CHICAGO - Jan. 27, 2026 -Litera, a global leader in legal AI technology solutions, introduces enhanced Kira upgrades, driving the next evolution of its AI-powered contract intelligence solution. As deal activity increases and GenAI adoption accelerates across a growing market of legal tools, Kira helps legal teams analyze contracts at scale with the accuracy, governance, and collaboration required for high-stakes legal work. Trusted by 71% of the Fortune 100, Litera provides the proven, enterprise-grade foundation Kira builds upon-delivering reliable, governed AI for the most demanding legal environments.

"While LLM technology has been a true game changer for contract review exercises, when LLM technology is paired with Kira's proprietary AI models, we are seeing incredible levels of accuracy and precision from simple natural language prompts," said Adam Ryan, Chief Product Officer at Litera. "The new iteration of Kira combines Litera's 30 years of legal expertise and a decade of AI refinement to bring GenAI to legal work with accuracy that teams can trust and governance they can control. By pairing GenAI with proven AI models and flexible oversight, Kira provides contract intelligence firms can rely on for their most critical matters."

In high-stakes contract review, generic and pure GenAI tools are missing legal nuance and requiring extensive prompt engineering to produce reliable results. Kira addresses these challenges through a hybrid AI approach that combines GenAI with proprietary AI models trained on over 1 million legal contracts. This delivers consistent 90%+ accuracy while enabling legal teams to reduce review time, manage risk with confidence, identify and prevent contract value leakage, scale contract review workflows, and meet governance requirements without compromising reliability.

Used across M&A, real estate, banking, finance, tax, and IP matters, Kira supports complex legal work where precision and consistency are essential. Law firms and legal teams are choosing Kira for:

• Consistent, multi-layer accuracy: Hybrid AI combines GenAI with tested proprietary models to deliver reliable extraction of clauses, answers, and insights for high-stakes contract review.

• Collaborative, easy-to-use workflows: Intuitive end-to-end workflows that simplify complex tasks-from organizing documents and tracking changes to managing reviews and exports-so teams can work together and scale effortlessly.

• Two Powerful Tools: Lito for Drafting and Comparing in Word, Kira for High-Precision Analysis: Lito is included in the Kira subscription, and while each tool is fully standalone, they're designed to complement one another depending on the task. Use Lito for fast, structured everyday reviews in Word, Outlook and web, and rely on Kira when the stakes are high and require deeply accurate, high-precision contract analysis.

• Flexible governance controls addressing varying compliance mandates: Legal teams can enable or disable GenAI at the project level to meet firm, client, or regulatory requirements without losing extraction capabilities and accuracy.
