The starting point
Four lawyers spent their mornings re-reading standard contracts to spot a dozen sensitive clauses. The work was necessary, repetitive and resented.
What we did
Two days of workshop with the team to build a review assistant connected to their document base, then six weeks of support to fit it into the approval circuit.
What changed
The first read is produced automatically, annotated and checked by a lawyer. The time saved went back into client advice.
What we learned
Confidentiality was the real subject. The usage frame was written before the first line of automation.
“The question was not the technology. It was who stays accountable for the review. We settled that in the workshop.”
