Miami, Fla. June 18, 2025—Global legal intelligence company vLex has launched the Spring ‘25 upgrade to Vincent, its industry-leading legal workflow platform. The release continues to build on the strength of vLex’s global legal database, which empowers the company to innovate rapidly at global scale. The new release features agentic AI, user-created workflows, new transactional features, model upgrades, and much more.

As legal and business needs become increasingly intertwined, the Spring ‘25 Vincent release has been created to address the needs and strategic goals of both – all backed by vLex’s unmatched legal content from jurisdictions around the world.

“In today’s competitive, fast-changing landscape, legal and business needs are converging more every day,” said vLex CEO Lluís Faus. “Attorneys, both at law firms and in law departments, need reliable, efficient tools that they and their clients can trust—and Vincent, backed by the vLex library of legal data, continues to deliver on that promise. vLex users aren’t just solving legal problems; they are ultimately focused on more strategic goals to strengthen and position their organizations – and their clients’ organizations – for success. With these upgrades, users can achieve those objectives with better results faster than ever.”

The New Workflow Engine Applies Agentic AI to Set the Stage for the Next Generation of Legal Intelligence

vLex’s Workflow Engine, its proprietary agentic framework, brings structured, expert-designed processes to complex legal tasks within Vincent. More precisely, Vincent includes a suite of agents under the hood, and the Workflow Engine provides a sophisticated platform that enables Vincent to reason about which tools to employ for different tasks.

Instead of relying on unpredictable, open-ended prompts, Vincent’s Workflow Engine guides users through reliable, step-by-step legal procedures. This agentic approach provides the confidence of proven legal methodologies while maintaining the flexibility of a natural conversation, allowing professionals to explore details and refine their approach in collaboration with Vincent, without ever losing sight of the end goal.

“We built the Workflow Engine to ensure Vincent feels less like operating a tool and more like collaborating with an expert colleague who knows the right steps to take,” said Daniel Hoadley, vLex’s Director of Research & Development. “It gives legal professionals the best of both worlds: the power, speed and interactivity of AI, with the structure and reliability of carefully curated workflow processes. The result is more confidence, not just in the final work product, but in the entire process from start to finish.”

Model Upgrades, as a Matter of Course

To match the new possibilities afforded by the Workflow Engine, vLex has implemented across-the-board model upgrades. Vincent continues to offer the latest-generation models from leading providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. This latest generational leap has afforded new possibilities in the depth and quality of research and analysis, while continuing to ensure that user data and inputs are protected through zero data retention implementations.

Vincent’s responses are clearer, more precise and analytical, and as always, multilingual and backed by verifiable sources from the vLex global research library. Utilizing the most recent advances in the leading models improves Vincent at the speed of AI.

Beta Release of Studio

Since its announcement in the Winter ‘25 release, vLex has launched the beta version of Studio, a maker space for law firms and legal departments to create their own workflows for any number of uses, using Vincent tech, vLex structured legal data, and their own legal and business expertise.

Studio workflows can be created in minutes, using a guided wizard, without writing a single line of code. Once optimized, these custom workflows can be published to specific users or the organization at large, appearing on each end-user's home page alongside the full suite of vLex-created workflows. Beta users are already building and using their own workflows.

Working closely with leading law firms and legal departments has allowed vLex to thoughtfully and methodically develop Studio to maximize usability and value. “We are thrilled to be one of vLex’s thought partners in the development of Studio,” said Evan Shenkman, Chief Knowledge and Innovation Officer at Fisher Phillips. “Our attorneys have already seen enormous benefit from leveraging Vincent’s workflows to provide faster, better service to our clients, but the launch of Studio has dramatically expanded our firm's ability to creatively innovate on their platform.”

Enterprise Vincent subscribers may request limited early-access invitations to the beta version of Studio by contacting beta@vlex.com.

Tables Perform In-Depth Analysis Across Large Document Collections

When faced with navigating large volumes of documents, or in-depth examinations of large documents, users now have a powerful tool to extract key data points, compare critical clauses, and spot inconsistencies at a glance – all within the firm’s workspace in Vincent’s highly secure platform. Users can either specify what information they would like to summarize, or have Vincent create its own comparison of differences automatically.

Users can ask follow‑up questions, drill deeper into any cell, incorporate research, and iteratively refine their analysis, all in the same chat. This allows users to distill insights, conduct verified legal research, and transform outputs into actionable memos, briefs, or emails—all without leaving the chat.

“Tables save significant time for all legal professionals needing to perform in-depth analysis of large document sets,” said Alex Shaffer, Vincent Product Manager. “Deal teams can streamline lengthy manual reviews while litigation teams can analyze hundreds of case files simultaneously. Compliance officers can conduct consistent policy audits and knowledge managers can convert document-review playbooks into Tables templates.”

General Assist Combines the Creativity of GenAI with the Security of Vincent

Vincent’s general assist empowers Vincent users to handle a broad spectrum of business-oriented tasks, not just legal ones, all within the same interface and secure environment. That means that with general assist, users can get answers to legal questions, effortlessly draft emails, summarize discussions, brainstorm ideas, and organize presentations—without having to switch between conversations, apps, and subscriptions.

All of these interactions can exist in the same conversation, preserving context and harboring sensitive requests within Vincent’s ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliant secure workspace. This allows users to meaningfully integrate their business and legal matters in one system, enabling legal professionals to do virtually anything that AI can do, without resorting to unsupervised, consumer-grade AI that may negatively impact firm security and client privacy.

“General assist transforms Vincent into a versatile, conversational partner that streamlines legal, business operations and creative tasks,” said Kuan Hsieh, Senior Research Scientist at vLex. “It harnesses the same frontier large language models and architecture underpinning Vincent’s legal workflows to deliver polished outputs for drafting, summarizing, outlining, general knowledge and ideation – without interrupting the user’s existing legal context or forcing them to move confidential or sensitive information into less secure environments. Users now get the best of both worlds: highly-engineered legal workflows paired with the raw versatility of the most powerful models, all within a state-of-the-art secure environment.”
