With Four New Legal AI Partnerships and Integrations, Everlaw Establishes Itself as the Evidence Layer for Litigation and Investigations

OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 25, 2026--

Everlaw, the AI-powered litigation and investigations platform, today announced strategic partnerships with Thomson Reuters CoCounsel Legal and Harvey, along with MCP connectors for Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise for Legal and Microsoft 365 Copilot. The integrations expand the ways legal teams can use the AI tools they choose while keeping Everlaw as their trusted, governed evidence foundation.

As legal professionals turn to a growing range of general-purpose and legal-specific AI tools, many still lack a defensible way to connect those tools to evidence when managing litigation or conducting internal investigations. Evidence is too sensitive, complex, and consequential to move casually into disconnected systems, where teams risk losing critical permissions, matter context, and auditability.

These new integrations allow users of Everlaw to securely access their documents, data, and advanced Everlaw capabilities while conducting work in partner platforms. For example, a Harvey and Everlaw user can instantly search millions of documents and metadata to extract insights and uncover case-critical details, a Copilot and Everlaw user can draft deposition questions using facts organized in Everlaw, and users of the other integrated platforms can do the same in their respective environments.

Everlaw’s expanding AI ecosystem gives legal teams more choice. Across the integrations, lawyers can ask natural language prompts to understand their case, analyze evidence and metadata, generate early case insights, and plan multi-step research—all while Everlaw remains the governed system of record for the underlying evidence, permissions, and audit trail.

“As legal teams adopt more AI tools for litigations and investigations, that intelligence needs to be informed by a matter's context and evidence," said AJ Shankar, Founder and CEO of Everlaw. "Litigation data is too complex for a single silver bullet. Our growing integration ecosystem gives customers the freedom to connect their AI tools to powerful Everlaw capabilities and the underlying evidentiary record. Everlaw's search, analytics, entity extraction, clustering, and communication analysis help narrow vast document collections to the evidence that matters, giving AI agents the context they need to deliver useful results."

The newly announced partnerships and integrations include:

Everlaw provides the platform and advanced analytic capabilities that help legal teams turn vast amounts of litigation and investigation data into effective case strategy. Its partners provide additional AI environments for synthesis, research, analysis, and work-product creation. Connecting the two layers helps teams move from raw data to insight and action more quickly, without compromising the governance framework high-stakes legal work requires.

“As our team expands its use of AI tools, we’re excited about the opportunity to connect the platforms we use directly to Everlaw,” said Julie Brown, Director of Practice Technology at Vorys. “Giving teams the flexibility to work with the AI tools that best fit their needs—while keeping those tools grounded in Everlaw—can help us get oriented to matters faster, surface important facts earlier, and generate insights with confidence in the underlying record.”

This announcement advances Everlaw’s broader approach to AI interoperability: legal teams should be able to work with the tools they prefer without moving sensitive evidence into disconnected systems or compromising the controls legal work demands. It builds on Everlaw’s previously announced work with Claude for Legal and its strategic partnership with Legora.

The integrations mark another step in bringing the power of Everlaw everywhere legal work gets done, while keeping the evidence itself in the platform built to manage it. More information about these partnerships and integrations is available here.

GENEVA (AP) — The United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross on Tuesday ratcheted up a joint call for countries to adopt bans and restrictions on use of autonomous weapons systems — often known as “killer robots” — warning that “the risks have intensified.”

Building on an initial appeal three years ago and international talks on the issue for years, the appeal stops short of calling for a blanket ban, but notes that such weapons systems are being developed — though the U.N. and Red Cross haven't confirmed their use on the battlefield.

The organizations said, however, that civilians need to be protected for when that day may come.

“We are now dangerously close to crossing a moral red line: The autonomous targeting of humans by machines,” said U.N. Geneva spokesperson Alessandra Vellucci, reading a joint statement by U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres and ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric.

“Today, we renew this call with even greater urgency,” the statement said. “The fundamental concerns remain unchanged, but the risks have intensified.”

The two international organizations say the development of weapons technology at “record speed” has strained the international rules system, and widened the gap between technological capacities and regulatory constraints.

“Autonomous weapons systems are not part of a distant future — a race toward greater autonomy in weapons systems is already well underway,” the joint statement said.

The call comes as negotiators are set to meet in Geneva in November on ways of strengthening the existing Convention on Conventional Weapons, with the U.N. and ICRC saying the conference “offers the clearest path available” to move toward binding legal rules on the use of such autonomous systems.

The yearslong effort to rein in the use of autonomous weapons systems has struggled to produce limits. The new push comes against the backdrop of drones and other technologies used in conflicts as diverse as the Russia-Ukraine war, the Middle East, Sudan and others.

Ground robotic vehicles have so far been used on the Ukrainian battlefield primarily to ferry supplies to infantry and carry out evacuations, because of Ukraine’s need to preserve manpower amid the growing prevalence of drones.

Kyiv is now seeking to scale up armed robotic systems to reduce the pressure on increasingly outnumbered infantry by equipping them with firing power, but those efforts have been limited so far.

“Scientists and engineers developing these systems have themselves raised the alarm,” the organizations said. “When the architects of this technology are calling for limits, states cannot afford to remain passive.”

“This year must mark a turning point,” the statement said.
