Paralegal time is the bottleneck on matter progression. The shape of a conveyancing bundle, a discovery pack or a contract-review triage is consistent across files; the evidence is not. That is the seam where software wins.
Mid-tier firms with 50 to 300 fee-earners carry a back office that has quietly become the most expensive part of the firm per recovered hour. The April 2025 cost shock landed there, not on the partner floor. Technology spend has already happened - practice management, a document store, Microsoft 365, time-recording - and it is well understood. What is missing is the specific piece of software that sits on top of that stack and does one repeatable workflow end-to-end, under supervision.
AWorkflows we build here
- 01 Conveyancing matter bundleIngest title registers, searches, ID evidence, survey PDFs and client correspondence. Produce a structured matter pack with cited sources, a redline of adverse entries, and a paralegal review queue keyed to risk.
- 02 Discovery / disclosure packAcross a matter inbox and document store, extract a dated timeline with parties, amounts and counterparties. Privileged content flagged; a narrative brief with footnoted citations goes to the partner.
- 03 Contract review triageA rules engine against the firm's playbook with an LLM layer to explain deviations in-context. Green-lit clauses auto-progress; flagged clauses route to a named lawyer with the precedent reference attached.
- 04 Precedent & matter searchNatural-language search over the firm's own closed matters, precedent bank and SOPs. Every answer cited back to the source document, with partner-level permissions respected.

Privilege is the hard constraint. Matter data does not leave the firm, prompts and documents are never used for model training, and every synthesised artefact cites back to the source document with partner-level permissions preserved. SRA Standards and Regulations, LPPA, and the usual data-minimisation register apply - but privilege is the one we over-engineer for. How we work →
