Use Legal Search with the Oro agent

How to use the Oro agent's Legal Search to ask legal questions about more than 230 countries and get sourced answers?

Access to Legal Search depends on your organization's plan. All members of the organization (except external guests) can use it when it is available. For any question about its availability, contact your account manager.

Legal Search is a feature of the Oro agent, Tomorro's AI, that lets you ask legal questions covering over 230 countries directly in Tomorro and get structured, verifiable, and sourced answers, without leaving your contract workflow.

Oro searches open, verified legal sources: regulations, case law, and public legal doctrine across more than 230 countries, totaling over 15,000 sources and 35 million documents, and cites the sources used alongside each answer.

For French law, for example:

  • Légifrance

  • Journal Officiel

  • Cour de cassation

  • Conseil d'État

  • Conseil constitutionnel

For legal teams that regularly handle legal questions, Legal Search can save over 12 hours per month by replacing manual searches across scattered tools.

Activate Legal Search

Legal Search is available from Oro in the CLM and from the Tomorro Word add-in. It is activated directly from the Oro chat:

  • Open the Oro chat: click Chat in the side menu, or the Open chat icon at the top of a page

  • Click the + button (Add actions) in the input field, then Legal Search, and select up to 3 countries

  • Ask your question: Oro automatically switches to Legal Search mode

You don't need to select a country: legal search is already active for all countries, and Oro uses it on its own when your question requires it. Choose one or more countries only to target a jurisdiction.

Once countries are selected, Legal Search stays active for the current conversation: the selection is reset when you start a new conversation.

📌 To use Legal Search in Word, see Use the Tomorro add-in in Microsoft Word.


Ask a legal question

With Legal Search activated, Oro systematically uses legal search for your legal questions. Ask your question in natural language in the Oro chat:

  • Type your question in Oro's input field

  • Specify the country or jurisdiction concerned in your question

  • Send your message

  • Oro displays a dedicated progress state that details the steps of the search (analysis of the question, identification of relevant legal sources, search of case law, drafting of the summary)

💡 Always specify the jurisdiction. Explicitly indicate the country concerned in your question (for example "under German law" or "according to Spanish law"). If the jurisdiction is unclear, Oro asks you to specify it before launching the search. If you have selected countries, Oro limits its search to those countries.

  • The answer appears in the chat with its sources and suggested follow-up questions

Example questions:

  • "What are the conditions for a non-compete clause to be valid under German law for an employee?"

  • "Compare the regime for the warranty against hidden defects under French, Spanish, and Italian law."

  • "What is the most recent case law on force majeure under French law, and what are its practical implications?"

  • "What data retention obligations apply to a SaaS provider in Brazil?"


Understand sourced answers

Every Legal Search response comes with verifiable references from legal databases.
​

The sources used are displayed alongside the answer as a "X source(s)" indicator, only when Oro has relied on at least one truly consultable document. If no consultable source was used, no source is displayed.
​


The cited sources allow you to:

  • verify answers directly on official websites (Légifrance, Journal Officiel, courts' websites, etc.)

  • share reliable references with your teams or clients

  • base your contractual decisions on up-to-date legislation

Oro automatically suggests follow-up questions after each answer to help you go deeper without losing the context of your conversation.


Current limitations

Legal Search currently has the following limitations:

  • Web app: Legal Search is used from the global Oro agent, not from the chat tied to a specific contract

  • Access subject to activation: the feature is not available for all accounts; it must be enabled beforehand

  • Paid legal doctrine not covered: legal doctrine available only through paid subscriptions (LexisNexis, Dalloz, etc.) is not included; only doctrine published in official, freely accessible journals is consulted
