Seamlessly edit LawVu documents in Word Desktop

Based on your feedback, you can now open Word documents from LawVu directly in Microsoft Word Desktop for editing. A new action next to every .docx file lets you open it directly in Word Desktop. Once open, our add-in launches automatically, allowing you to save changes back to LawVu with one click. The add-in stays open if you want to make further edits and save again.

We’ve also added automatic version detection—if someone else edits the document while you have it open, you’ll get a warning to avoid losing changes.

Just click the three dots next to the document and select Edit in Word.

You’re also able to access the option to Edit in Word from the file preview:

Ready to get started?

Org admins can activate from the Microsoft Word listing on the "Integrations" page in LawVu. Simply click "Get started" to enable the feature on behalf of your organization.

We’re about to launch some exciting new features and we want to make sure you’re ready!

Workspace Intelligence: AI-powered workflows

LawVu’s latest AI features are about to go live! Seamlessly embedded into your product experience, these features are designed to help you get through core workflows faster, while maintaining the highest standards of security. Your data will remain secure and will never be used to train AI models. You can see a quick demo of these features now:

  • Key date extraction: Easily extract fixed and inferred key dates, so you can stay on top of obligations with less effort

  • Contract summaries: Spend less time scrolling, reading, and writing with quick contract summaries

  • Contract Q&A: Query contracts using natural language to instantly surface key terms, conditions, and insights—allowing you to conduct thorough contract analysis without tedious manual reviews

  • Matter manager suggestions: Get matters from your intake queue to the right people faster, with recommendations based on past patterns and current workload

Please note: The new standard AI features are free for customers on the Essentials, Ultimate, and Matters plan. If you’re unsure which plan you’re on, contact your Customer Success Manager.

Once available, your LawVu admins will receive a notification, allowing them to activate the new features for you to use. We expect this to happen in the next few weeks and can’t wait to hear what you think!

File access for standard users

Enhanced file access for Standard users is coming soon! These improvements streamline document management and collaboration with business users, making the process faster and more efficient—all while maintaining the robust security you trust.

Here's how everyone gets more visibility and control:

  • Standard users can now preview, access and collaborate on files they upload or are granted access to

  • Legal can use a three tiered approach to choose what level of access to files any user has

  • Any user can browse files through matter or contract previews in the Business Portal or legal workspace

Once these enhancements go live, your LawVu admins will be notified, and in-app launch guides will highlight the new features. As always, we look forward to hearing your feedback!

AI has been proven valuable in reducing time-consuming administrative tasks, significantly improving efficiency, and giving more valuable time back for strategic work. Join this workshop to go beyond the guides and explore proven use cases, see AI in action, and get practical tactics for safe adoption that have a real impact on your team.

Join us on March 13th at 11am PDT / 2pm EDT to learn about:

  • A variety of ways AI can help with different legal workflows you face on a daily basis

  • Models to help you prioritize and evaluate the safety and impact of AI for specific use cases
