TribuneLegal drafting agent Hours to minutes
A fee proposal used to take hours from a blank page, and now it takes minutes.
The ask
A top São Paulo law firm runs on knowledge that lives in its partners: how the firm prices this kind of work, which clause it has used before, what the firm's way of drafting actually is. Fifteen years of it sat scattered across seventeen partners, personal inboxes and local drives, and the firm wanted all of it turned into one base any lawyer could ask, without one client's matter ever touching another's.
The firm already knew the answer. It just could not find it.
The precedent is the firm
A law firm's real asset is its own paper: every fee proposal, every draft, every opinion it has written. None of it was in one place, so a proposal the firm had effectively written ten times got written again from a blank page, from whatever precedents one lawyer happened to keep.
The walls are sacred
A law firm keeps hard walls between matters that can never be crossed. Any intelligence over the firm's work has to respect the barrier before it reads a single line.
A client's email comes back as a proposal in the firm's own hand.
The flow
The agent takes the request as it arrives, a transcript, an email, a message, and reads it against the firm's whole archive of past proposals. It drafts in the firm's letterhead, fonts and clause structure, recommends a fee model, and cites the precedent behind each option. It asks only the questions it cannot infer.
It reaches into the work
It reads the lawyer's inbox, pulls from the firm's document system, and the agents on the roadmap, one of them a consolidator of contract drafts, talk to each other through the same connectors. The firm decides; the agent prepares the decision.
Every answer carries the proposal, the clause or the opinion it came from.
It learns the firm, and the firm still signs.
Behind their walls
It runs on the firm's own work, inside the firm, and a matter a lawyer is walled off from never surfaces for them. Skills are locked, one key-holder sets them, and a lawyer runs the agent without ever editing it.
“We have to have a system the user cannot destroy. Today I can take my skill and wreck it. Ours has to be locked, with one person holding the key to the safe.”
It gets sharper
Every proposal it drafts re-seeds the base, so the firm's own way of pricing and drafting sharpens with each piece of work it sees.
For a proposal in the firm's exact format, with the precedent behind every option.
The hours a partner spent drafting from a blank page become minutes, and the standard of the best partner is there for everyone, every time. A seven-person core practice produces at the scale of a far larger firm, and the know-how that used to leave with each lawyer stays in the base.
