NetDocuments and Epiq are shipping agentic AI workflows that execute predefined legal tasks—trademark prosecution, litigation intake, eDiscovery actions—within governed review gates rather than free-form generation. The shift moves legal AI from text generation to controlled system execution, requiring firms to rethink implementation boundaries and human review checkpoints.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Legal Tech and AI Agents. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're selling legal software, your customers just got told that AI is moving from drafting to execution—and every execution needs a review gate you have to build. Epiq and NetDocuments have drawn the line: the product is no longer the model, it's the workflow that proves the decision is checked.
