Clearbrief

Clearbrief is an AI-powered legal writing and citation analysis platform delivered as a Microsoft Word add-in, built for litigators, in-house legal teams, courts, and arbitrators involved in drafting and reviewing fact-intensive legal documents.

Key features and functions include:

Fact Citation and Verification Analyzes draft documents to locate and insert citations grounded in uploaded case materials. The Analyze & Add Fact-Cite tool identifies relevant source text and links factual assertions to supporting documents, flagging statements that lack adequate evidentiary support.

AI-Powered Hallucination and Citation Check Cross-references legal citations within a brief against verified legal databases, including through a LexisNexis integration, to detect potentially fabricated or inaccurate case citations. Generates a downloadable Cite Check Report providing an audit trail of citation review activity.

Hyperlinked Timelines Extracts dates and key facts from case documents and generates chronological timelines with hyperlinked citations to source materials, enabling rapid review of complex records and supporting both brief preparation and trial strategy.

Table Builder and Evidence Summaries Assembles structured tables and document summaries from large sets of case materials, including deposition transcripts and medical records, facilitating rapid fact organization and evidence review.

Tables of Authorities and Hyperlinked Filings Automatically generates Tables of Authorities and converts citations to specified citation formats (e.g., Bluebook, California Style Manual). Enables hyperlinking of all citations within filings for submission to courts.

Investigation Reports Produces AI-generated investigation reports with hyperlinked citations drawn from uploaded documents, designed for in-house compliance teams and legal departments conducting internal reviews.

Real-Time Trial Support Enables search, fact-checking, and argument analysis during live proceedings, including the generation of cross-examination outlines from case records.

Bring Your Own Storage Offers an enterprise option allowing organizations to keep all uploaded documents within their own cloud storage environment, providing additional control over data residency and confidentiality.

Clearbrief has been recognized with multiple industry awards, including the Legalweek Litigation Technology of the Year (2026 and 2023), LegalTech Breakthrough Award for Legal Compliance Solution of the Year (2025), and Best Practice of Law App at the Clio Cloud Conference (2025). The platform holds four issued patents in AI for legal writing.
