Legal Research Co-Pilot

AI-powered case law search with automatic citation generation

Research Costs Are Destroying Profitability

Associates spend 10-15 hours per brief searching through Westlaw and LexisNexis, burning through subscription costs and billable hours. Manual citation formatting adds 2-3 hours per document. Junior attorneys struggle to assess case relevance, leading to weak arguments and missed precedents. Large firms spend $50K-100K annually per attorney on research database subscriptions with questionable ROI.
