A lawyer asks a question in plain English and adds the jurisdiction, the matter type and any facts that matter. The agent searches the sources agreed for your firm, drafts a memo and attaches a citation to each claim. The memo is marked as a draft for attorney review from the first line. For long case files, you can ask for a summary brief instead: key dates, parties, issues and open questions, each pointing back to the page it came from.
A cited answer is not a verified one. Your lawyer should open each source, confirm it says what the memo says and confirm it is still good law. The citations are there to make that check quick. We build the habit into the workflow so nobody has to remember it.
Questions at the edge of settled law, or where the facts decide everything, still need a lawyer to do the thinking. Use the agent for the first pass and background reading. Measure it by how often drafts give a lawyer a useful starting point, and how many citations needed correcting on review.
Agree where the memos are stored and who can see them. A research note on one client's matter should not appear in another client's file. We set storage and access with your administrator, so the agent works inside the same boundaries your lawyers already respect.
This work is specific to your field, so we build it around your rules, templates and examples instead of a generic model.
