Google expanded its Gemini Enterprise AI platform on Tuesday with new tools for lawyers and law firms, accelerating a race among technology companies to meet legal sector demand for AI.
The company said its Gemini Enterprise for Legal would help law firms use AI to manage routine and complex work, allowing lawyers to focus on higher-value services while keeping data secure and confidential. The new plug-in for Gemini Enterprise includes integration with legal software and data platforms, along with AI agents that Google said can handle specialized legal and administrative functions without significant human oversight.
Alphabet launched Gemini Enterprise for business customers in October in a bid to attract more corporate clients with its AI offerings, and Google Cloud has become one of Alphabet's fastest-growing businesses. In addition to legal, Google said Tuesday it was unveiling industry tools for the financial services sector and would later roll out other industry-specific offerings.
Rival AI companies including Anthropic have also expanded their enterprise offerings in recent months, including in the legal sector. A 2026 report on the legal industry's AI adoption from Deloitte found that law firms are investing heavily in the technology as part of a transformation still in its early stages. Law firms are rapidly adopting generative AI tools that can assist with legal research, draft filings and perform other legal tasks, with many also using AI for business operations such as client and case management to cut costs and improve efficiency.
Some large law firms have formed strategic partnerships with AI providers and, in some instances, are building their own AI platforms. Google said Weil Gotshal, Cleary Gottlieb, Freshfields and Williams & Connolly are among a group of firms collaborating with it on Gemini Enterprise for Legal.
