vLex Introduces Significant Vincent AI Upgrades and Global Legal Content Expansion
25 February 2025
Winter ‘25 release includes the availability of multimodal AI capabilities for audio and video files, new and upgraded workflows, and expansion of region- and country-specific legal intelligence to Hong Kong, Italy, Peru, and Ecuador.
Miami, FL (February 24, 2025) - Global legal intelligence company vLex has introduced the Winter ‘25 upgrade to its award-winning legal workflow platform Vincent AI. This release introduces multimodal AI capability, adds six new litigation-focused workflows driven by Docket Alarm’s more than 850 million court records, and a new, enhanced version of the popular Build an Argument workflow to Vincent AI. It also continues to expand Vincent AI’s unmatched global reach, adding region- and country-specific legal workflows for Hong Kong, Italy, Peru, and Ecuador, bringing the total to an unmatched 17 countries.
Vincent AI is powered by the industry’s largest collection of global legal intelligence, positioning users to gain advantages in a world where legal issues often transcend borders and jurisdictions have disparate requirements. This depth and breadth of country-specific legal intelligence and availability of pre-configured native workflows is why eight of the 10 largest global law firms trust Vincent AI, along with Fortune 100 companies, governments, law schools, and law libraries around the world.
“The power of data is only as strong as its relevancy and the ability to interpret and harness it,” said vLex CEO Lluís Faus. “The new multimodal AI feature enables unprecedented efficiency in analyzing audio and video data to inform Vincent AI’s suggestions and workflows. And our continued geographical expansion now covers over 200 jurisdictions in 17 countries spanning five continents, making Vincent AI the most relevant and beneficial legal research and workflow platform for a rapidly growing global community of legal professionals.”
Introducing Multimodal AI to Integrate and Interpret Audio and Video Files
The Analyze Judicial Proceedings workflow–introduced for the first time in this release-delivers benefits made possible only by multimodal AI. With it, users can upload audio and video files to generate instant transcripts, automated analysis, and suggested next prompts for related legal tasks, all contextualized to the content of the uploaded files.
Existing Vincent AI workflows are also enhanced by this multimodal AI capability. The Analyze a Deposition workflow, for example, now allows legal professionals to analyze hours of depositions and witness testimony in minutes, more efficiently uncover strengths and weaknesses in key legal arguments, discover opportunities to impeach witnesses from reviewing videos, and achieve superior outcomes for their clients.
“For many lawyers, one of their most tedious tasks involves reviewing audio and video manually to find important evidence or advantage,” said Robin Chesterman, Global Head of Product at vLex. “This unique capability frees them from this and provides new tools to improve their analysis and focus on more strategic work.”
New Docket Alarm Workflows in Vincent AI
Driven by over 850 million U.S. state and federal court records in Docket Alarm, vLex has released six new litigation-focused Vincent AI workflows with sophisticated data analytics capabilities made possible by the power of Generative AI.
The newly available workflows include:
- Profile a Lawyer: Analyze motion success rates, typical roles in litigation, case duration trends, and notable cases
- Profile a Law Firm: Review firm expertise, major clients, and practice strengths
- Profile a Party: Examine settlement patterns, jurisdiction preferences, and outside counsel relationships
- Profile a Judge: Study judicial preferences, reversal rates, decision patterns, and expert witness history
- Docket Research: Conduct natural language searches across Docket Alarm’s 850M+ court records
- Find Litigation Precedents: Uncover winning motions, briefs, and orders instantly
These new workflows enable direct natural language searches of Docket Alarm’s extensive database for deeper legal research and intelligence gathering, as well as the ability to instantly locate and retrieve similar pleadings, motions, responses, and judicial orders to drastically reduce time spent researching issues and drafting court documents. They streamline critical tasks and research throughout the litigation lifecycle.
“In today’s world, it often feels like we are either drowning in data or can’t find truly reliable information,” said Bruno Queiroz, Head of Product at Docket Alarm. “The new Vincent AI workflows address both of these challenges using Docket Alarm data, by retrieving and rendering critical information in a way that tells deeper stories. This means better outputs to inform case strategy and better service delivery for clients.”
New Release of Vincent AI’s Build an Argument Workflow
One of the most popular workflows from Vincent AI gets significant enhancements in this latest release. Based on feedback from clients, facts from client matters are now able to be combined with data from relevant legal authorities. This new release of the Build an Argument workflow enables faster development of persuasive, case-specific arguments with direct links to citations. Vincent AI also provides recommendations on the strongest arguments based on the facts of a case with detailed analyses on why certain positions may hold more merit.
“The upgrades we’ve made to this powerful workflow help transform general legal research into focused argument creation,” said Chesterman. “Litigators often wish they had more bandwidth and time to prepare, and Build an Argument gives it to them.”
Expanding Already-Unmatched Global Legal Content
Vincent AI’s native, country-specific legal workflows are one of its most unique and powerful features. To build upon the value they add to vLex’s growing global client base, this release includes continued expansion with the addition of pre-configured workflows for four new countries and regions–Hong Kong, Italy, Peru, and Ecuador–which follow the addition of Brazil, France, and Portugal in the Autumn ‘24 release. Vincent AI now offers the most comprehensive global reach of any legal AI research and workflow platform, covering:
- Brazil

- Ecuador
- European Union

“At vLex, our overriding focus is our clients and the growing legal and regulatory demands they face as they do business in jurisdictions around the globe,” said David Finch, Global Head of Data at vLex. “We are constantly working to expand Vincent AI’s reach, to better serve them, and to allow them to better serve their own clients.”
