FTE Legal
Preparing a first contract draft before lawyer review
Problem
The business problem
A solo lawyer was constrained by research, contract work, and follow-up administration.
Approach
What changed
The workflow connected an AI assistant with business tools to prepare a first contract draft from available context.
Reported outcome
Across the wider workflow, the vendor-published source reports roughly five times the output and an 80% reduction in the lawyer's own work time. The source does not isolate the contract-drafting step.
