Kira Systems
Hybrid ML plus GenAI clause extraction with per-project AI governance toggles
What is Kira Systems?
Kira (now part of Litera) is a contract intelligence platform combining proprietary ML models with optional GenAI for clause extraction at 90%+ accuracy. Generative Smart Fields let users ask natural-language questions without training data, while governance toggles let firms disable GenAI per project. Used by 70% of the top 50 global law firms, four of five UK Magic Circle firms, and three of Canada's Seven Sisters.

Business fit
Right for you if your firm needs proven clause-extraction accuracy on M&A and finance deals with the option to switch GenAI off entirely for sensitive matters or client policies. Skip if you want a CLM platform with workflow, repository, and signature management, since Kira is purpose-built for transactional review rather than lifecycle management.
