AI-Powered Contract Automation
Automating contract interpretation and memo drafting — cutting hours of manual work down to minutes for Australian legal professionals.
The Challenge
A growing Australian legal tech startup needed to automate the time-consuming process of reviewing contracts and drafting response memos. Their legal professionals were spending 3-4 hours per contract on repetitive tasks that could be systematised.
The Approach
- Conducted discovery sessions to understand the exact workflow and pain points
- Designed a human-in-the-loop system that automates 80% of the work while keeping humans in control of final decisions
- Built a clean, intuitive interface that legal professionals could adopt without extensive training
- Implemented secure document handling to meet Australian privacy and legal requirements
The Solution
I built a Next.js web application that uses AI to analyse contracts, extract key clauses, and generate draft response memos. The system flags potential issues and presents them in a clear dashboard, allowing legal professionals to review, edit, and approve outputs in minutes rather than hours.
Technologies Used
The Results
Reduced contract review time from 3-4 hours to 20-30 minutes
