Featured AI Solutions for Legal Practices

Purpose-built AI solutions for Australian law firms — from contract analysis to document automation. Designed to integrate with the practice management tools you already use.

📋 AI Contract Review & Analysis

Contract review is one of the highest-value, most time-intensive tasks in legal practice. Our AI contract review system reads, analyses, and reports on contracts in minutes — work that traditionally takes junior lawyers hours or days. It doesn’t replace legal judgment; it supercharges it by ensuring nothing is missed.

How It Works:

  1. Upload & Parse — Upload any contract (PDF, Word, scanned) and the AI extracts all clauses, parties, dates, obligations, and defined terms. It understands Australian legal language and common clause structures.
  2. Risk Flagging — The system compares each clause against your firm’s risk matrix and templates. It flags unusual indemnities, unlimited liability exposure, non-standard termination rights, unfavourable IP assignments, and one-sided penalty clauses.
  3. Obligation Extraction — Automatically identifies and catalogues all obligations, deadlines, renewal dates, and notice periods into a structured timeline. Never miss a critical date again.
  4. Comparison & Benchmarking — Compare a proposed contract against your firm’s standard templates or previous versions, highlighting every deviation with a severity rating.
  5. Summary Report — Generates a plain-English executive summary of key risks, unusual terms, and recommended negotiation points — ready to share with clients or senior partners.

Common Use Cases in AU Firms: Commercial lease reviews, employment contracts, NDAs and confidentiality agreements, supplier/vendor agreements, franchise agreements, and construction contracts under AS 4000 series.

Australian Software Integration: Works alongside LEAP, Actionstep, and Smokeball — the three dominant legal practice management platforms in Australia. Documents can be pulled directly from your matter files and results pushed back as file notes.

AI contract review and analysis for law firms

💡 Real-World Scenario

A 12-partner commercial law firm in Sydney’s CBD was spending an average of 4-6 hours per lease review. After deploying AI contract analysis, first-pass reviews now take 20 minutes, with the AI flagging an average of 8 risk items per contract that warrant senior attention. The firm increased lease review throughput by 300% and reduced write-offs on fixed-fee matters by 40%. Junior lawyers now spend their time on high-value negotiation strategy rather than clause-by-clause reading.

AI legal document automation and drafting

💡 Real-World Scenario

A conveyancing practice handling 80+ settlements per month automated their standard document packages — Section 32 vendor statements, contracts of sale, transfer documents, and adjustment sheets. What previously required a paralegal 45 minutes per transaction now takes 5 minutes of AI-assisted generation plus a 10-minute lawyer review. The firm handles 40% more settlements with the same team and reduced document errors to near zero.

📝 Legal Document Automation & AI Drafting

Document drafting consumes up to 40% of a lawyer’s billable time. Our AI document automation system generates accurate first drafts of standard legal documents in minutes, drawing from your firm’s templates, precedents, and matter data. It handles the heavy lifting so your lawyers can focus on the nuances that require expertise.

How It Works:

  1. Smart Intake — Client information is captured through structured intake forms or extracted from existing matter data in your practice management system. The AI understands what information is needed for each document type.
  2. Intelligent Drafting — The AI selects the appropriate template, populates all fields, and makes contextual decisions — choosing the right clauses based on transaction type, jurisdiction, and client instructions. It’s not simple mail merge; it’s contextual document assembly.
  3. Clause Library — Maintains your firm’s approved clause library with variations for different scenarios. The AI selects and combines clauses intelligently based on the matter context.
  4. Quality Check — Before delivery, the AI runs consistency checks — ensuring defined terms are used correctly, cross-references are accurate, dates align, and no required sections are missing.
  5. Version Control — All drafts are versioned and tracked, with a complete audit trail of changes from template to final document.

Document Types: Wills and estates documents, conveyancing packages, employment contracts and workplace policies, commercial leases, shareholder agreements, NDAs, loan agreements, and powers of attorney.

Australian Software Integration: Integrates with LEAP, Actionstep, Smokeball, and FilePro. Also connects with InfoTrack and GlobalX for automated conveyancing searches and lodgement.

Data Security & Client Confidentiality

For law firms, data security is not just best practice — it is a professional obligation. Legal professional privilege, client confidentiality, and ethical duties demand that sensitive information receives the highest level of protection. This is precisely why we deploy AI automation as a self-hosted solution.

Unlike cloud-based AI services where your data may be processed by third parties, our AI platform operates entirely within your firm’s infrastructure. Client files, case notes, and privileged communications are processed locally, ensuring complete control over your data. This approach satisfies the most stringent requirements of the Law Society of New South Wales and aligns with Australian Privacy Principles.

As part of our managed IT services, we also implement comprehensive cybersecurity measures to protect your AI automation environment. See how our approach applies across industries, including AI automation for accounting and AI automation for real estate.
