OpenAI Launches AI Agent for Law Firms

We covered on September 3 how the legal platform Legora reviewed 41 financial documents in minutes using GPT-6 Astra. OpenAI has now turned that breakthrough into a full product — Astra for Law, built specifically for law firms.

The new offering pairs a frontier model with each firm's actual workflow: it connects to case files, documents, and internal procedures instead of operating in isolation. Confidentiality gets special attention too — the controls are built for handling clients' sensitive materials, a must for the legal profession.

Check how your lawyers and accountants currently handle internal paperwork — is manual cross-checking or contract approval still eating up specialist hours? Role-based access and confidential-data protection work the same way in 1Cifer: accountants and lawyers see only their own data, and approvals follow a tracked routing history.
