AI for law firms is no longer a future trend, it is a practical solution helping legal professionals manage rising workloads while keeping tradition, trust and precision at the heart of their practice.
The legal profession is built on tradition, trust and precision. At askelie we respect that. But we also recognise the growing need for law firms to evolve. With rising workloads, more demanding clients and increasing compliance requirements, firms need modern tools to stay competitive. This must happen without compromising the core values that define the legal industry. That is where AskELIE comes in. We help law firms adopt AI in a way that is practical, ethical and aligned with how legal professionals operate.
Why AI for Law Firms is Becoming Essential
Legal teams are under increasing pressure. Reviewing hundreds of contracts, responding to ever-changing regulations and managing vast volumes of paperwork all take time and resource. At the same time, clients expect faster turnarounds, better transparency and more value for money.
AI for law firms offers a way forward, but it must be introduced carefully, with the right level of oversight and control. For many firms, the challenge is balancing efficiency gains with the professional responsibility and client trust that underpin their reputation.
AskELIE. Designed by Legal Professionals, For Legal Professionals
ELIE has been built specifically with law firms in mind. It helps teams increase efficiency, improve accuracy and free up time for higher-value client work, while keeping lawyers firmly in control. Some of the core ways we support firms include:
- Contract Review: Summarise key terms and flag potential risks in minutes.
- Document Drafting: Generate first drafts from approved templates and firm-specific context.
- Legal Research: Speed up research with AI-assisted insights and summaries.
- Workflow Automation: Align teams with shared tasks, review stages and reminders.
- Knowledge Sharing: Capture and securely reuse firm-wide expertise.
Our tools are built to support human judgement, not replace it.
AI for Law Firms: Tackling Common Concerns
We know law firms are cautious about AI, and rightly so. Concerns about confidentiality, accuracy and ethical use are valid. AskELIE has been designed with these in mind:
- Data is stored in UK-hosted environments with full control over access.
- No firm data is ever used to train public AI models.
- Every output is subject to human review before finalisation.
- Full audit trails are provided for every action on the platform.
Nothing is automated without oversight. The lawyer remains in control at every stage.
Proven Results with AI for Law Firms
One of our client firms, a regional practice with several offices, cut its average contract review time by nearly 50 percent in just three months. The benefits went beyond speed. Lawyers were able to respond faster to clients, collaborate more effectively across offices and spend less time on administrative tasks. Staff also reported greater job satisfaction, as repetitive work was reduced and more time could be dedicated to meaningful client work.
Firms that adopt AskELIE often tell us the real transformation is not just efficiency, but the quality of time regained.
Starting Small, Growing Steadily
We do not believe in overnight change. Most firms begin with a small pilot, such as using AI for internal knowledge documents or non-client materials. This builds familiarity and confidence before moving into client-facing workflows.
AskELIE provides full onboarding, training and ongoing support. We work with each firm to configure permissions, controls and processes that suit their needs and risk appetite. Adoption is always guided, measured and supported.
Conclusion: Practical Progress with Professional Care
AskELIE helps law firms move forward without losing what matters most. We do not replace people. We enhance their work. We do not disrupt tradition. We modernise it responsibly. AI for law firms gives professionals more time to think, advise and lead.
Used properly, AI for law firms gives professionals more time to think, advise and lead. It reduces bottlenecks, improves service delivery and strengthens client trust. At askelie we believe law firms can have both innovation and integrity. We are here to make that possible.
