LawY combines the efficiency of AI technology with the precision of human expertise
This article was produced in partnership with LEAP Legal Software.
LEAP Legal Software is leading the charge in AI innovation, and the recent launch of LawY—Canada’s trusted AI Legal Assistant—showcases the company’s commitment to that mission.
In line with LEAP’s product development approach, this cutting-edge AI tool for lawyers was created with great consideration for privacy and data security, providing peace of mind to its users and setting LawY apart as a uniquely trustworthy solution in the realm of legal AI.
From outlining legal principles, writing letters to clients and opposing counsel, summarizing cases to caselaw research around legal topics, and writing articles for law firm websites — LawY is built for lawyers. Exceeding the expectations of other AI products such as ChatGPT, LEAP’s AI assistant relies on a unique combination of four elements to provide an efficient and useful product that is tailored to lawyers’ needs — and speaks to the responsible development of the product.
First, LawY pulls from a proprietary database that is continuously expanding and specifically captures legal knowledge relevant to small- and medium-sized firms. Second, LawY has invested considerable efforts on prompt engineering which provides granular guidance when searching for and constructing answers. Third, LawY is committed to the responsible use of AI in the legal profession, demonstrated in the ability for each AI-generated answer to be verified by an experienced, local lawyer.
“As the world leader in legal technology, LEAP has recognized the need to build responsible AI, and with this new innovation we are multiplying the efficiency and productivity of law firms,” says Malcolm Muthulingum, CEO of LEAP Canada. “Using LEAP with LawY will ensure law firms remain ahead of the AI curve, while making more money without increasing resources.”
This verification process offers peace of mind that the instant AI answer is not only provided quickly but can also be vetted. “This seamless blend of cutting-edge AI and human expertise is at the heart of our service,” says Edyta Matukas, Head of Canada for LawY. “We ensure that the information provided is not only quick but also of the highest quality.”
The final element is the agnostic design of LawY, with its ability to switch to any other large language model as the AI landscape evolves — whether the change is today, tomorrow, or years from now.
Like all of LEAP’s products, LawY’s is designed to be incredibly intuitive and user-friendly, but it’s more than that: it’s a gamechanger to Canadian lawyers.
"We recognize that the integration of AI into legal practices is about more than just efficiency; it's about enhancing the quality of legal advice and the speed of service delivery,” asserts Brice Lechatellier, CEO of LawY. “LawY is built from the ground up to address these needs, making it not just a tool, but a partner in practice."
LawY is ready to elevate your LEAP experience. The partnership is particularly exciting because of the synergy between the powerful products. While LEAP’s legal practice management system focuses on streamlining operational aspects of legal practices, LawY enhances the actual practice of law itself. This collaboration means that LEAP users can benefit from a comprehensive, integrated solution that addresses both the practical and legal aspects of the practice of law.
