Following a survey conducted earlier this month, global knowledge management group Skills.law has unveiled its 15 most recommended legal AI vendors, with Swiss-founded AI startup DeepJudge coming out on top of the list.
The survey named just over 40 legal tech providers and also gave those completing the survey the option to rank other unnamed legal AI vendors of their choice. The prescribed list included many, albeit not all of the established legal tech document management, practice management and legal research vendors.
Skills.law asked how likely the individual taking the survey is to recommend the vendors to a friend or colleague. All responses were anonymised and aggregated. Only entries from major law firms were accepted, because as a body Skills.law focuses on the interests of the largest global firms firms. Of around 200 entries received, 50 were not from major firms and discounted, while 50 were from at individuals at firms that had already cast a vote, with their votes averaged out so that each firm got one vote (so as not to skew results if a vendor had a bad experience at a particular firm). The total number of votes counted was around 100.
The most recommended legal AI vendors according to the April 2025 Skills.law survey are:
- DeepJudge
- Centari
- Syntheia
- Lega
- SimplyAgree
- Avvoka
- vLex
- DraftWise
- Vable
- Legora
- Jigsaw
- Relativity
- Josef
- Definely
- StructureFlow
Oz Benamram, the founder of SKILLS and former chief knowledge manager at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, said: “We recently started to invite legal AI vendors to give workshops to the Skills community — not product demos or sales pitches, but educational seminars that deal with the challenges we face in the AI journey — and we are excited to collaborate with the AI vendors to bring value to our ultimate clients. The survey is a tool further to connect the buyers and sellers of legal AI products to ensure we all focus together on that goal.”
In early 2025, over 100 Skills.law members filled out a detailed survey, sharing feedback on the products their firms explore, pilot and use in various legal AI use cases. The results of the most commonly used legal AI solutions feature weekly on LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/eq6UzyG5
