AI Legal Assistant Announces Integration with Actionstep
SYDNEY, Australia, 12 November 2025 – AI Legal Assistant today announced a bi-directional integration with Actionstep, the world’s first true cloud-based practice management system. The integration delivers AI Legal Assistant’s document drafting agentic AI experience as part of Actionstep’s document management and matter management workflows.
The integration addresses a critical industry problem: legal professionals spend up to 75% of their billable time on document drafting and research tasks, constantly switching between multiple systems and third-party tools. This task-switching and manual work costs the industry an estimated $50 billion annually in lost productivity.
Proven Results
Early adopters of the integration with Actionstep report 4-8 hours of weekly time savings per lawyer, translating to meaningful ROI within the first month. The integration allows for seamless work between Actionstep and AI Legal Assistant which reduces document drafting time by up to 65%.
“Last financial year, our firm’s billings increased by 35% over the year before. And we had one less team member. And I think a large part of that is because of our use of AI.” said David Chung, Director at Creo Legal.
Client response has been overwhelmingly positive. “We definitely have much better turnaround times and much happier clients because we’re able to get to them quickly with confidence without any compromise of quality, if anything, an improvement to quality because you have somebody checking over your work almost at all times.” said Daegan Leachman, Senior Associate at Creo Legal.
How It Works
The integrated solution combines AI Legal Assistant’s proprietary agentic AI framework – with Actionstep’s proven cloud law firm operations platform, which serves over 45,000 legal professionals globally.
Unlike traditional AI tools that wait for commands, AI Legal Assistant analyses the matter context, anticipates workflow needs, provides proactive assistance, suggests relevant precedents, and streamlines even complex legal tasks.
“Legal professionals deserve technology that works as intelligently as they do,” said Samuel Junghenn, CEO of AI Legal Assistant. “This integration eliminates the friction that keeps lawyers from focusing on what matters most: serving their clients.”
Market Context
The bi-directional integration fundamentally changes how document drafting work is performed. Instead of toggling between multiple systems and manually transferring documents, users experience seamless workflows where AI anticipates next steps, organises information, and maintains consistency across all matter activities.
The solution addresses a market gap that traditional legal tech has struggled to solve: making AI genuinely useful for day-to-day legal work rather than a separate tool requiring additional learning and process changes.
“Our clients have been asking for AI that actually enhances their practice efficiency, not just another tool to learn,” said Kevin Day, Director of Partnerships – Australia/New Zealand at Actionstep. “This integration delivers sophisticated AI capabilities that feel natural and intuitive within their existing workflows.”
Availability
The integrated solution is available immediately to new and existing Actionstep customers across Australia and New Zealand, with England and Wales launching in Q4 2025. Implementation typically takes four hours with comprehensive training and support included.
