AI for Lawyers

The tool that drafts, summarises and reviews — without inventing case law if you use it correctly.

No credit card · all four major AI models in one place

AI is genuinely useful in legal work — for drafting, summarisation, comparison and language polish. It is dangerous when used wrong — most famously, when lawyers cite hallucinated cases. The cure is knowing what AI is good at and verifying everything that touches a court.

This page is for practitioners — solo, small firm, or in-house — who want concrete uses they can defend ethically.

What AI does for lawyers

Use case 1

Summarise a 200-page deposition in 5 minutes

Paste the transcript (or upload). Ask for a structured summary, key admissions, and contradictions.

Try this prompt

Summarise this deposition transcript. Output: 1) one-paragraph summary, 2) timeline of events as testified, 3) 5 most material admissions, 4) any contradictions with prior statements, 5) areas where the witness was evasive. Cite line numbers.
Use case 2

Draft a first-pass contract

Describe the parties, the deal, and the jurisdiction. Get a structured first draft to refine — never the final.

Try this prompt

Draft a [contract type] between [Party A] and [Party B]. Jurisdiction: [X]. Term: [Y]. Key terms: [list]. Include standard clauses (confidentiality, IP, termination, dispute resolution). Flag every clause that needs jurisdictional review.
Use case 3

Plain-English a clause for a client

Paste the clause; ask for a one-paragraph explanation a non-lawyer would understand.

Try this prompt

Explain this contract clause in plain English a non-lawyer client can understand. Include: what it does, what it doesn't do, and the one risk the client should think about. Clause: [paste]
Use case 4

Compare two contract versions

Paste both. Get a clause-by-clause diff with materiality assessment.

Try this prompt

Compare these two contract versions clause by clause. For each material change: state the old text, the new text, who it favours, and the practical impact in one sentence. Ignore formatting and typo changes.
Use case 5

Draft client correspondence at scale

Status updates, fee letters, engagement letters — AI gets you to 90% in seconds, you finish.

Try this prompt

Draft a client status update email for an active commercial litigation matter. Include: progress since last update, next milestones, fees to date vs estimate, and one action we need from the client. Use a professional, reassuring tone.

The best AI model for lawyers

Claude (in MultipleChat, with verification)

Claude is the most cautious of the major models and the least likely to fabricate. For citation-heavy work, do not trust any AI without verification — use AI for drafting and structure, use a legal database (Westlaw, Lexis) for case law. MultipleChat lets you cross-check the same passage in Claude and ChatGPT to catch one model's drift.

What you might be worried about

What about hallucinated cases?

AI invents citations. Never include a citation AI produced without verifying it in a primary source. Use AI for drafting and structure, not for case finding. The court sanctions reported on the news involve lawyers who skipped this step.

Is client data confidential?

Use enterprise-grade AI plans that do not train on your inputs. Anonymise where possible. Some jurisdictions have specific guidance — the ABA, the Law Society of England and Wales, and the Swiss Federal Office of Justice have all issued AI-use guidance for the profession.

Is using AI on a matter billable?

Convention is still forming. Most firms bill the lawyer's time at standard rates, not the AI's. Increasingly, clients ask whether AI was used and expect the time savings to be reflected. Talk to your firm's risk committee.

4

Bring it to the firm. Train the team. Document the policies.

FAQ for lawyers

Will AI replace lawyers?

Not the lawyering. The work-product industry around it is being compressed. Most senior lawyers see this as a productivity story, not a redundancy one.

Best AI for legal research?

Specialist tools (Lexis+ AI, Westlaw Edge AI) for primary law. General models (Claude, ChatGPT) for drafting and analysis. MultipleChat gets you the second category.

Can I use AI for client memos?

Yes, with care. Anonymise inputs. Verify every fact. Always read the output before sending.

What disclosure to clients?

Increasing best practice: tell clients you use AI as a tool, with your supervision and review. Many engagement letters now include this.
