When a deal is closing and a partner can’t find the precedent they need, nobody is discussing feature comparisons. They are explaining to the client why the firm is starting from scratch on work it has done before.
When lawyers can’t find what they need, many blame the search. But search reflects the quality of what’s underneath it, which is why AI profiling has the industry talking.
However, not all AI profiling is created equal. A model trained on generic legal documents and frozen at deployment will only get a firm so far — it cannot adapt to your matter types, your practice areas, or the way your lawyers actually describe work. The metadata gaps it leaves behind are cumulative and costly.
