GVA TECH Unifies Lawyer Support Services Under New “Benpal” Brand and Launches AI Advisory Service

GVA TECH Inc. (headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shun Yamamoto; hereinafter GVA TECH) announced that it will unify its lawyer support services, including the court-specialized AI system “AI Document Creation,” under the new “Benpal” brand series. Benpal website: https://benpal-legal.com/services/ GVA TECH officially released “AI Document Creation” and “Generative AI-Native Contract Review” in March 2026, and has continued expanding services specialized for legal practice. With this rebranding, the company is expanding beyond its existing service lineup into AI adoption support, internal system infrastructure support for law firms, and client acquisition and sales support. The services will be unified under the “Benpal” brand, designed to become a trusted “pal” for lawyers. At the same time, GVA TECH will launch a new service, “Benpal AI Advisory,” to support AI adoption tailored to the needs of each law firm. Going forward, the company plans to develop a broad range of services that support lawyers’ work, extending beyond individual tools to include client acquisition, AI utilization, information management, and operational framework development. Under the new naming structure, the brand name will be unified as “Benpal.” “AI Document Creation” will become “Benpal Document Creation,” “Generative AI-Native Contract Review” will become “Benpal Contract Review,” and the new “Benpal AI Advisory” service will be added. The background to the brand unification is the growing demand in Japan for legal consultation and representation from both companies and individuals, as social issues become increasingly complex and sophisticated. Although the number of lawyers is increasing, legal resources remain chronically constrained, making it difficult for lawyers to accept all cases and for society as a whole to receive sufficient legal support. To improve efficiency in litigation support and contract review, two areas that consume a particularly large amount of lawyers’ time, GVA TECH officially released “AI Document Creation” and “Generative AI-Native Contract Review” in March 2026, receiving strong market response. The company has now decided to unify the services under the “Benpal” series as it expands beyond individual tool provision into internal system infrastructure support and client acquisition and sales support for law firms. In the rapidly changing era of AI, GVA TECH aims to stand close to lawyers, support their daily practice and law firm operations, help build the future of law firms, and contribute to a society where legal support reaches every corner. The name “Benpal” combines the Japanese word for lawyer, “ben,” with “pal,” reflecting the concept of becoming a partner that walks alongside lawyers and law firms to improve and optimize every aspect of their work. The logo visualizes the company’s stance that in the legal field, where extremely high accuracy is required, advanced technology should not be a “cold machine,” but a reliable partner that lawyers can depend on at any time. “Benpal Document Creation” is a court-specialized AI system for lawyers that uses generative AI to support the creation of litigation-related documents such as complaints, answers, and briefs. It is designed to support the full process from evidence analysis to document drafting, significantly reducing the burden of reading, interpreting, and organizing evidence and case records in litigation practice.

Available as an application on Microsoft Word, it includes built-in review perspectives and risk judgment logic required for contract review, allowing lawyers to use it at practical business quality from day one without complex prompt engineering.

Many firms remain unable to experiment because questions such as how to use AI in their work, which tools fit their needs, and whether security is sufficient remain unresolved. The service provides hands-on support tailored to each firm’s situation, covering interviews, policy design, tool selection, trial verification, and staff rollout to achieve effective AI adoption.
