The company announced Gemini Enterprise for Legal, a suite of pre-built agents and skills.

Law firms have spent the past two years testing an alphabet soup of artificial intelligence tools.

Google is making a play for law firms with a new suite of tools built for the world's most scrupulous profession.

The company on Tuesday unveiled Gemini Enterprise for Legal, a bundle of pre-built Gemini skills and virtual assistants, known as agents, that can plug into the systems where a firm's data lives and carry out tasks.

Google and other tech companies are seeing dollar signs in the legal sector.

Since early this year, Anthropic has been courting lawyers with plugins for document review and drafting.

OpenAI is building out a legal software team led by Ironclad founder Jason Boehmig.

Microsoft also debuted a legal agent this year.

Law firms are under pressure from clients to move faster and show they're not billing associates for work that agents can do.

In-house legal teams are looking for ways to automate more work themselves, so they can send less to outside counsel and shrink their legal bills.

Google's suite of AI tools positions it as a central hub for that legal work.

Lawyers will be able to use Gemini Enterprise for Legal to review and negotiate contracts, track regulatory changes, and search case files and internal documents.
