AI in the legal sector - for greater efficiency and productivity
What are the advantages and areas of application of generative AI in the legal sector?
In order to take advantage of the efficiency and productivity benefits of AI in the legal sector, it is important to consider the potential areas of application.
What advantages does generative AI offer in the legal sector?
Increased efficiency of legal processes
Processes can be significantly optimized with generative AI. For example, the creation of documents can be automated or legal research accelerated. This allows employees to concentrate on more complex cases.
Increased productivity for standard tasks
Employees are relieved of routine tasks and have more time for more demanding activities. Generative AI thus enables a broader range of tasks and contributes to greater employee satisfaction.
Better performance and quality in the handling of legal issues
Companies can significantly improve the quality of their internal legal matters. Generative AI automates routine tasks, optimizes workflows and increases performance, which also boosts performance for external customer inquiries.
What are classic challenges in the legal sector?
Time-intensive processing of documents
Creating and managing large volumes of documents (e.g. contracts) requires a lot of time and resources, which affects the efficiency of the legal department and can lead to delays.
Difficulties in obtaining information
Conducting legal research manually is time-consuming and can make it difficult to access up-to-date and relevant information, which delays decision-making.
Complexity of compliance requirements
Monitoring and complying with legal regulations and internal guidelines is challenging and carries the risk of legal and financial consequences in the event of non-compliance.
High volume of routine requests
Companies with a large number of customers have to deal with numerous and recurring inquiries. The number of inquiries makes it difficult to process them promptly and impairs the quality of service.

What are possible AI applications in the legal sector?
Automated contract creation
Generative AI can be used to automatically create contracts. Standard clauses are combined with user-defined requirements to create customized documents.
Review and analysis of documents
By using generative AI, large volumes of documents can be analyzed to identify inconsistencies or missing information. This frees up resources that can be used for more complex topics.
Legal research and case analysis
When conducting research, relevant cases, laws and precedents can be identified and summarized in order to create a sound basis for decision-making. Generative AI plays a decisive role here by making the relevant processes more efficient.
Monitoring of compliance guidelines
By using generative AI, legal changes and compliance requirements can be monitored continuously and automatically, helping companies to adapt their internal guidelines accordingly.
Risk assessment
Contracts or compliance data can be analyzed to identify and assess potential legal risks. Generative AI supports this process so that companies can take proactive measures to minimize risks.
Virtual legal advice
Chatbots and virtual assistants based on generative AI can answer basic legal questions and provide initial advice to reduce the workload of employees.
