This article talks about AI for law firms and legal teams.
“Document review is killing our margins.”
We hear this from legal teams every week.
They’re billing upwards of $400+ per hour,
but associates spend 6 hours reviewing contracts that should take 90 minutes.
Meanwhile, clients are demanding faster turnarounds without paying premium rates.
Here’s how top legal teams are solving this problem with AI without compromising accuracy or confidentiality.
Use Case #1: Document Review
The Problem:
- You receive 47 documents to review before Friday. Each 20+ pages.
- Using traditional methods, that’s 3 weeks of work that you have to do in 3 days.
The Old Way:
- Print everything.
- Highlight key clauses.
- Create summary documents.
- Cross-reference with firm templates.
- Bill 6 hours per contract.
The OpenCraft Way:
- Upload all contracts.
- Ask specific questions like “What are the liability caps in each agreement?”
- or “Which contracts have unusual termination clauses?”
- Get precise answers with exact page references in minutes, not hours.
The Result:
- Complete contract review in 8 hours instead of 3 weeks.
- Spot critical liability issues that could cost clients millions in risk / exposure and legal issues.
Use Case #2: Quick Legal Research
The Problem: You’re researching precedents for a motion, but every case database search returns 847 “relevant” cases. You need the 3-4 cases that actually matter for your specific argument.
The Old Way: Spend 12 hours reading through cases, hoping to find relevant precedents. Bill the client for research time.
The OpenCraft Way: Upload your case files and relevant statutes. Ask “Which cases support X argument in Y jurisdiction?” Get specific case citations with exact reasoning that applies to your situation.
The Result: Cut legal research time from days to hours. Find better legal precedents / judgements because you can analyze more cases faster.
Use Case #3: Compliance Monitoring
The Problem: Regulatory requirements change monthly. Your compliance team needs to track updates across hundreds of documents to ensure your company stays within guidelines.
The Old Way: Manually review regulatory updates. Create comparison documents. Hope you catch every relevant change before an audit.
The OpenCraft Way: Upload all compliance documents. Ask “What changed in the new regulations compared to the previous version?” or “Do our current policies comply with the updated requirements?”
The Result: Proactive compliance instead of reactive damage control. Catch regulatory changes before they become violations.
Use Case #4: Due Diligence
The Problem:
- Due diligence requires reviewing thousands of documents under tight deadlines.
- You need to identify risks, but there’s no time to read everything thoroughly.
The Old Way:
- Divide documents among associates.
- Create endless spreadsheets.
- Miss critical details because humans can’t process that much information accurately.
The OpenCraft Way:
- Upload all the data.
- Ask targeted questions like “What litigation risks exist?”
- or “Are there any unusual employment agreements?”
- Get comprehensive answers that you can easily read and share with document references.
The Result:
- Complete due diligence faster with better accuracy.
- Identify risks that traditional review methods might miss.
