The commercial case · Litigation teams

Handle more substantial matters. Keep professional control.

The case for LegalRAG Pro is greater capacity in documentary litigation—not an unverified promise to replace staff. Connect evidence, chronology, investigations and reviewed legal work so that practitioners can spend less time reconstructing the record.

All productivity, staffing and financial scenarios on this page are illustrative planning assumptions. No measured LegalRAG Pro savings are claimed.

Why firms examine the platform

More useful practitioner time. Less repetitive reconstruction.

Document-heavy matters generate repeated tasks across the same underlying sources. LegalRAG Pro is designed to connect that work within a continuing, source-linked matter.

Free capacity

Reduce avoidable time locating documents, preparing first chronologies and identifying material gaps.

Improve reviewability

Return from proposed findings and drafts to the underlying source material for professional checking.

Keep decisions visible

Maintain the distinction between AI-assisted output, junior preparation and the supervising solicitor’s approved analysis.

A connected operating model

Designed for the whole litigation team.

01

Paralegals & litigation support

Organise materials, investigate source locations and prepare chronology or evidence packages.

02

Trainees & junior solicitors

Test propositions, identify conflicting material, draft initial summaries and flag unresolved issues.

03

Supervising solicitors

Verify citations, resolve uncertainties, correct drafts and retain final professional responsibility.

These are anticipated workflows, not a claim that any profession can be removed from the process.

Illustrative economic model

What could better capacity be worth?

A worked scenario for a six-person team: 1,500 productive hours per person per year; 30% spent on eligible tasks (2,700 hours); and an assumed £35 value per productive hour.

Read the figures correctly: This is a scenario, not a LegalRAG Pro performance result. Time is valued only if the practice redeploys it productively, avoids a genuine cost or improves outcomes. Verification, corrections and supervising time must be included. Software and implementation costs are additional.

Professional safeguards

Efficiency without short-circuiting responsibility.

The commercial case only works if quality, security and supervision withstand scrutiny.

Check every material source

Practitioners must review the proposition and its underlying passage, not simply trust a citation.

Protect confidential material

Agree data flows, user access, provider arrangements, retention and contractual requirements before client documents enter a pilot.

Approve professional work

Keep generated analyses and saved drafts separate from work approved for client use or filing.

From proposition to evidence

Test it over six weeks, then make a decision.

  1. Week 1 · Scope & assuranceChoose synthetic matters and permitted participants; establish information and access boundaries.
  2. Week 2 · Manual baselineMeasure task time, completeness, corrections and supervising effort without the platform.
  3. Weeks 3–4 · Supervised useComplete comparable tasks with LegalRAG Pro and inspect source support and quality.
  4. Week 5 · Independent reviewA practising solicitor assesses accuracy, citations, missed evidence, confidentiality and usability.
  5. Week 6 · Adoption decisionCompare quality-adjusted net capacity with real costs. Adopt, refine, extend or stop.

A 15% quality-adjusted net saving is a proposed commercial hurdle for the pilot—not an achieved or promised outcome.
