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
Moftah estimates the firm's lawyers now spend 60% less time across all the tasks for which they use CoCounsel. Mass document reviews are now around four times faster, while lawyers can typically save three to four hours on report or timeline creation.
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.
