How a Law Firm Cut Review Time from 40 Hours to 6

A mid-size law firm was struggling with the time it took to review contracts. We built a way to handle the first pass automatically, so lawyers could focus on the hard work.

The Problem

Junior lawyers were spending 40 hours a week reading through basic contracts. They were just looking for standard issues and pulling out key dates and names.

"We were charging clients for work that shouldn't take a lawyer's time," the managing partner told us. "It was creating a bottleneck, and our team was burning out on boring work."

  • Lawyers were stuck doing repetitive reading.
  • Clients were unhappy with high bills for routine work.
  • Partners were waiting too long for first-pass reviews.

What We Did

We built a system that reads the contracts as soon as they arrive. It pulls out the important terms, flags any risky wording, and writes a summary. Now, lawyers start with a finished first pass and only have to review the details.

The Fix

  • 1
    Connected systems
    The system handles documents automatically as they are uploaded.
  • 2
    Automatic flagging
    Built checks for their specific firm standards to catch issues instantly.
  • 3
    Better workflow
    Lawyers now spend their time on legal strategy instead of boilerplate.
"The system handles the boring first pass, and our team focuses on judgment calls. We finish in 6 hours instead of 40. Our lawyers are happier doing actual legal analysis."
