Case Law Research & Precedent Discovery

70% reduction in research time

Client Context

A law firm specialising in commercial litigation with a library of 200,000+ case documents, statutes, and regulatory texts across multiple European jurisdictions.

The Challenge

Legal research consumes 40% of associate time. Finding relevant precedents requires searching across multiple databases, often missing relevant cases from other jurisdictions. Quality of research depends heavily on individual experience.

Our Approach

We build a RAG system that searches across all case documents and statutes, retrieves relevant precedents by factual pattern matching, ranks results by jurisdiction and recency, and generates structured research memos with citations. The system improves over time as lawyers provide relevance feedback.

Timeline: 18 weeks

The Results

  • Research time projected to fall by 70%
  • Cross-jurisdictional precedent discovery — previously impossible manually
  • Consistent research quality regardless of individual experience
  • Associates reallocated to case strategy and client work
