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 consumed 40% of associate time. Finding relevant precedents required searching across multiple databases, often missing relevant cases from other jurisdictions. Quality of research depended heavily on individual experience.
Our Approach
We built 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 reduced 70%
- Cross-jurisdictional precedent discovery previously impossible manually
- Consistent research quality regardless of individual experience
- Associates reallocated to case strategy and client work
