Jessica had graduated top of her class at Columbia Law. Three years later, she was highlighting clauses at midnight, wondering if this was really what she'd signed up for.
The Challenge
Thompson & Associates had a retention crisis. Three junior associates quit in six months. "I didn't go $200,000 into debt to be a human Ctrl+F," one said in her exit interview. The work that drove them away? Reviewing contracts for missing clauses. Twenty hours a week of mind-numbing, error-prone, but absolutely critical work. Partners knew it was a problem. They just didn't have a solution.
The Solution
Our AI reads contracts the way a senior partner would—but in 3 minutes instead of 3 hours. It flags missing indemnification clauses. Catches inconsistent defined terms. Spots liability caps that don't match firm standards. And it explains why, so associates actually learn instead of just checking boxes.
The Outcome
Jessica is still at the firm. Last month, she argued her first motion in court. The week before, she helped close a $50M acquisition. The robot handles the highlighting now. Her billable hours are up. Her stress is down. And when partners ask how the firm's retention problem disappeared, the managing partner just smiles. "We stopped wasting talent on tasks that don't need talent."

"I called my mom last week and told her I finally feel like a lawyer. Not a paralegal. Not a machine. A lawyer. She cried."
