Law firms
AI for law firms.
Find the right evidence.
A contract, its amendments and supporting documents to review before a meeting. Initial IA helps you find relevant passages and prepare a verifiable summary from the firm’s authorised documents. The lawyer retains responsibility for analysis and advice.
For partners, associates and the people who manage the firm’s documentation.
Contracts, evidence, timelines.
Search that supports the case.
Start with the firm’s contracts, case files, correspondence and approved templates. An assistant can retrieve passages and prepare summaries with references. Define access by matter and team, and keep missing or unreadable documents visible as gaps.
01Find a clause across its versions
The client mentions an amendment, but the team is still working from the original contract.
Search authorised contracts for a provision, display the passage and compare two identified versions. Keep the document, date and version available so the reader can check the context.
The lawyer assesses the clause and the implications of the change.
02Prepare a case timeline
Events are scattered across attachments, correspondence and case notes.
Extract dates and events from the supplied documents into a table with a reference for each entry. Flag contradictions and uncertain dates for examination.
The team checks the selected facts, their sequence and any missing evidence.
03Reuse approved internal work
An associate is looking for an approved template among several older versions.
Find a relevant template or internal note and prepare an outline. Keep approved templates separate from past client matters and apply the firm’s access rules.
A professional reviews and adapts every document intended for a client.
A comparison the lawyer can verify.
Illustrative example: an associate prepares a meeting using a contract and its amendments.

Have the associate verify it
No legal conclusion or client communication without review. A document reference alone does not validate legal reasoning.
Start with a clearly defined search.
Choose one contract family or authorised matter, with questions the team can already answer. Use this reference set to assess citations, omissions and access controls before expanding.
- Search time including verification
- Accuracy of references
- Questions correctly left unanswered
What to prepare
- 01
An authorised collection, with versions to keep and versions to exclude.
- 02
Control questions, including some that the documents cannot answer.
- 03
Access rules for partners, associates and external contributors.
A tool to try.
Evidence to decide.
An assistant limited to the selected documents, answers with references and a record of omissions or errors. The firm can compare search and verification time with its current practice.
Proceed if the cited passages make verification faster, without omitting clauses or allowing access to an unauthorised matter.
From the business need
to the right tool.
The sector provides context. Each service sets out the project scope, deliverables and deployment conditions.
Before
you start.
01Can AI answer only from the firm’s documents?+
That is a possible scope: search authorised documents and cite the retrieved passages. Test this behaviour when the documents cannot answer the question too. A fluent answer still needs checking.
02Can matters and teams be kept separate?+
Access rights must apply both to search and to displaying sources, and be tested with several user profiles. Hiding a document in the interface is insufficient if its contents remain searchable.
03Do we need to replace the firm’s software?+
A pilot can start from an authorised document export. Connecting existing software depends on its interfaces, permissions and file formats. Check feasibility before planning synchronisation.
Which matter takes
too long to search?
Describe a recurring search, the types of documents and who may access them. We will identify useful documents and questions for a pilot. No client file is needed for this first conversation.
