List of AI Tools for Legal Practice
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the way lawyers handle everyday work, including drafting, research, review, and compliance. To help legal professionals see how these tools fit into different aspects of practice, Amicus GO has compiled a matrix of AI tools organised by use case.
How the Matrix Is Organised
The matrix lists a selection of AI tools currently used or explored by legal professionals. Instead of ranking or rating them, we’ve grouped them according to their main use cases in legal practice:
- General Drafting & Summarisation: Tools that help generate, edit, or summarise legal text.
- Legal Research & Q&A: Tools designed to search case law, legislation, and legal commentary.
- Contract Review & Analysis: Platforms that assist with drafting, reviewing, or comparing contracts.
- Litigation Support & Compliance: Tools supporting discovery, compliance reviews, and evidence management.
- Document Q&A & Knowledge Extraction: Tools that allow you to upload documents and query them directly.
- Practice Support / Productivity: AI assistants and productivity tools that streamline workflows.
Each tool is listed (in alphabetical order) alongside these categories to show where it fits within a lawyer’s workflow. For instance, Thomson Reuters CoCounsel and Harvey AI appear in multiple categories because they perform several functions. Lawdify, meanwhile, focuses primarily on drafting, contract review, and general productivity.

Why This Matrix Matters
The legal technology landscape is expanding quickly. New tools appear almost every week, many combining features that overlap across categories. This matrix helps lawyers visualise where different tools might support their work. This list are not endorsements but a starting point for your own exploration and learning.
A Work in Progress
This matrix is not exhaustive, and it never will be. The AI space evolves too quickly for any single list to capture it all. We plan to update this matrix regularly as new tools emerge and as existing platforms evolve their capabilities.
If you know of a tool that should be included or updated, we welcome your feedback. Our goal is to keep this resource relevant and useful to the legal community.
