Vals AI Seeks Legal Tech Contenders for Benchmarking Spotlight

Calling All Legal AI Innovators

Vals AI, the New York-based benchmarking and analytics company, is extending an open invitation to legal AI vendors to participate in its upcoming research studies. These initiatives focus on evaluating the performance of generative AI in areas like legal research and contract analysis—two of the most critical applications in legal practice today. Companies that join will be benchmarked against peers using standardized, real-world legal tasks, offering unprecedented transparency into product capabilities. It’s a high-stakes opportunity for vendors to prove the merit of their AI models in a market increasingly fueled by performance data.

Raising the Bar for Legal Tech Standards

This effort by Vals AI aims to fill a significant gap in the legal tech landscape: objective, third-party validation of AI tools. While many vendors tout impressive capabilities, users often struggle to compare products due to marketing noise and opaque metrics. Vals’ benchmarking process promises standardized criteria, reproducibility, and side-by-side comparisons—raising the bar for both accountability and credibility in legal tech. These studies could become the gold standard for evaluating AI tools in legal workflows, benefiting law firms, corporate legal departments, and AI developers alike.
