Revolutionise Your legal practice with Peppermint's AI Copilot, LARA!
We’ve engineered an innovative solution to transform the legal profession: Peppermint’s own “Legal Analysis and Research Assistant” or LARA for short.
LARA is more than just a tool; it's a sophisticated AI copilot seamlessly integrated into our suite of applications, supporting Microsoft 365 Copilot, and designed to boost productivity and streamline workflows for legal professionals.
Revolutionising Legal Workflows
LARA stands as a groundbreaking AI assistant, tailored specifically for lawyers. It empowers legal professionals to deliver superior client experiences, optimise operational processes, and, crucially, free up valuable time for tasks requiring their specialised expertise.
Our goal with LARA is to make data effortlessly accessible within the flow of work in Outlook, Teams, Word, and other applications. By simplifying information retrieval for daily tasks, LARA ensures lawyers can quickly access high-quality data, enhancing the overall value provided to clients. Imagine asking, "What was the most recent bill I sent to the client?" or "Can you give me details about my relationship with John Smith?" and receiving accurate and comprehensive answers within seconds.
This simplicity in querying and response is the cornerstone of our AI solution, demonstrating its ability to understand and respond efficiently. Previously, this would have required time-consuming hunting and switching applications to look up the data and then digest it into something that makes sense.
LARA uses the Azure OpenAI service and grounds information without learning from it, ensuring that information remains confidential. We supply the legal and domain understanding to ground the request from business data that you can view, generating an answer to your query. This information is communicated and accessible throughout our product portfolio and our Peppermint Connect interfaces within the Microsoft 365 suite, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Lawyers often juggle multiple applications and search through vast amounts of data, consuming time better spent on client-focused work. LARA eliminates this hassle, providing instant access to case information, client relationship statuses, and more with a simple question, responding directly either with Microsoft Copilot or in the Peppermint Connect user interface.
Email / Document Drafting and Reviewing

LARA leverages the extensive content within law firms to make information more discoverable and usable. It consolidates existing data to assist lawyers with tasks, comprehending emails, and aiding in drafting responses. With just a few clicks, LARA can understand the intent of the email and help create actionable tasks, significantly improving efficiency.
Training and Development
Through our collaboration with Microsoft on the SharePoint Embedded team, we're revolutionising document handling. By automating and effectively attributing documents, LARA enhances discoverability and operational efficiency. Our use of semantic search and AI context within documents ensures a user-friendly experience, automating processes involving key parties and dates without manual intervention. This seamless integration reassures smooth implementation, saving lawyers precious time and enhancing overall firm efficiency.
A Commitment to Responsible AI
LARA integrates advanced AI capabilities into a lawyer's workflow, enhancing productivity and decision-making. We are dedicated to responsible AI development and user-centricity, continually refining and expanding LARA’s features.
