What the AI did
Lawyers use a legal AI assistant to check and extract information from large document sets, compare terms across agreements, prepare disclosure lists and chronologies and produce first drafts.
The result
The firm estimates its lawyers spend 60% less time on tasks where they use the tool.
Check before trusting
The 60% is an estimate from one person at the firm, and every AI output still needs a solicitor's review under SRA rules.
