviewed to enhance answers.
- Interactive Document Summarization: Upon completion of a search, customers can chat directly with VitalLaw content to generate executive summaries, create checklists, identify key points, and simplify complex legal terminology for communication with other important stakeholders.
Earlier this year, Wolters Kluwer unveiled the company’s dedicated AI center. The site centralizes the company’s latest AI-insights, research, and AI-driven information solutions in one accessible location, catering to professionals across critical sectors such as health, financial services, legal, ESG, risk, regulatory, and compliance.
