OUR WORK/AI-LEGAL
LEGAL · EXAMPLE CASEAI-Legal
An example case for a mid-sized legal advisory firm: an AI assistant in six modules that takes over the groundwork — from contract review and due diligence to case law research and business development.
From 4 hours of contract review to 30 minutesTHE CHALLENGE
Expensive advisory hours,
eaten up by groundwork.
A legal advisory firm — around 45 employees, eight to ten lawyers and partners, specialising in corporate, contract and employment law — loses its most expensive hours to repetitive work. A contract review takes three to four hours of manual reading and marking up, a due diligence process eight to ten hours of sorting and summarising, and case law research another two to three hours of searching databases. Partners thus spend 30 to 40 percent of their time on groundwork instead of advice.
That also weighs on quality and speed. Checklists aren’t applied consistently and the result depends on the experience of the individual lawyer: five to eight percent of case files go back for rework. Clients wait two to three weeks for a first advice — while competitors can be faster. And the firm’s knowledge sits mainly in the heads of partners, so juniors reinvent the wheel and leads from trade fairs are barely followed up.
- 01Contract review, due diligence and case law: hours of manual work per case file
- 02Quality depends on the individual lawyer — 5–8% of case files go back for rework
- 03First advice only after 2–3 weeks; clients turn to faster competitors
- 04Knowledge sits in partners’ heads — juniors reinvent the wheel
OUR APPROACH
The AI does the groundwork,
the lawyer stays in charge.
- 01 · INSIGHT
Hours analysed
Mapped out per area of law where the time really goes — from review and due diligence to research and client communication — and where errors and delays arise.
- 02 · FOCUS
Introduced in phases
Integration with the case management system, then a pilot of contract review with three or four lawyers, and only then the roll-out of all modules — to full use in around four months.
- 03 · ADOPTION
Lawyer remains accountable
Every output is a draft: the AI reads, sorts and proposes, the lawyer reviews and signs. That keeps professional responsibility where it belongs.
THE SOLUTION
One AI assistant,
six modules.
Each module takes over a piece of groundwork: upload, and fifteen minutes to a few hours later there is a draft — the lawyer checks, sharpens and advises.
Due diligence assistant
Processes sets of 30–50 documents: categorises automatically, highlights key points and issues and builds a searchable index of the entire case file.
Case law research
Linked to rechtspraak.nl and case law databases: finds relevant rulings, summarises facts, legal question and judgment and builds a precedent map per case.
Advice templates & checklists
First drafts per case type and automatic checklists per area of law — consistent quality, no missed points and faster onboarding of juniors.
Client communications
Drafts for emails and letters in correct legal language, with automatic follow-up steps in the timeline and reminders for deadlines.
Business development
Analyses the client portfolio, generates pitch decks for target clients and monitors the follow-up of leads — good for three to five new clients per year.
THE RESULT
More advisory hours,
without extra lawyers.
Groundwork drastically shortened
Contract review from 4 hours to 30 minutes, due diligence from 10 to 3 hours and case law research 80% more efficient — partners go from 60% to 80% availability for billable advisory work.
Faster and more accurate
The first advice is ready within 3–5 days instead of 2–3 weeks, while the error rate drops from 5–8% to 1%.
Growth with the same team
+35% caseload without extra lawyers and 15–18 new clients per year: an estimated €400–500k in additional revenue, with an investment that pays for itself in 2–3 months.
