As a lawyer working on government contracts, I find that Artificial Intelligence is crucial in streamlining my work process. AI is particularly helpful in managing the vast amount of paperwork I receive from clients and in legal discovery. With its assistance, I can quickly identify, locate, organize, summarize, review, and prepare a memorandum on the contents of the documents. This allows me to advise my clients on the importance of the information contained within them.
AI-powered legal research tools enable me to summarize critical elements of cases and decisions, such as fact patterns, legal conclusions, and court rulings. These tools let me search large databases and gather relevant data, precedents, laws, regulations, statutes, and case law for specific jurisdictions quickly.
AI assistance helps me and other counsel determine the potential value of a case and predict the outcome of a particular matter. Predictive coding can also analyze relevant data and information and help identify potential risks in existing or threatened litigation. This can lead to more informed decisions and better risk assessments for counsel and clients.
AI-based document management software can enable me to store and organize legal files, including case files, contracts, electronic communications, etc. AI-based organizations can facilitate and expedite locating, maintaining, and safeguarding critical documents and information.
So, as you can see, AI allows me to perform tasks previously performed by newly minted lawyers, experienced paralegals, and numerous litigation support firms. Time for the tasks is dramatically reduced, and the expense savings is astronomical.
To say nothing of the fact that I have 50 years of management and litigation experience, work efficiently and responsively, and for compensation about the same as an experienced paralegal. Why? Very low overhead and an ethic to deliver value to clients big and small.
