Wordsmith AI and Microsoft partner to bring governed Legal AI to enterprises

LONDON, UK, 12th March, 2026

Wordsmith AI, the command center for in-house legal teams, today announces its availability on the Microsoft Marketplace and its integration with Microsoft 365. The platform enables in-house legal teams to review and negotiate contracts, automate legal workflows, and extend legal oversight to business teams, all within their existing Microsoft environment, on the secure and scalable foundation of Azure.

Organizations can now find, procure, and deploy Wordsmith directly through the Microsoft Marketplace, streamlining purchasing and billing within their existing Microsoft agreement. Built on Azure and integrated with Microsoft 365, Wordsmith inherits enterprise security protocols and simplifies compliance, meeting the requirements of both CIOs and General Counsel at global organisations.

For General Counsel navigating the rapid adoption of AI across their organisations, this marks a significant step forward. As employees increasingly turn to general-purpose AI assistants for sensitive legal work, reviewing contracts, interpreting policy, seeking legal guidance, without oversight or auditability, the risk of ungoverned "shadow legal" activity has become a board-level concern. Wordsmith's availability on Microsoft Marketplace gives enterprises a trusted, procurement-streamlined path to deploying legal AI responsibly.
