Lawyers on Demand and Wordsmith Partner to Help In-House Teams 

LOD’s partnership with Wordsmith aims to make AI practical for legal teams by integrating it directly into existing workflows through a managed service model, rather than using it as a separate tool.

By combining LOD’s legal professionals, governance expertise, and management of legal work with Wordsmith’s AI-powered workflow platform, in-house legal teams can handle growing workloads more efficiently without increasing staff or losing oversight.

While AI can automate many legal tasks, many organizations find it difficult to implement and manage the technology in a way that fits their existing processes and risk requirements.

As part of the service, Consilio provides technology consulting, implementation support, and ongoing optimization to help clients use Wordsmith effectively and improve results over time. Insights from real-world deployments will also help Wordsmith continue enhancing its platform for enterprise customers.

A three-month pilot across multiple legal teams and workflows showed improvements in efficiency, faster turnaround times and increased contract-handling capacity. The results highlighted the benefits of combining experienced legal professionals with AI powered tools to help in-house teams manage growing workloads while maintaining quality, consistency, and control.

“Legal AI needs to work inside real operating models,” said Ross McNairn, CEO of Wordsmith. “Partnering with Lawyers On Demand and Consilio allows Wordsmith to be deployed as part of a managed service, while benefiting from deep delivery and technology expertise.”
