Written while building, not after.

Guides for the task in front of you, and perspectives on what it takes for a firm to change how the work is produced.

  1. Anonymised precedent pages arranged beside a blank drafting sheet.

    A first draft from your own precedents

    Getting a usable first pass out of your own precedent bank rather than the model's training data — and the instruction structure that makes it repeatable.

  2. A magnifying loupe and red pencil over a citation-checking sheet.

    Checking citations before you rely on them

    A verification pass you run on any AI-assisted research output, in about twenty minutes, that catches the three ways citations go wrong.

  3. Contract clauses marked with brackets, arrows and hierarchy lines.

    Lawyers already know how to instruct precisely

    They call it drafting. Specifying behaviour unambiguously, for a reader who will exploit any gap, is the same discipline — which means the starting point is further along than most training assumes.

  4. Unused access cards and a project folder beside a progress line that ends early.

    Pilots die quietly

    Nobody cancels a failed AI pilot. The licences renew, the champion moves practice group, and the usage report stops being circulated.

    FeaturedStrategy & economics
  5. Two archive boxes separated by ownership boundaries, with one key.

    The first question is never which tool

    It is whose tenancy the data sits in. Every decision worth making about legal AI is downstream of that one, and most procurement processes ask it last.

    FeaturedInfrastructure & data
  6. Six documents with the same field positions precisely marked.

    Extracting the same fields across a document set

    Pulling consistent, checkable data out of fifty agreements — and building the small answer key that tells you whether it worked.
