Early adoption of Gemini Enterprise for Legal and the launch of BenchMark underscore Weil's commitment to helping clients through AI-driven innovation.
NEW YORK, NY, AUGUST 25, 2026: International law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP today announced a strategic collaboration with Google Cloud to deploy Gemini Enterprise for Legal, a secure, powerful and integrated AI solution purpose-built to meet the complex requirements of sophisticated legal practice. Through this collaboration, Weil becomes one of the first law firms to adopt the platform and collaborate with Google Cloud to help shape the evolution of AI capabilities designed for the legal industry.
“We believe the future of legal services will be built by combining the best technologies with the best legal judgment,” said Ramona Nee, Weil’s incoming Executive Partner. “Our collaboration with Google Cloud gives us early access to emerging capabilities while allowing us to help shape the evolution of Gemini Enterprise for Legal based on the realities of sophisticated legal practice. Together with our continued investment in proprietary AI capabilities and collaboration with clients, this partnership will help us deliver the innovative, high-quality service our clients expect from Weil.”
Google Cloud offers a fully-integrated AI platform that unifies high-performance infrastructure, frontier Gemini models, enterprise data capabilities, developer tools, and intelligent agents.
Today’s announcement marks an important milestone in Weil's AI innovation strategy. By adding Gemini Enterprise for Legal to the Firm's growing AI ecosystem, Weil is reinforcing its commitment to a flexible, multi-model approach that brings together best-in-class technologies to better serve clients while equipping its lawyers and technologists with advanced AI capabilities. Rather than relying on a single platform, Weil is building an AI ecosystem that combines strategic technology partnerships with proprietary innovation tailored to the unique demands of legal practice.
Weil’s approach is grounded in thoughtful, decentralized innovation—empowering lawyers, business professionals and developers to identify opportunities to enhance client service with AI-powered applications. Supported by enterprise-wide AI enablement, proprietary application development and continued investment in advanced AI capabilities, the Firm is building a flexible AI ecosystem designed to evolve alongside the rapidly changing technology landscape.
Weil is also working closely with a growing group of clients to develop, test and refine AI-enabled approaches to legal service delivery. These collaborations are helping the Firm explore new service models, validate emerging technologies in real-world matters and unlock new sources of value for clients. As AI continues to reshape the legal industry, Weil expects to expand these collaborative efforts with additional clients.
“Our clients are among the most innovative organizations in the world, and many are exploring the same questions we are about how AI can transform professional services,” said Jonathon Soler, Weil’s incoming Managing Partner. “We're developing these capabilities alongside our clients, testing new approaches together and helping define what the next generation of legal service delivery can look like. Those collaborations make us better lawyers, better innovators and better partners.”
One example of this approach in action is BenchMark, the Firm's newly launched proprietary AI powered litigation intelligence platform. Developed by Weil lawyers and its in-house AI development group, LASER, BenchMark analyzes a judge’s publicly available record—including opinions, hearing transcripts, bench rulings and other judicial materials—to identify patterns and insights that inform case strategy throughout the life of a matter. By enabling litigation teams to synthesize years of judicial activity at a scale previously impractical, BenchMark helps lawyers prepare more strategically while allowing them to focus on the sophisticated advocacy and client counseling that distinguish Weil's litigation practice.
BenchMark exemplifies Weil's broader philosophy that AI delivers its greatest value when paired with deep legal expertise. Rather than replacing attorney judgment, the platform enhances it, demonstrating how the Firm is combining internally developed AI applications with leading third-party technologies to create differentiated capabilities for clients.
“No single model or platform will solve every legal challenge,” said Andrew Simon, Weil’s Chief AI & Innovation Officer. “Our approach is to build a comprehensive AI ecosystem—from equipping our teams with the best available tools, to building custom applications, to developing advanced capabilities that reimagine how legal services are delivered. That architecture gives us the flexibility to adopt new capabilities as they emerge, create differentiated tools like BenchMark and deliver AI solutions tailored to the increasingly complex needs of our clients.”
Together, these initiatives reflect Weil's commitment to combining strategic technology partnerships, proprietary innovation and close client collaboration to shape the future of AI-enabled legal services.
