As reported elsewhere, vLex, a legal research and database provider, recently announced significant enhancements to its AI tool, Vincent. These upgrades are designed to provide lawyers and legal professionals with enhanced practical solutions, address knowledge gaps, and offer valuable insights.

With the release, vLex is offering significant new workflows. The new features will be particularly helpful for litigators.

The new enhancements seem to be consistent with this approach.Continue Reading Practical AI for Litigators: Vincent is Closing Knowledge Gaps
