Callidus Legal AI Launches New Workflow Platform
Callidus Legal AI, the AI platform that automates and accelerates core legal workflows, has announced its most advanced legal research and drafting system, powered by proprietary engineering, agentic AI, and a fully integrated US case law database.
AI is transforming industries, and legal work is particularly susceptible to disruption. Goldman Sachs estimates that AI could ultimately automate 44% of legal tasks. However, over a third of litigation outcomes depend on deep legal understanding, especially in research and drafting, where shallow, chatbot-style AI falls short.
Leveraging partnerships to gather over ten million US legal cases, Callidus has spent the last year building specialised agents to enrich this database with detailed metadata, case summaries, and issue-based tagging in a way that is designed for high-precision retrieval and research in an AI-driven environment.
"Legal reasoning is highly nuanced; you can't do anything valuable in litigation until you understand the law, and to do that in an automated way, you need both a deeply engineered agentic AI middle-layer and a comprehensive case database," said Justin McCallon, CEO and Co-Founder of Callidus Legal AI.
"While other companies are adding features to legacy platforms, Callidus is reimagining the entire platform from the ground up. Our platform is built for the AI-native legal world. It doesn't just answer questions, it thinks like a lawyer while synthesising high volumes of text-based data."
By building its own case law database and engineering powerful retrieval systems, Callidus can add the most critical chess piece to its legal research system and provide comprehensive and extensive case suggestions for every element in a new matter. The highly visual and interactive Callidus research system keeps the lawyer in the loop, with the AI synthesising robust data and the lawyer making strategic decisions, ultimately reducing a typical week-long task to just ten minutes, covering around 85% of the required work.
From there, the lawyer can polish the full litigation outlines and extensive litigation draft document outputs with other Callidus tools, integrated with Microsoft Word, to prepare final versions for court submission.
