LegalTech Solutions Automated Contract Review Using Generative AI
Legal Services
50-200 Employees
London, UK
Background
LegalTech Solutions is a mid-sized law firm specializing in corporate real estate. Their associates spent thousands of hours annually manually reviewing lease agreements and vendor contracts. This work was repetitive, prone to human error due to fatigue, and prevented junior lawyers from focusing on higher-value litigation strategies. They possessed a massive archive of historical contracts but had no way to leverage that data effectively.
The challenges
The firm was facing burnout among junior associates and client complaints regarding the turnaround time for simple contract reviews. The Managing Partner wanted to implement AI but was concerned about data privacy and “hallucinations” common in public AI models. They needed a secure, private system that could read a PDF contract and instantly answer questions like “Is there a termination clause?” or “What are the liability limits?” citing specific page numbers.
“We were skeptical about AI in law, but this system acts like a senior partner looking over every document. It highlights risks we might have missed and does it in seconds rather than hours.“

The Solution
We developed a secure, internal RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) tool using Python, LangChain, and OpenAI’s API.
The Result
The firm deployed the tool to 20 associates for beta testing and immediately saw a transformation in their workflow.
