Law Firms
Contract review, discovery, intake, and compliance monitoring
Associate hours spent on first-pass review are the easiest hours to automate and the worst hours to keep billing. Agents handle the legwork so your lawyers spend time on the actual argument.
What's broken today
- Associates buried in first-pass contract review, redlining, and clause comparisons
- Discovery document triage eats weeks before real analysis starts
- New-matter intake takes 30+ minutes and conflict checks still get missed
- Weekly matter-status updates to clients get skipped when things get busy
- Court deadlines and filing obligations live in a paralegal's spreadsheet
What automates
- Contract-redline agent — evaluates incoming contracts against your firm's playbook, proposes specific counter-language for problematic clauses, cites precedent from past deals
- Discovery-triage agent — reviews document productions, tags responsive vs. non-responsive, surfaces hot documents and privilege candidates for attorney review
- Matter-intake agent — interviews prospective clients conversationally, writes the matter summary, runs conflicts against your database, drafts the engagement letter
- Deposition-prep agent — synthesizes key facts, timeline, and relevant exhibits into a briefing doc; identifies likely impeachment evidence
- Matter-status agent — drafts weekly client updates from billing entries, email threads, and filings; saves 2+ partner hours per matter
- Docket-and-deadline agent — pulls court filings, extracts deadlines, creates calendar entries with prep lead-time alerts; regulatory change monitoring for client industries
What you get back
- First-pass contract review time cut 60–70%
- Discovery review throughput up 3–5×
- Partner utilization shifts 10–15 points toward billable work
- Missed-deadline exposure near zero
- Client-responsiveness (status cadence, update quality) becomes a competitive advantage
In practice
A 25-attorney firm cut first-pass contract review time by 62% and caught three missed indemnity clauses in one quarter.
