The problem

The math behind the manual work

74%

Of billable tasks in a law firm could be automated by AI, per Clio's analysis of tens of thousands of matters.

Clio, 2024
19 days

Average contract review cycle. A mid-market lawyer spends 3.2 hours per contract; 500 a year is ~200 working days of redlines.

EY Law / WCC
48%

Of small law firms are essentially unreachable. Only 1 in 3 answered emails; 2 in 5 answered the phone. A systems problem.

Where AI moves the needle

The systems that do the work

These are not generic chatbots or off-the-shelf legal software add-ons. Each system is built on your firm's workflows, templates, and matter types. Integrated with the tools you already use. Owned by you when we are done. No per-seat licenses. No vendor dependency.

01

AI contract drafting and review

Your lawyers stop drafting contracts from scratch and stop spending three-plus hours per redline. The AI drafts from your firm's own templates, flags non-standard clauses against your playbook, and surfaces risk before your attorney ever opens the document. Review time drops from hours to minutes.

  • First-draft contracts generated from matter notes and intake data
  • Non-standard clause flagging against your firm's contract playbook
  • Redline summaries that highlight what actually needs partner attention
  • Cuts average contract cycle time from weeks to days
02

Legal document drafting and assembly

Eliminates the copy-paste document workflows that eat associate time. The AI pulls from your approved template library, populates matter-specific details from your practice management system, and produces a first draft before anyone sits down to type. Associates review and finalize. Partners stop getting pulled into routine drafting.

  • Documents assembled from your firm's approved templates
  • Populated automatically from matter and client data
  • Covers engagement letters, NDAs, motions, demand letters, and more
  • Integrates with Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, and most major practice management systems
03

AI-powered client intake and conflict checking

Every inbound inquiry, whether by phone, email, or web form, is handled by an AI intake agent that captures the right information, runs a conflict check against your existing client list, and routes the matter to the right attorney. No more unreturned calls. No more dropped leads. No more intake forms that sit in an inbox for two days.

  • Captures matter type, facts, urgency, and contact details automatically
  • Conflict check run against your client and matter database
  • Routes to the right attorney based on practice area and availability
  • Sends the prospective client a confirmation and next steps immediately
04

Matter coordination and deadline automation

Keeps every open matter moving without your attorneys having to chase it. Deadline reminders go out automatically. Document requests are sent to clients and opposing counsel on schedule. Status updates reach clients before they pick up the phone to ask. Your team focuses on the legal work. The system handles the coordination.

  • Automated deadline and milestone tracking across all open matters
  • Document request sequences sent to clients and third parties
  • Client status updates that run on a schedule you control
  • Integrates with your practice management system and document storage

Corporate law firm · 50+ attorneys · 200+ contracts/month

We were turning contracts around in three weeks and losing business because of it. Clients were going to firms that moved faster. Tiger Tail built us a system that handles intake, drafts the first version, and flags the clauses that actually need a lawyer. Our team reviews and approves. We went from 21 days to 4 days and our clients noticed immediately.

FAQ

Common questions

How do you handle client confidentiality?

We deploy systems on infrastructure you control or on enterprise AI providers that are SOC 2 Type II compliant, GDPR compliant, and contractually prohibited from training on your data. We sign NDAs and data processing agreements before any work begins, and we can work entirely within your existing data residency requirements. Your client data does not leave your environment.

What about bar compliance and ABA ethics rules?

We are familiar with ABA Formal Opinion 512 and the relevant duties of competence, confidentiality, and supervision that apply when using AI in legal practice. Every system we build keeps a licensed attorney in the review and approval loop. AI drafts and flags. Your lawyers decide. Nothing goes out without human sign-off.

Is this just document automation software we could buy off the shelf?

No. Off-the-shelf tools are built for the average firm. We build custom systems tailored to your matter types, your clause library, your templates, and your intake process. You own the system when we are done. There is no per-seat license that grows with your headcount and no vendor that can change the product on you.

Will this work with our current practice management system?

Most likely yes. We build integrations with Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Actionstep, and most major practice management platforms. We connect to your existing system rather than replacing it so your team does not have to relearn anything or run two systems in parallel.

How much does it cost?

The AI Gameplan diagnostic is $5,000 for four weeks of discovery and scoping. Implementation engagements are priced during the Gameplan based on what we are building together. We bill month-to-month with discounts for longer commitments. The intro call is free. We will tell you straight if the numbers do not make sense for your firm size and matter volume.
