Legal teams don't need another generic AI pitch. AI only earns its keep when it's built around the workflow a team actually runs on a wet Tuesday, and that's how we scope every engagement we take on in this space.
AI by industry · New Zealand & Australia
Where legal teams are already ahead of the curve.
Where AI is landing
Adoption is already ahead of the curve — Australia sits at 4.11× expected AI usage (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026). The teams that win turn that into one concrete, in-production workflow rather than a demo.

How we build AI for legal.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your team, so value lands before the build is finished.

Questions
FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Legal teams that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Anyone else in this space using AI?
Plenty. Adoption is already ahead of the curve — Australia sits at 4.11× expected AI usage (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026). The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What tools do you build AI on?
For AI we usually reach for First-pass contract review and summaries, Cited research over your matters, Qualify and intake new matters, Draft standard letters from templates. We're tool-agnostic at heart – we pick what your legal team team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
