LegalOn, the contract review specialists, have rolled out a library of 100-plus AI workflows, all available within its platform and aimed at inhouse lawyers. (See AL Interview below.)
The lawyer-built collection, branded as Prompt Workflows, covers areas such as compliance, M&A, litigation, IP, corporate governance, legal research, and legal operations; and with every workflow available in US, EU and Singapore variants.
Bari Williams, Head of Legal, LegalOn, commented: ‘Prompt Workflows are crafted by attorneys, structured to get customers closer to a finished work product and designed to get smarter about how their teams work over time.’
And here’s some of the things you can do with the workflows within the platform:
- ‘Sequence the first 48 hours of a suspected data breach: containment, escalation, evidence preservation, notification assessment and outside counsel coordination.
- Turn a cease-and-desist letter into a structured response plan: assessment, deadlines, evidence preservation, internal investigation and escalation to outside counsel.
- Run a worker classification question through the IRS, economic reality and ABC tests in one pass, ending in a decision checklist and misclassification risk flag.’
Workflows can be searched and filtered by practice area or tag to find the right one, then saved and customized to reflect a team’s preferences, matter history and internal standards, ‘turning each into a shared record of how that team actually works, rather than a static prompt that stays generic over time’, they added.
Is this a big deal?
Well, plenty of legal tech companies have developed collections of ‘Skills’, or workflows, AKA a library of complex prompts, for their platforms. It’s a sensible play to make, given what is possible now via tapping model frameworks supplied by the likes of Anthropic, for example – which has let loose a collection of its own skills for lawyers.
Ultimately, what this does is keep you within the bounds of the LegalOn platform. For example, you use LegalOn for some document review and then you need to do other work, e.g. something related to an employment compliance issue – and so now you can find a suitable workflow, run it, and keep everything on the platform. End result: more time spent living within LegalOn.

AL Interview with Bari Williams, Head of Legal at LegalOn:
Why do this? And why now?
Why do this: Lawyers are effectively being asked to become prompt engineers on top of practicing law, figuring out through trial and error how to phrase a request so the output doesn’t need to be rebuilt from scratch. Nobody trained them for that, and it’s not what they’re good at or paid to do. We built Prompt Workflows so the thinking is already done by attorneys, not guessed at by a model.
Why now: Legal departments have been asked to cut costs and headcount while matter volume keeps growing. AI was supposed to close that gap. But if teams are still spending hours reformatting and fact-checking generic AI output, the gap hasn’t closed, it’s just moved from headcount to hours. We’re launching this now because we saw that shift happening in real time with our customers, and waiting longer just means more teams hitting that wall on their own.
Does this make LegalOn more central to lawyers’ work, i.e., place LegalOn where they will stay using it?
Prompt Workflows are built right into the platform, so you get real legal work done in one click. You’re not hunting around for the right prompt, or staring at a blank page trying to figure out where to start. And the more a team uses them—customizing fallback positions, tweaking preferred terms, fine-tuning them over time—the more they start to adapt to how that team actually practices.
LegalOn is built to support the entire legal workday, from intake to signature and beyond, all in one place. Prompt Workflows are just another example of what that looks like in practice for our customers.
How did you decide on these workflows?
We looked at the customer data and based it on which templates and use cases customers relied on most. For in-house teams, certain commercial transactions come up constantly. NDAs and MSAs are the obvious starting point, since you need a confidential conversation before you can even discuss working together.
Then we built for coverage across the entire practice, not just the obvious use case. Ten practice areas—commercial contracts, data privacy, employment, compliance, M&A, litigation, IP, corporate governance, legal research, legal ops—covering both high-volume routine tasks and complex, high-stakes matters.
Every workflow was drafted by attorneys and tested against real legal standards. We also built US, EU, and Singapore variants so teams don’t have to localize the output themselves.
Can they be customized?
Yes and that’s actually the part I’m most excited about. You start with a workflow an attorney already built and tested. But then your team can adjust it: change the language to match your style, add attachments like templates to model from, build in your own fallback positions, adapt it to how your team actually handles that kind of matter.
Once it’s tuned the way you want, you save it. Now it’s yours, tailored to you. So it’s not a static prompt library that stays the same forever. It’s a foundation that’s built by attorneys on day one, and shaped by your team over time.
And on tokens — how are you handling that now?
Prompt Workflows are included at no additional charge across all of LegalOn’s subscription packages. Our pricing today is flat, user-based, and not metered by usage.
Thanks, Barri!
