Lawyers On Demand has partnered with Wordsmith to deliver AI-enabled managed services to in-house legal teams.
Consilio Company, Lawyers On Demand (LOD), has combined its expert professionals, governance, and day-to-day management of legal work with Wordsmith’s AI-native workflow platform.
The partnership enables in-house teams to better handle ever-increasing work volumes without adding to headcount or losing control.
“Our clients want results, not ‘AI for AI’s sake’,” Patty Wise, LOD managing director for the United States, said.
LOD’s managing director of global clients, Nigel Rea, said: “By delivering legal managed services enhanced by Wordsmith, we help legal departments use AI in a way that is practical, governed, and reliable.”
The partnership has been designed to make AI usable in practice by embedding it at scale within a managed delivery model, so it works inside how teams already operate rather than sitting apart from it.
As part of the offering, Consilio provides technology advisory, implementation support, and ongoing refinement.
Feedback from live deployments will also inform how Wordsmith continues to improve its platform for enterprise use.
The partnership announcement follows a three-month pilot across multiple teams and legal workflows, which demonstrated measurable improvements in efficiency, turnaround times, and overall contract-handling capacity.
The pilot also reinforced the value of combining experienced legal professionals with AI-enabled delivery to help in-house teams scale support more effectively while maintaining oversight, consistency, and quality.
Ross McNairn, CEO of Wordsmith, said: “Legal AI needs to work inside real operating models.
“Partnering with Lawyers On demand and Consilio allows Wordsmith to be deployed as part of a managed service, while benefiting from deep delivery and technology expertise.”
