The challenge
- Drafting and updating complex legal documents is laborious and prone to human error, especially when integrating large amounts of guidance or template text.
- The client needed an automated solution to ensure compliance with billing guidelines in legal invoices and to handle common legal inquiries from business users without overloading in-house lawyers.
- The company needed an automated solution to ensure contracts remain compliant with evolving laws and company policies.
What we did
- We developed a package for Practical Law web tools, merging existing contract templates with user inputs, automatically highlighting changes and providing explanations.
- Sii developed an NLP-based system that analyzes invoice items to determine billable and non-billable charges based on predefined legal guidelines.
- We developed a RAG-based chatbot that answers legal questions using company policies and documents, with features like intent detection, rerouting, and sensitive topic identification.
- Sii experts developed an AI system that scans contracts, identifies non-compliant clauses based on updated guidelines, and proposes amendments with redlined edits.
