Litigation lawyers know the feeling all too well: facing a stack of disclosure documents, affidavits, pleadings, and lengthy deposition and trial transcripts. Hours—even days—are lost meticulously combing through each page, extracting key details, and cross-checking for accuracy. The pressure mounts, knowing any oversight could jeopardize the outcome of their case.
Many litigators have turned to generative AI tools to tackle this burden, but quickly encountered fundamental problems. Generic AI assistants often produce results without clear, verifiable sources, leaving lawyers unsure of the accuracy. Frustrated by opaque and unreliable outputs, many revert to manual review—losing faith in AI’s potential altogether.
LexChat directly solves this critical gap, putting trust and verification at the core of AI-assisted document review and seamlessly integrating within the drafting workflows lawyers already rely on.
The core problem with current AI tools
A fundamental problem litigators face with most generative AI tools is the lack of traceability and reliability. Traditional AI chatbots may quickly summarize or answer questions from PDF document sets, but lawyers can't easily verify if these responses accurately reflect the source material. Without precise citations or clear linkages to the relevant passages within the original documents, litigators must painstakingly double-check each AI-produced statement manually, negating the very efficiency gains promised by automation.
Additionally, standard AI tools struggle significantly when faced with complex, messy PDFs frequently found in litigation—documents with poor scans, multi-column layouts, handwritten notes, and inconsistent formatting. Independent benchmarking confirms these challenges, showing that typical generative AI tools tested on litigation workflows with poor-quality documents can yield accuracy rates below 60%. The results are unreliable, inconsistent, and often unusable in high-stakes litigation.
These shortcomings present real professional risks. Lawyers risk breaching their ethical duties to both clients and courts if they rely upon AI outputs that produce incorrect citations or outright “hallucinations.” The consequences—malpractice claims, court sanctions, reputational harm—can be severe and lasting.
Introducing LexChat: Fact-check your AI, instantly
LexChat is an intuitive AI-powered assistant designed specifically to address these exact concerns. Rather than merely summarizing documents or producing general answers, LexChat allows litigators to interact conversationally with their own uploaded case documents and generates structured, meticulously cited answers.
Unlike general-purpose chatbots, LexChat uniquely provides explicit, excerpt-level source citations linked directly to the original document passages. With every AI-generated response, lawyers can immediately:
- Review and verify each response with specific, excerpted passages.
- Click through instantly to the exact cited locations within the source document.
- Insert selected, fully cited excerpts directly into their legal briefs and memos with just one click.
This structured verification feature directly addresses lawyers’ primary barrier to AI adoption: trust. LexChat transforms AI from an opaque "black box" into a transparent, reliable drafting assistant.
LexChat in action: Real-world use case
Scott Foster, co-founder of LexSelect and a seasoned IP litigator, recently demonstrated LexChat’s value first-hand. Presented with opposing counsel's extensive motion brief package, he tasked LexChat with generating an event chronology. What traditionally would have taken him four or five hours of meticulous manual review and cross-referencing, LexChat completed within minutes.
The result: an immediate, tangible 60× efficiency gain.
Beyond time savings, this allowed Scott to redirect his focus towards complex analysis, strategic preparation, and high-value advocacy—activities at the core of effective litigation practice. LexChat’s verified outputs provided Scott full confidence in the accuracy of his submissions, without manual re-verification.
Seamless end-to-end workflow integration
LexChat is fully integrated into the Microsoft Word environment, offering a unified workspace for litigation drafting and document review:
- Upload and access documents directly within Word—no toggling between multiple applications.
- Pose conversational queries directly within your Word drafting environment and instantly receive structured, verifiable results.
- Insert AI-generated excerpts into your draft document with one click, preserving perfect citation formatting consistent with your document's style.
This seamless integration reduces distractions, maintains workflow continuity, and significantly improves productivity.
Furthermore, LexChat delivers premium features typically associated with high-cost enterprise AI solutions priced above US$300 per month—yet at a dramatically lower price point of US$50 per user per month. This compelling cost-effectiveness provides exceptional value, particularly for small-to-medium litigation firms.
Under the hood: Structured data drives reliable results
LexChat’s unmatched reliability and precision stem from LexSelect’s proprietary structured parsing engine, specifically optimized to tackle the complex, unstructured PDFs common in litigation.
Independent benchmarking, such as the Vals Legal AI Report (VLAIR), illustrates the stark contrast in performance between structured and unstructured approaches. Typical generative AI tools tested on complex litigation workflows with poor quality documents pushed accuracy rates below 60%. In contrast, LexChat’s structured parsing has consistently demonstrated in internal evaluations accuracy levels exceeding 95% with messy, unstructured PDFs.
This structural advantage ensures litigators receive consistently verifiable outputs, overcoming skepticism and addressing the trust gap common with other generative AI solutions.
Conclusion: LexChat—setting a new standard in legal AI
LexChat fundamentally resolves the primary barrier to AI adoption in litigation—trust and verifiability. It empowers lawyers not merely to automate routine document review tasks, but to confidently rely on AI-generated content even in high-stakes submissions.
Crucially, LexChat is designed to complement—not replace—legal judgment. By pairing AI-driven efficiency with rigorous verification, LexChat sets a new standard for accuracy, reliability, and seamless integration into daily legal practice.
