AI for legal teams: faster review, same judgement.

Legal work is text at scale — which makes it a natural fit for language models, and a dangerous one if outputs aren’t verifiable. The pattern that works: AI finds, compares and drafts; lawyers verify every point against the source.

Use cases

Playbook-based contract review

Compare incoming contracts with your positions and flag deviations with suggested redlines.

Clause and precedent search

Find how you handled a clause before, across thousands of documents.

Obligation extraction

Pull dates, renewals, notice periods and obligations into a register.

First drafts

Draft standard documents from templates and matter data for lawyer review.

Matter summaries

Summarise correspondence and documents so new team members get up to speed.

Due diligence support

Review data rooms for specified issues, with citations for each finding.

Flagship use case: contract review against a playbook

Your team knows which positions are acceptable. Encoding that playbook and letting AI apply it to incoming contracts — flagging deviations with exact quotes and suggested fall-backs — turns first-pass review into verification.
