Libra is the AI workspace for lawyers, as a productivity tool
Libra (Berlin, founded 2023; acquired by Wolters Kluwer in 2025) is a specialized AI workspace for lawyers with a user base of 9,000+ attorneys and 800 law firms and legal departments plus 1,200+ legal teams. The May 2026 release added enhanced contract review and integrated workflows. Core features: Agentic Chat with Deep-Thinking mode for complex legal tasks, Legal Research with Wolters Kluwer content, document upload, review, and summary, Libra Assistants (custom agents), Libra Discovery (document comparison), Workflows, Word and Outlook add-ins, SharePoint integration.
This is intelligently designed for the everyday lawyer. For legal professionals who want to accelerate their research, review documents faster, and write drafts with assistance, Libra is a powerful productivity tool, with ISO certification, EU (EEA) hosting, and GDPR compliance.
The decisive difference: Libra is an assistance tool that supports individual steps of legal work (Research → Draft → Review). The lawyer reviews, decides, and carries responsibility. UNOY is an operating system for expert work with three models: Self (you build), Co-Build (together), Delivery (we deliver finished results with accountability). Libra makes lawyers more productive. UNOY makes the work around the lawyer redundant.
Differentiation
Where UNOY goes further than Libra.
Libra is an intelligent assistance tool for legal work. Seven dimensions show where UNOY takes a fundamentally different approach.
Kategorie 01
Rule-Based Instead of GenAI Chat
Rule-Based Instead of GenAI Chat.
Libra uses GenAI (Agentic Chat), flexible and natural but not reproducible. UNOY is rule-based first: domain experts build deterministic rules, with AI supporting where needed. Essential for regulated industries: audit trail, reproducibility, Know Why.
Kategorie 02
Cross-Sector, Not Just Legal
Cross-Sector, Not Just Legal.
Libra specializes in lawyers and legal departments. UNOY works cross-sector: law, insurance, claims management, compliance, back office, consulting. The same platform, the same principles, for any rule-based expert work.
Kategorie 03
Outcome Accountability
Outcome Accountability.
Libra is a tool: the lawyer does the work and carries the responsibility. UNOY in the Supervised model takes full outcome accountability via certified delivery partners. The client hands over the matter and receives the finished result, with a guarantee.
Kategorie 04
Autonomous End-to-End Processing
Autonomous End-to-End Processing.
Libra supports individual steps; the lawyer integrates the results manually. UNOY can process fully autonomously: intake, ruleset, demand letter, dispatch. No manual steps in between, only final review.
Kategorie 05
Word at XML Level
Word at XML Level.
Libra supports document creation through chat and drafts. UNOY reads and writes complete Word XML: exact CI-compliant formatting, playbook-driven redlining, field templates, tables of contents, with reduced hallucination risk, pixel-perfect.
Kategorie 06
Skalierungsmodelle
Scaling Models.
Libra: €900–2,400/user/year (per-seat licensing, billed yearly only). UNOY: project-based from 50 matters/month, independent of user count. Flexible scaling, economical for organizations of any size.
Assistance vs. Autonomy.
Libra and UNOY solve different tasks, at different stages of the workflow.
check Agentic Chat for complex legal tasks
check Legal Research with Wolters Kluwer content
check Document review and summary
check Drafting assistants and workflows
close GenAI Chat, results not reproducible
close Lawyer must review and integrate results
close No autonomous processing of back-office tasks
check Rule-based matter processing from start to finish
check Deterministic results, audit trail for every decision
check Demand letters, matter engagement letters, e-invoices (finished)
check Word at XML level with CI-exact formatting
check Know Why: every rule documented and traceable
check Supervised model with outcome accountability available
check Deployable cross-sector
The difference: Libra makes lawyers more productive by supporting individual steps (Research, Drafting, Review). UNOY processes the work automatically: rule-based, deterministic, from intake to outcome, without manual input in between, only final review. Libra = Assistance. UNOY = Autonomy.

Where Libra is a tool, UNOY does the work.
Three concrete scenarios showing how assistance and autonomy fit together.
Lawyer uses Libra for EU 261/2004 research
Agentic Chat reviews precedents and rulings
Draft: "Claim against XYZ Airlines"
Lawyer still has to do manually: check, edit, copy Word file, prepare dispatch
Enter flight data (Libra could support intake)
UNOY: rule-based check against EU 261/2004
Demand letter as finished Word file (CI-compliant)
100,000+ matters, fully structured, audit trail for every decision
Lawyer uploads contract to Libra Discovery
Document comparison + summary of clauses
Risk flags via Agentic Chat
Lawyer reviews manually, drafts redline version, sends feedback
Libra intake: upload contract + client data
UNOY: rule-based review against company standard terms
Redline version as Word (XML level), risk memo, response template
Lawyer clicks "Approved" and email dispatch is automatic
Lawyer searches Wolters Kluwer content via Chat
Libra shows precedents, rulings, and legislative changes
Agentic Chat summarizes the implications
Lawyer writes the memo for the law firm themselves
Libra research as input for the ruleset
UNOY: rule-based memo generation (e.g. "Rulings on warranty periods")
Finished law firm memo as Word document, distribution list, CI formatting
Monthly automatic distribution, audit trail for every item
Libra for research and drafting. UNOY for autonomous processing.
Libra and UNOY solve different problems. Libra increases lawyer productivity at individual steps. UNOY structures all back-office work, rule-based and with audit trail.

Rule-based matter processing from start to finish
Demand letters, matter engagement letters, e-invoices (finished)
Word XML level, CI-compliant, redlining, field templates
Know Why: structured audit trail for every decision
Principle: Rules determine the outcome. Automatic processing from intake to finished Word file. Lawyer reviews, approves, done.
Stronger together
Libra for lawyer productivity. UNOY for back-office matter processing.
Libra supports lawyers in their daily work: research, document review, and drafting assistance with Agentic Chat and Wolters Kluwer content. UNOY structures the work that follows, rule-based, deterministic, from intake to outcome. Libra makes lawyers more productive. UNOY makes the work around the lawyer redundant.
Assistance or Autonomy.
Libra is an intelligent productivity platform for lawyers, with Agentic Chat, Legal Research, and document assistance at a high level. UNOY is a different kind of system: not for assisting lawyers, but for the autonomous processing of expert tasks through to a finished, guaranteed outcome.
UNOY is cross-sector, rule-based first (AI-supported), with Word at XML level, audit trail, and outcome accountability, for any rule-based expert work, not just Legal Tech.
