Cutting first-pass document review from days to hours
Problem. A regional law firm was losing junior associates to burnout. First-pass review of discovery documents was eating 40% of associate time and 0% of margin.
Approach. Built a retrieval-augmented document classifier with a human-in-the-loop review queue. Embedded into the existing matter management system. Eval harness built before the agent.
Outcome. First-pass review time down 78%. Associate satisfaction up. Realised margin per matter improved by 14 points within two quarters.
