Arivu review
A Microsoft-centered system for finding precedents and drafting from firm knowledge.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Arivu is a legal AI and knowledge-management system for law firms and in-house legal teams that organize work in Microsoft 365 and SharePoint. It searches institutional knowledge, retrieves precedents from archived and current matter files, analyzes matter history, and supports drafting and review in Word and Outlook. Its Microsoft-centered design makes it particularly relevant for teams already working with SharePoint, Microsoft Entra ID, Teams, Outlook, and related services.
Knowledge retrieval is the product’s central strength. Semantic indexing supports searches across SharePoint-based legal content, while matter synthesis can combine private firm data with CourtListener records. Automatic indexing of documents saved to matter folders helps keep the searchable knowledge base connected to ongoing work. Source hyperlinks provide a way to verify AI-generated summaries and answers, and permission-aware retrieval uses Microsoft Entra ID and SharePoint controls to align results with existing access permissions.
Arivu also extends retrieval into legal drafting and review. In Word, it offers precedent-aware drafting and clause suggestions, while native redlining and deviation detection compare documents with firm templates. Integrations with Microsoft Graph API, Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Purview, and CourtListener broaden its platform and source connections. Pricing is handled through contact sales rather than published plan tiers, so the product is best suited to teams evaluating a Microsoft-based knowledge workflow with a vendor briefing. Organizations seeking semantic search, precedent reuse, and drafting assistance inside Microsoft 365 should consider Arivu; teams outside that ecosystem may find its Microsoft orientation less suitable.
