The difference between AI hype and AI-native legal ops is right here.
Legal departments are under pressure: workloads are rising, resources are not keeping pace, and burnout is real. But not every AI solution solves these challenges. Many are just chatbots in disguise, leaving you with rigid templates, black box recommendations, and no accountability.
From invoice review speeds up to 77x faster, to cost savings of 99.97% compared with manual review, the advantage is clear.
Unity gives your team the flexibility to scale on your terms, with agents that cut spend review time, match the right counsel in minutes, and automate workflows without changing the way you work.
