A sourced research brief on every new matter by 9 am

The problem

Every new matter at Marlowe & Pike started the same way: an associate gathered the client history, previous matters, the relevant filings and recent case law into one document for the partner. It took most of a day, and it was the least interesting day of the case.

The firm had tried generic AI tools, but nobody could check where an answer came from, and nothing could leave their own systems.

What we wired

• A research agent that runs inside the firm’s own cloud and reads only the sources it is allowed to.

• Every sentence in the brief links to the document it came from, so an associate can check it in one click.

• The brief lands in the matter folder and in the partner’s inbox by 9 am the day after a matter opens.

What changed

Associates save about six hours on every new matter and start with a brief they can verify instead of a blank page. Partners read the same structure every time, which makes the first meeting with a client shorter and sharper.
