New York – October 8, 2026 – Cooley today announced a collaboration with Google to develop a new Gemini Enterprise AI agent using Google Cloud technologies to help lawyers review court filings for confidential information and prepare proposed redactions.

Redacting court filings to protect confidential information can consume days of lawyers’ time reviewing documents and identifying sensitive information, with little margin for error. Built on Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise, the new agent recommends targeted redactions of personally identifiable information (PII), technical information and other potentially confidential material for attorney review. Attorneys make all determinations about what should be redacted before the filing is submitted to the court. The tool is intended to expedite the review while keeping legal judgment firmly with the lawyers handling the matter.

The collaboration brings together Google Cloud’s trusted, enterprise-ready AI platform with the experience of Cooley’s elite global litigation practice. Cooley is the launch partner for this agent, providing product direction and ongoing feedback from litigators to help engineers design the workflow around the practical demands of complex litigation. The use case grew out of challenges encountered in real-world experience.

“Cooley has long collaborated with Google as litigation counsel,” said Ian Shapiro, chair of Cooley’s global litigation department. “And, as Cooley now endeavors to develop the AI-powered workflows that will enable us to litigate for our clients more effectively and efficiently, we are fortunate to be able to collaborate with Google’s exceptional team.”

“The most effective AI tools are built by validating technology against demanding, real-world use cases,” said Satish Thomas, vice president at Google Cloud. “Testing our agents in real-world environments with Cooley’s highly skilled team ensures we are solving genuine workflow challenges with the depth, speed and precision legal professionals require.”

The agent remains in development and is one of a growing number of AI-enabled tools and workflows Cooley is exploring and developing across the firm. It reflects Cooley’s broader approach to AI: pairing legal and industry acumen with leading technology to address practical client and lawyer needs, with attorney judgment at the center.
