Market Context

Before the GenAI wave, Litera was the dominant name in legal document tools — Compare and DocXtools are effectively ubiquitous in BigLaw. The Litera One strategy is about retaining that position by integrating AI into workflows lawyers already use, rather than asking them to switch to new tools. IDC research cited by Litera found professionals spend an average of 20 hours per week manually searching for and gathering information.

Lito and the July 2026 relaunch

Litera relaunched its brand on 15 July 2026 around a single positioning: one AI agent — Lito — across its portfolio, with products consolidated into three pillars (practice, manage, grow), a new identity and a redesigned site. Independent coverage (LawSites, 15 Jul 2026) characterised the relaunch as a consolidation of messaging fragmented by years of acquisitions rather than a product pivot.

Lito is Litera’s legal AI agent, offered at no additional cost inside core products. Vendor-reported figures, not independently verified: 70% of active Litera One accounts use Lito; 10x user growth in the three months after launch; 15,000+ customers; 1 million daily users; 99% of the Am Law 100. CEO: Avaneesh Marwaha (returned to the role October 2024). A next version of Lito was slated for ILTACON 2026.
