As a pioneer in AI-powered contract lifecycle management, we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in legal technology while keeping human judgment at the center of everything we build. Today, we’re thrilled to announce our newest innovation: Ironclad Jurist, a conversational AI legal assistant that’s transforming how legal professionals work.
Built on our open-source visual programming platform Rivet, Jurist isn’t just another AI assistant—it’s a purpose-built tool that brings unprecedented transparency to AI-assisted legal work. By leveraging multiple top-tier large language models (LLMs) and sophisticated retrieval automation generation (RAG), Jurist delivers the AI workspace lawyers have been waiting for.
A New Way to Work
What makes Jurist special? It’s the first AI assistant that gives legal professionals everything they need in one single interface. Whether you’re drafting contracts, reviewing mutual non-disclosure agreements (MNDAs), or researching recent legislation, Jurist provides a seamless workspace where legal professionals can create, edit, and iterate—all within a native .docx environment.
“Jurist has already eliminated hours of manual review from our document review process,” shares Katelyn Canning, Director and Head of Legal at Ocrolus. “Its intuitive interface lets us easily define our own parameters, transforming tasks like NDA reviews into a streamlined workflow.”
Peeking Under the Hood
But Jurist isn’t just about speed—it’s about confidence. Unlike other AI assistants that operate as black boxes, Jurist shows you exactly how it reaches its conclusions. Through our multi-agent technology, you can see the reasoning behind each decision, complete with citations from industry-trusted sources like FindLaw.com, EUR-Lex, and Oyez.org.
“Using Jurist has helped give us a singular workplace to drastically speed up many kinds of legal work,” says Zuhair Saadat, Contracts Manager at Signifyd. “For example, performing an MNDA review or drafting custom clauses for an order form typically takes an hour to a day. Using Jurist, we could do this in minutes—in some cases seconds—depending on complexity.”

“When building Jurist, we wanted to create something that was congruent with the ways that lawyers are already working—something we noticed other assistants just weren’t delivering,” explains Michel Feaster, our Chief Product Officer. “Lawyers need to be able to edit in real-time in one place—so we made the outputs from Jurist fully editable. Lawyers need to be able to ask questions about specific parts of a contract—so we let users highlight text and prompt that specific text.”
Legal’s new road
The launch of Jurist represents more than just a new product—it’s a step toward democratizing advanced legal technology. “We’ve released Jurist as a standalone product because we feel this will benefit the entire legal community—whether they already use Ironclad or not,” says Jeremy Smith, Ironclad President.
After a successful five-month early access program with leading organizations like AES, Signifyd, Gunderson Dettmer, and Ocrulus, Jurist is now available to all legal professionals.
