AI Legal Index
Record

Changelog

What changed at AI vendors in legal, dated and sourced, and what changed on this index. Only product and capability changes qualify. Funding rounds, valuations, partnerships and awards are excluded, and an acquisition appears only where there is direct product impact. Every vendor entry cites a live retrieved source. Corrections and regrades publish in the same stream as everything else.

Product / capability

DataGrail added automatic high risk detection for data protection impact assessments, which fills Records of Processing Activities forms by identifying AI use, biometric data and targeting of vulnerable individuals. The same release adds custom system naming in the Live Data Map, optional fields in the Privacy Requests API, and version 1.3.0 of the Request Manager Agent with JMESPath support.

Buyer relevance. RoPA upkeep is the compliance task most teams are quietly behind on, because it is tedious rather than difficult. Automatic detection of the categories that trigger an assessment is worth more than the form filling, since missing a trigger is the failure that carries a penalty.

Correct a record, or ask how something was graded

Every grade and every signal on this index is drawn from public sources and dated. If a record is wrong, out of date, or missing an artifact the index did not locate, send the source and it will be reviewed and the record redated. Vendors are welcome to submit documentation. Nothing on this index is for sale, including a listing, a placement, or a grade.

AI Legal Index

The AI Legal Index is an independent index that tracks changes to AI vendors in legal. It holds 61 vendors across 9 categories, each graded on the same 15 capability axes and recorded against 12 legal signals, from public sources. No vendor pays for inclusion, placement, or rating.

The AI Legal Index is an editorial reference. It is not a regulatory body, not a law firm, and nothing published here is legal advice or a recommendation to retain or avoid a vendor. Records are verified against published sources, bar guidance and public court records. Where a record reads not addressed, the material was not located in public sources on the date shown. See the Methodology page for evaluation standards and limitations.
