Law firms are built on billable hours and expertise. AI won’t replace either — but it will eliminate the unbillable grunt work that keeps attorneys from doing what they’re best at.

The Privacy-First Approach

Legal work demands confidentiality. Every tool I recommend for law firms has been evaluated for data security, privilege protection, and ethics compliance. No client data goes to general-purpose AI models.

  1. Research acceleration — AI-powered case law and statute research that cuts research time by 70%

  3. Drafting assistance — First drafts of standard documents, motions, and correspondence
  4. Client intake funnel — Automated qualification, information gathering, and scheduling

Legal AI FAQ

Is AI reliable enough for legal work? +

For research and first drafts, absolutely. AI doesn't replace attorney judgment — it accelerates the work that leads to judgment. Every AI output should be reviewed, but starting from an 80% complete draft saves enormous time.

What about attorney-client privilege and AI? +

I only recommend AI tools built specifically for legal work with appropriate confidentiality safeguards. We'll configure everything to maintain privilege and comply with your jurisdiction's ethics requirements.

Will AI replace paralegals? +

No, but it will make them significantly more productive. A paralegal with AI tools can handle the document review volume that previously required 3-4 people. The role evolves from manual review to AI-assisted quality control.

How do I justify AI costs to partners? +

ROI is straightforward. If a tool saves 1 hour of attorney time per day at $300/hour, that's $6,000+/month in recovered billable time. Most AI tools cost $200-500/month. The math sells itself.
