# Legal Research & Brief Drafting for Tax Attorneys

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

## The Problem

Associates lose entire days in Canopy hunting for Tax Controversy 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 Canopy, and produces a cite-checked first draft of the brief — associate refines, doesn't start from zero.
