Reduction in review time
Clause identification accuracy
Increase in client capacity
Mitchell & Partners, a leading international law firm with offices in 12 countries and over 900 attorneys, faced increasing pressure to review complex contracts more efficiently without sacrificing quality. The firm's corporate practice handles thousands of high-stakes agreements annually across mergers and acquisitions, real estate, and intellectual property licensing.
Key challenges included:
The firm recognized that maintaining competitiveness in a rapidly changing legal landscape required fundamental changes to their document review processes.
After careful evaluation, Mitchell & Partners implemented DocMatrix AI's ContractAI solution, customized for their specific practice areas. The implementation included:
Machine learning models trained on the firm's historical agreements to automatically identify, extract, and classify key provisions across multiple contract types.
Automated flagging of high-risk clauses and deviations from client-approved terms, with comparison to industry standards and past negotiation positions.
Connection to the firm's proprietary precedent database, allowing attorneys to instantly access relevant past work product and negotiation history.
Customizable dashboards providing clients with real-time visibility into contract review status, issues identified, and progress metrics.
The firm piloted the solution with their M&A practice before expanding to other practice groups over a six-month implementation period.
"DocMatrix AI has transformed how we deliver legal services. Our attorneys now focus on strategic advice rather than mechanical document review. We're able to provide clients with more predictable pricing while maintaining our profit margins. The system continues to improve as it learns from our experts' feedback."
— Elizabeth Mitchell, Managing Partner, Mitchell & Partners
Within eight months of full implementation, Mitchell & Partners experienced transformative improvements in their contract review processes:
Average review time for standard agreements decreased from 7-10 hours to just 1.5-2.5 hours, allowing faster client response and increased capacity.
The system consistently identifies key clauses and potential issues with near-perfect accuracy, exceeding the performance of junior associates.
The firm has been able to take on significantly more client work without adding headcount, improving overall profitability.
Improved efficiency has enabled the firm to confidently offer more fixed-fee arrangements, which has become a competitive advantage in client acquisition.
Beyond the quantitative benefits, the firm has noted that associates report higher job satisfaction as they spend more time on intellectually challenging work and less on tedious document review.
