What is Pincites?
LOIS for Word is a Microsoft Word extension that brings Filevine's Legal Operating Intelligence System (LOIS) directly into the document drafting environment. It transforms everyday drafting, redlining, and review into connected, context-aware legal work by absorbing your firm's best practices, remembering successful strategies, and applying that wisdom to accelerate every future review. The tool was formerly known as Pincites before Filevine acquired it in January 2026.
Key features include Playbooks for standardizing review with one-click checklists of issues and prioritized risk scoring, Composer as an in-Word assistant for spotting hidden risks and drafting fallback clauses, and Surgical Redlining that makes precise in-place edits without delete-and-replace markups. The tool also offers legal research with trusted sources and citations, gap and term analysis comparing against templates, risk detection for ambiguities and non-standard terms, intelligent comment generation, document risk scoring, and negotiation history capture.
LOIS for Word is designed for legal professionals including litigators, contract attorneys,in-house legal teams, and law firms of all sizes. Litigators can draft, edit, and revise briefs directly in Microsoft Word while maintaining connectivity to underlying case data. Enterprise teams at high-growth technology companies like Redis, Glean, and Vercel already trust this tool for AI-powered contract drafting and redlining.
The tool learns from user edits, flags risk, and accelerates review and negotiation of complex agreements. It carries context across reviews by remembering formatting, defined terms, and drafting patterns without requiring re-prompting. Saved redlines and fallback clauses become institutional memory through precedent libraries, and learning accumulates across the organization rather than being siloed by individual user.
Integrations with Filevine allow teams to pull live matter context and related documents directly into their drafting workflow, search thousands of discovery and deal room documents, surface relevant precedent and facts, and move straight into precise drafting and redlining in Word without switching tabs.
