BoxWorks 2025 showcased Box’s vision for making content more intelligent, connected, and secure, with several product advances directly relevant to law firms. The conference emphasized AI-driven capabilities that provide quick access to key contracts, surface critical insights from case filings, and automate routine tasks for client onboarding. These features help lawyers reduce time spent searching through documents so they can focus on substantive legal work. Throughout BoxWorks, law firms emerged as a key example of where secure Intelligent Content Management drives measurable value.
Box announced deeper connections across the digital workplace, making easier to keep matter files, engagement letters, client communications, and practice-management data in sync. For law firms, this means fewer manual transfers between systems and reduced risk of version drift. We’re thrilled to announce AI-powered enhancements to Box Apps to surface insights faster with Box AI Agents. For example, professionals can use Box AI Agents to easily organize engagement letters or ask Box AI to find specific details within lengthy client contracts.
From a practice perspective, Box’s automation and AI capabilities enable scalable document standardization and faster client delivery. Box Automate, our new agentic workflow automation solution, will enable law firms to effortlessly orchestrate teams, systems, and agents to save time and scale your work. Firms can automate routine approvals for vendor agreements, assemble templates and precedents into ready-to-use documents, and use intelligent search to find relevant clausesquickly. These advances improve consistency across clients and matters and free up attorneys to focus on strategy and client counseling rather than repetitive drafting tasks.
Security and compliance received strong attention at BoxWorks, with updates designed to give IT and compliance teams better tools to enforce policies without hindering lawyer productivity. We also announced Box Shield Pro, our new agentic solution to protect content using AI classification. Matter-centric folder structures, granular permissions, encryption, and enhanced audit logging support the confidentiality demands of legal work and make it easier to meet e-discovery and regulatory requirements.
At BoxWorks, we hosted a roundtable for legal leaders, from CIOs and CISOs at top law firms to IT, information governance, and litigation support professionals. Participants compared where they are on the AI adoption curve and explored how Box’s newest capabilities — including Box Extract for intelligent metadata capture and Box Automate for streamlining complex workflows — could transform legal work. Ideas surfaced around early case assessment in eDiscovery, managing outside counsel guidelines, building knowledge and precedent libraries, generating engagement letters, and deploying AI agents for RFPs and M&A due diligence. The discussion underscored how firms can modernize and reimagine legal workflows on a single, AI-powered content platform — boosting productivity while reducing costs and tool sprawl.
BoxWorks 2025 reinforced that the modern legal practice depends on Intelligent Content Management. By centralizing your knowledge content, applying stronger governance, and using AI to surface insights, law firms can deliver faster, more accurate client service while reducing risk. For firms looking to move both more quickly and more securely, Box — and all the exciting product announcements at BoxWorks — offer a practical path forward.
