AI Agents for Casework & Drafting

A litigation associate gets assigned a motion for summary judgment on a Tuesday. The hearing is in 6 weeks. The first draft traditionally takes a full day: pulling the pleadings, pulling deposition transcripts, pulling the documents, finding the analogous briefs from past matters, drafting the statement of undisputed facts, writing the legal argument, building the exhibit list. By the time the senior partner reviews it 2 weeks later, the associate has spent 12 or 15 hours on the first draft.

With a motion drafter agent in place, the Tuesday morning changes. The agent pulls the matter record, the pleadings, the deposition excerpts tagged as relevant, and the exhibits from your document storage. It drafts the statement of undisputed facts from the deposition testimony and stipulations. It drafts the legal argument from your firm's precedent briefs on similar issues. It assembles the exhibit list and cross-references it to the brief. The draft lands in the associate's inbox by lunch.

The associate's job shifts. Instead of 12 hours of typing, the associate spends 4 hours of thinking: reviewing the draft, sharpening the theory, pressing the weaker arguments, adding the case-specific facts the agent couldn't have known. The partner review is earlier and deeper. The brief is better. The matter is cheaper to run.

Drafting work is structurally identical across matters within a practice area. An MSJ has the same skeleton every time. Demand packages: same sections. Deposition outlines follow the same logic. Facts change, precedent cases change, case theory changes. Structure doesn't.

Agents draft the structure with the facts populated. The attorney shapes the argument, sharpens the theory, catches what the agent missed, and signs the final. That's the workflow Dodonai runs on our own consulting engagements, with our own drafting agents, and it's what we stand up for law firms. The attorney gets their time back for the judgment work. The firm's precedent library compounds with every brief. Agents run in your account on SOC 2 and HIPAA-aligned infrastructure, with zero data retention from our LLM providers and drafts-only output. Same stack we run on our own drafting work.

Blueprint is 2 to 3 weeks. We audit your drafting workload, review 3 or 4 recent briefs or demand packages, and map where the agents would land. You leave with a prioritized roadmap.

Build is 4 to 8 weeks. The first drafting agent is usually the one that maps to your highest-volume work product: the demand package for a PI firm, the motion drafter for a commercial litigation firm, the appellate brief drafter for an appeals practice. We load your precedent library, connect to your document storage and practice management system, and run in shadow mode on a real matter while we tune.

Managed is the ongoing operating mode. We monitor the agents, refine templates and precedent weighting as the firm's voice evolves, add new agents as your needs grow, and absorb the work of keeping the fleet running. You get a monthly review.
