Legal Research & Brief Drafting for Estate Planning Attorneys with WealthCounsel
Run legal research & brief drafting on autopilot inside WealthCounsel.
The Problem
Associates lose entire days in WealthCounsel hunting for Trusts & Estates case law that supports a narrow argument — and the final brief is still 70% boilerplate.
What We Build in WealthCounsel
AI drafts the research memo against the firm's prior work product, pulls current authority from WealthCounsel, and produces a cite-checked first draft of the brief — associate refines, doesn't start from zero. Purpose-built for teams running WealthCounsel — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in WealthCounsel with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
