# Legal Research & Brief Drafting for Corporate Attorneys

> AI drafts the research memo against the firm's prior work product, pulls current authority from iManage, and produces a cite-checked first draft of the brief — associate refines, doesn't start from zero.

## The Problem

Associates lose entire days in iManage hunting for M&A / Corporate Transactions case law that supports a narrow argument — and the final brief is still 70% boilerplate.

## What We Build

AI drafts the research memo against the firm's prior work product, pulls current authority from iManage, and produces a cite-checked first draft of the brief — associate refines, doesn't start from zero.

## How It Works

1. **Discovery call.** We map your current legal research & brief drafting process and identify where AI saves the most time.
2. **Build & integrate.** We build the workflow and connect it to the tools you already use — no software changes required.
3. **Review & refine.** You review the results, we fine-tune until it matches your standards, then it runs on autopilot.
