Turn frequently asked into already answered.
We sit with your employment group on live questions and matters and build up a record of how it answers, one answer at a time. It sits inside the platform the firm already has, and the advice stays with your lawyers.
The same local-law questions come back to your group from client after client.
Can the client end this contract, and on what grounds? What is the employee entitled to when it ends? Clients ask them again with each new situation.
A group that keeps a record of how it answered before can start each reply there.
Where AI could change employment work
Each of these comes back in your group, whatever the client or the matter. Its own way of handling them decides where AI could fit.
Recurring local-law questions
Clients ask what applies when a contract ends and what the employee is owed, and a lawyer answers each one for that client. A record of how your group answered before gives AI something to draft from, for the lawyer to check.
Template agreements
Clients ask the group for standard agreements, one for each kind of employment arrangement, and a lawyer drafts each set. AI could prepare the agreement from the client's facts, with the lawyer deciding where it departs from the template.
Handbooks and policies
A lawyer drafts the staff handbooks and policies each client asks for, including the whistleblowing procedure EU rules require of many employers. AI could prepare the draft and mark where it may fall short of the rules, for the lawyer to confirm.
Reorganisations and employee representation
When a client reorganises, a lawyer tracks who leaves and who replaces them, and explains each step of the works council procedure. AI could draft the overview and each client update from the matter file.
Settlements and litigation
In a contested matter, the team writes up each meeting, drafts the procedural documents and negotiates the settlement agreement. AI could prepare first versions from the file, and the lawyer keeps the strategy.
Employment due diligence
In a transaction, the employment workstream reviews the target's contracts, policies and management incentive schemes. AI could take a first pass through the data room, and the lawyer decides what matters for the deal.
How it works
We sit with the employment team
We work next to your lawyers on live questions and matters and see how the group handles them today.
We collect the opportunities
Ideas come from your team and from our own research. We weigh them with the practice head on value and risk.
We build what the group picks
That can be a knowledge base of the group's answers, a template set, a workflow or new software, starting in the platform the firm has.
We stay for the matters that follow
We keep working on the group's live questions and matters as the change becomes routine.
Frequently asked questions
Doesn't Harvey or Legora already handle employment work?
The platform can draft employment documents, but it does not know how your group answers a termination question or which template fits which client. Writing that down is the work of Workflow and Playbook, done with your team inside the tools you already have.
Employment law keeps changing, so won't a knowledge base go out of date?
It will, if nobody in the group keeps it up to date. Each answer can carry the rule and the date it rests on. When the law changes, the dates show which answers a lawyer should review. Keeping it current stays the job of your own group.
Can't our own knowledge lawyers build this for the group?
They can, if they get hours away from client work to write down how the group answers. That time is what usually runs out first. We bring that time, working next to the lawyers on their live questions.
Isn't this a job for a strategy house?
A strategy house looks across the firm and may be the right first step. We work inside one employment group, on the questions its clients are asking now.
Will AI end up advising our clients on a dismissal?
Your lawyers keep the advice on each case, the conversation with the person being dismissed and the strategy in a contested matter. AI could prepare the drafts and overviews, and they decide what reaches the client.
