Cooley is working with Google Cloud on an AI agent that helps identify and redact personal and confidential information in litigation documents. Development uses Gemini Enterprise and feedback from the firm’s litigators. Attorneys retain responsibility for deciding which passages to obscure and whether a document is ready for court. Cooley already represents Google in litigation.
Cooley, a law firm that also represents Google in litigation, is developing an AI agent with Google Cloud for document redaction. The work uses Gemini Enterprise, Google’s enterprise AI platform. Redaction obscures sensitive passages in the version of a document that is shared.[1], [2]
The intended workflow identifies personal information, confidential technical material and other sensitive content in documents prepared for court. Cooley says attorneys remain responsible for deciding which passages should be redacted and whether a filing is ready. A system suggestion about confidentiality therefore goes to the legal team for a final decision.[1]
Cooley’s litigators are contributing feedback to the tool’s development. The firm is a launch partner, providing product direction drawn from document-review challenges in litigation. Cooley announced the collaboration on October 8. The firm has 19 offices across the United States, Asia and Europe and nearly 1400 lawyers; the agent is among several AI tools and workflows it is exploring. Ian Shapiro, who heads Cooley’s global litigation practice, and Google Cloud executive Satish Thomas discussed the collaboration.[1]
