An AI assistant that saves 10+ hours of paralegal work every week.
A personal-injury firm was carrying its paralegal workload by hand: document review and deadline tracking, slow and risky where one missed deadline can sink a case. We automated the repetitive half and gave the hours back.

The challenge
Document review and deadline tracking ran on manual effort: every inbound document read by hand, every filing date tracked by hand. Slow and costly in a practice where a single missed deadline can sink a case, with the firm's paralegal capacity absorbed by paperwork instead of casework.
What we built
An AI assistant that absorbed the repetitive half of the paralegal workflow. It ingests inbound documents and automatically extracts filing deadlines, key facts, and case-critical detail, taking 10+ hours a week of manual review off the firm's plate. Built on Anvil's document-intelligence and extraction engine.
“It handles the work our paralegals used to lose their days to, faster, and it never misses a deadline.”

Why it worked
The firm didn't need a generic legal-tech subscription; it needed its specific workflow understood and automated. We diagnosed the operation, pointed proven Anvil modules at the firm's documents, and shipped a working assistant in weeks. Production, not a pilot.
