Google expands Gemini AI platform for law firms, lawyers

Google on Tuesday widened the Gemini Enterprise AI platform by adding legal tools, as reported by Business Recorder. According to the company, the product helps firms handle routine and complex matters so lawyers can concentrate on higher-value services, while data stays protected and private. The launch comes as technology firms compete to serve a legal sector that is eager to adopt AI.

The add-on connects with legal software and data platforms and includes AI agents that Google says can handle specialised legal and administrative work with little human supervision. Alphabet rolled out Gemini Enterprise for corporate users in October to win more business clients, and Google Cloud now ranks among its quickest growing units. Thomson Reuters, owner of Reuters and the Westlaw research database, is also competing for legal industry business, having unveiled a model called Thomson 1.0 on Monday.

Google said its offering will link directly and securely with other legal technology platforms, including those from Thomson Reuters, Harvey and LexisNexis. Several large firms, among them Weil Gotshal, Cleary Gottlieb, Freshfields and Williams & Connolly, are working with Google on the product. Deloitte's 2026 study said firms are pouring money into the technology, although the shift remains at an early stage.
