Your attorneys bill 1,900 hours a year. Too many of those hours are admin.

Any workflow that follows a consistent pattern and doesn't require attorney judgment at every step. Document drafting is the obvious one. Most firms use the same base agreements, motions, and letters repeatedly, with variables swapped in from matter data. The system drafts from your approved template, populates it with client and matter details, and routes it for attorney review. In a typical firm, a high-volume document like an NDA or engagement letter moves from roughly 30 minutes of manual assembly to a few minutes of review. Client intake is another strong candidate: structured forms that collect what your team actually needs, route the matter to the right attorney, and trigger the conflict check automatically. Deadline tracking belongs in a system with escalating reminders, never a spreadsheet. Billing capture, time tracking, and invoice generation are also worth automating, because imprecision there leaks real revenue.

Yes. Most legal automation work we do sits on top of existing systems rather than replacing them. We integrate with Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Filevine, NetDocuments, iManage, and most systems with an API. We also integrate with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for document generation and email-based triggers. The goal is automation that works within tools your team already uses, not another system they have to remember to open. If you're running something non-standard or proprietary, we assess integration feasibility before the engagement starts.

Document drafting automation generates the first draft, populated from your approved template library and the matter's data record. Every generated document goes to an attorney for review before it leaves the building. The automation removes the assembly work, not the judgment. Document assembly is deterministic: a template plus variables, so the output is predictable and auditable. Pulling structured data out of inbound documents (a signed contract, a filed order, a scanned exhibit) is a different job that uses intelligent document processing, where extraction is AI-assisted and every field routes to a human for confirmation. For high-volume types like NDAs, engagement letters, and demand letters, a document that took roughly 30 minutes to assemble by hand becomes a few minutes of review. We also build clause libraries so attorneys insert pre-approved language instead of drafting from scratch each time.

Legal data is among the most sensitive we work with, and we treat it accordingly. Every system we build uses encrypted storage and transit, strict role-based access controls, and full audit logging, who accessed what matter data and when. We design for attorney-client privilege protection by ensuring that data access patterns match your firm's actual role structure. For firms with specific compliance requirements, including state bar rules on data residency or handling, we scope those requirements in the discovery phase before any build commitment is made.

Cost depends on the scope and complexity of the workflows being automated. Most firms start with one area: a first workflow such as document drafting automation or client intake typically runs from $25,000 to $60,000. From there it grows. A full platform covering intake, matter management, deadline tracking, and billing runs from $60,000 to $150,000. We lock the price in writing before development starts. No open-ended retainers, no invoices that swell during the project.

We frame the first date as a validated v1, not the finished platform. A focused workflow, such as automated intake or document generation for one practice area, can launch as a working v1 in 6 to 8 weeks, then grow. A multi-workflow system covering intake, matter management, and billing typically reaches its first production release in 12 to 16 weeks. We set the timeline in writing at the start of the project alongside the fixed price.
