Litera Launches Clean+ to Automate Metadata Security for Law Firms
Event summary
- Litera introduced Clean+, a cloud-hosted AI automation tool to remove metadata risks in law firm communications, replacing Metadact Server.
- Clean+ is available as a standalone package or included in Draft Advanced, Litera’s end-to-end AI drafting suite.
- The tool will be demonstrated at LegalTechTalk on June 17-18, 2026, in London, with general availability starting June 30, 2026.
- Clean+ is part of a broader consolidation of the Metadact line under the Clean brand, offering tiered protection for different deployment models.
The big picture
Litera’s Clean+ launch addresses the growing risk of metadata exposure as AI accelerates document generation in law firms. With 42% of the market already using its metadata cleaning engine (per ILTA Tech Survey, 2025), Litera is consolidating its position as a leader in legal AI automation. The shift to cloud-hosted solutions reflects broader industry trends toward reducing IT infrastructure burdens while enhancing security.
