Solaris' AI reviewer reads a 30-page contract in 12 seconds, flagging risks and suggesting redlines with citations to clause and page. Partners now sign off in minutes — not hours.
The challenge
Solaris is a boutique firm with senior people whose time is genuinely precious. First-pass contract review was eating it — junior associates would mark up, partners would re-mark, and contracts still came back from clients with missed risks.
They needed help that respected the practice of law — not a tool that pretended to be a lawyer.
"It does the boring part properly so we can do the lawyering. That's the entire pitch — and they actually delivered it."
What we did
- Custom clause library — trained on the firm's own preferred positions, not generic best practice.
- Risk taxonomy — high / medium / low with citations and suggested rewordings.
- Track-changes export — outputs straight into Word, ready for partner review.
- Confidentiality — every contract is processed on infrastructure the firm controls.
The outcome
A 30-page contract that took an hour now takes 12 seconds plus a partner read-through. The partners are billing the work that needs them, not the work that didn't.
