AI Legal Assistant Announces Partnership & Integration with Actionstep

Delivering bi-directional integration that cuts document handling time by 65% and saves
lawyers 4-8 hours per week

SYDNEY, Australia, 26 November 2025 – AI Legal Assistant today announced a bi-
directional integration with Actionstep, the world’s first true cloud-based practice
management system. The integration delivers AI Legal Assistant’s document drafting
agentic AI experience as part of Actionstep’s document management and matter
management workflows.

The integration addresses a critical industry problem: legal professionals spend up to
75% of their billable time on document drafting and research tasks, constantly switching
between multiple systems and third-party tools. This task-switching and manual work
costs the industry an estimated $50 billion annually in lost productivity.

Proven Results

Early adopters of the integration with Actionstep report 4-8 hours of weekly time savings
per lawyer, translating to meaningful ROI within the first month. The integration allows
for seamless work between Actionstep and AI Legal Assistant which reduces document
drafting time by up to 65%.

“Last financial year, our firm’s billings increased by 35% over the year before. And we
had one less team member. And I think a large part of that is because of our use of AI.”
said David Chung, Director at Creo Legal.

Client response has been overwhelmingly positive. “We definitely have much better
turnaround times and much happier clients because we’re able to get to them quickly
with confidence without any compromise of quality, if anything, an improvement to
quality because you have somebody checking over your work almost at all times.” said
Daegan Leachman, Senior Associate at Creo Legal.

How It Works

The integrated solution combines AI Legal Assistant’s proprietary agentic AI framework with Actionstep’s proven cloud law firm operations platform, which serves over 45,000
legal professionals globally.

Unlike traditional AI tools that wait for commands, AI Legal Assistant analyses the
matter context, anticipates workflow needs, provides proactive assistance, suggests
relevant precedents, and streamlines even complex legal tasks.

“Legal professionals deserve technology that works as intelligently as they do,” said
Samuel Junghenn, CEO of AI Legal Assistant. “This integration eliminates the friction
that keeps lawyers from focusing on what matters most: serving their clients.”

Market Context

The bi-directional integration fundamentally changes how document drafting work is performed. Instead of toggling between multiple systems and manually transferring documents, users experience seamless workflows where AI anticipates next steps, organises information, and maintains consistency across all matter activities.

The solution addresses a market gap that traditional legal tech has struggled to solve: making AI genuinely useful for day-to-day legal work rather than a separate tool requiring additional learning and process changes.

“Our clients have been asking for AI that actually enhances their practice efficiency, not just another tool to learn,” said Kevin Day, Director of Partnerships – Australia/New Zealand at Actionstep. “This integration delivers sophisticated AI capabilities that feel natural and intuitive within their existing workflows.”

Availability

The integrated solution is available immediately to new and existing Actionstep customers across Australia and New Zealand, with England and Wales launching in Q4 2025. Implementation typically takes four hours with comprehensive training and support included.
