Your firm loses hundreds of hours a year searching | Fransué

The Tuesday that repeats itself

It's 10 a.m. and one of your associates has spent forty minutes looking for a precedent he knows exists. He read it three weeks ago — it's on the tip of his tongue, but it won't surface. Two cubicles over, a junior lawyer is paging through two hundred pages of a contract to check that nothing conflicts with the latest tax reform. In your office, three due-diligence folders have been sitting since Friday. Not for lack of talent — you have plenty. What you lack is time.

I've seen that scene play out dozens of times. And the question almost no one stops to ask is simple: what does it cost your firm when a professional who bills $300,000 an hour spends half their day searching instead of thinking?

What changes when you stop searching and start deciding

Imagine that associate describing what he needs — the way he'd talk to a colleague with a perfect memory — and twenty seconds later he has the ruling, the clause, and three related precedents. Your junior lawyer uploads the contract and gets a risk map with the clauses that deserve human eyes, flagged one by one, in two minutes instead of four hours.

This isn't futurism. It's already happening at firms that decided to stop putting off this conversation.

How many more clients could you serve if your team got those hours back?

It's not "another chatbot" — it's operational intelligence

When I bring up AI, a lot of lawyers picture ChatGPT churning out generic text. That's not what transforms a firm. What transforms it is finding the right answer in seconds, summarizing a sixty-page contract in a minute, and no longer depending on the senior partner's memory as the firm's only knowledge repository.

I help you tell the difference between what's marketing and what actually moves the needle in your legal operation.

How it applies to your day-to-day

Contract review in minutes. The system finds the clauses that deserve your attention — you decide, instead of reading the whole document line by line.
Precedents a question away. You describe your case and get the relevant rulings — not by keyword, but by what they actually mean.
Due diligence without all-nighters. Documents analyzed, summarized and prioritized automatically. You supervise, you don't transcribe.
Drafts that don't start from zero. First versions built from your firm's real history, not from generic templates off the internet.
Knowledge that doesn't walk out the door. The firm's accumulated experience stays accessible to everyone, not just whoever's been there twenty years.

Where to start?

The first step isn't buying a tool. It's understanding which of your firm's processes have real room for improvement — and which don't. Not every firm is the same, and automating what doesn't hurt is just throwing money away.

I offer a free AI Diagnostic: in about 15 minutes, we look together at where the real opportunity is in your operation. No commitment, no jargon, with a clear map of the next step.

Who's already made the move

Allen & Overy — one of the largest firms on the planet — was among the first to integrate Harvey AI into its global workflows. Not to replace anyone, but so its lawyers would stop losing time on what a machine does better. The result: more matters handled simultaneously, same quality, less burnout.
