LawToolBox Leverages Microsoft Copilot to Analyze Content Shared in Microsoft Teams Meetings

LawToolBox will expand on the new capabilities in Microsoft Copilot to allow legal professionals to use natural language to chat and interact with the LawToolBox Copilot.

DENVER and CHICAGO, Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- LawToolBox, http://www.lawtoolbox.com the first legal app certified to work with Microsoft 365 Copilot, today announced that legal professionals can now use natural language to chat with the LawToolBox Copilot for Legal inside a Microsoft Teams (Teams) meeting, expanding the interactive capabilities between Microsoft 365 Copilot and LawToolBox for deadlines and legal matters. This functionality provides a more intuitive and richer AI-driven experience for legal professionals, allowing them to quickly access important details about matters, and ultimately serving clients with greater efficiency.

"During the conference this week, Microsoft announced that its copilot will now source responses from meeting chat and transcripts in Teams meetings, so attendees don't miss critical details that are visually shared or discussed," said Carol-Lynn Grow, co-founder and COO of LawToolBox. "We are amplifying this new functionality with the ability to invoke the LawToolBox Copilot as an interactive attendee directly within the workflow of a Teams meeting."

Using a new interactive chat, legal professionals can converse with the LawToolBox Copilot, asking questions about details that other team members either spoke, or shared on-screen during a Teams meeting, and then ground that question in the matters and deadlines created by LawToolBox. For example:

    --  Attorneys reviewing a deposition plan in a Teams meeting can ask, "Hey
        LawToolBox Copilot, can you tell us all the deposition deadlines in the
        next month?"

Instead of legal professionals asking generic questions to Microsoft 365 Copilot and being limited by the data in their Microsoft account, the LawToolBox Copilot securely combines Microsoft account data with LawToolBox matters and deadlines. This allows legal teams to ask questions and get AI-powered responses that are specific to their cases, deadlines and workflow. The new functionality allows LawToolBox Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot to work together as thought partners for the legal organization, aggregating information from Teams meetings with deadlines and matter information from LawToolBox. This is useful for any law professional, but especially corporate and government legal departments, handling large volumes of clients and matters, and using AI copilot solution anchored in legal.

"We continue to enhance the LawToolBox Copilot as part of our mission to integrate seamlessly with the Microsoft ecosystem, and build on our partnership to deliver secure, responsible, and innovative Microsoft-based solutions expressly for the legal industry," concluded Grow. "The new Copilot user experience has become even more powerful, with the ability to analyze on-screen content, and we are empowering legal professionals to leverage this innovation by activating LawToolBox directly within Teams, anchoring the Microsoft 365 Copilot experience with matters and deadlines managed by LawToolBox."

The LawToolBox partnership with Microsoft bridges the gap between Microsoft 365 Copilot and legal matters. Specifically, LawToolBox for Microsoft 365 and LawToolBox Copilot are built to leverage the latest Microsoft enhancements, especially features added to Microsoft 365 Copilot. Legal professionals benefit from anchoring Copilot in Legal, as LawToolBox automates the process of creating deadlines in calendars and a matter calendar in Microsoft 365 that is activated from legal billing or document management solutions like iManage or NetDocuments. Alternatively, organizations can use connectors like Microsoft Logic Apps to securely connect their data as the source-of-truth through the LawToolBox API.
