Litera Partners with Midpage to Embed Legal Research in Legal Agent Lito

NEW YORK - March 9, 2026 - PRLog -- Litera (https://www.litera.com/?utm_source=media&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=2024-03_pr_pr%20parent%20tracking%20campaign), a global leader in legal AI technology solutions, announced an integration with Midpage (https://www.midpage.ai/), an AI-powered legal research platform trusted by 200+ law firms, to bring U.S. case law and statutes directly into Lito (https://www.litera.com/products/lito), Litera's award-winning AI legal agent. The integration makes Lito the first legal AI assistant to combine advanced generative AI capabilities, deterministic rules-based engines, proprietary firm intelligence, and now Midpage's industry-leading legal research — all within the Microsoft 365 environment where lawyers already work. In conjunction with the announcement, Litera is sharing new internal benchmark research at Legalweek examining how general-purpose large language models perform on complex legal redlining tasks compared to purpose-built legal comparison technology.

"Every legal AI tool has access to the same foundation models," said Adam Ryan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamryanadvisory/), Chief Product Officer at Litera. "The difference is what surrounds them. Lito combines the best large language models with our rules-based engines, cutting edge firm intelligence data, and now deep legal research — all integrated where lawyers already work."

The Midpage integration will deliver U.S. statutes and case law to Lito, adding to this powerful legal drafting environment and further expanding Litera's ecosystem of more than 60 integrations, including NetDocuments, iManage, Courtroom Insight, and UniCourt. By embedding trusted legal research sources within Lito, Litera continues to deepen the intelligence available directly inside everyday workflows.

Through the Lito chat experience, users can select U.S. statutes or case law as sources to query against a document or a specific legal question. Practical use cases include checking whether an agreement complies with a particular statute, uploading a document alongside relevant legal authority for contextual analysis, or generating a case summary to share with clients — all without leaving Word or Outlook. Lito users on Litera One (https://www.litera.com/litera-one) cloud packages will have access to legal research capabilities through this integration, with options to expand usage through a Midpage subscription.

"Navigating case law has historically been so complex that it was really only done for complex litigation," said Otto von Zastrow (https://www.linkedin.com/in/otto-von-zastrow-631b74113/), CEO of Midpage. "AI agents give every attorney the power of a big legal research team. The agent reads hundreds of cases and finds on-point precedents with quotes and hyperlinks. We're glad to bring this to tools like Lito that already have access to your documents and important context."
