How AI.Law Helped Akari Law Have Its Biggest Year Yet
Drafting consumed hours the firm needed for strategy, clients, and growth. Sean Akari changed that workflow by making AI.Law part of how his practice reviews files and prepares litigation documents.
The bottleneck: valuable lawyer time spent assembling first drafts
Akari Law was growing, but its litigation workload created a familiar constraint: every pleading, summary, and case review competed for the same limited attorney time. Hiring more people could add capacity, but it would not remove the repetitive work that slowed each matter.
The firm needed a way to reach the useful part of the work sooner—the facts, strategy, and client decisions—without lowering the standard of the documents it produced.
The change: summarize the file, then draft from the same case material
Sean integrated AI.Law into the firm's litigation workflow. The summarization tools helped the team get oriented quickly, while the drafting tools turned the same case information into a working first draft. Instead of restarting from a blank page for each task, the team could begin with organized case material and focus its time on legal judgment and revision.
"AI.Law has revolutionized how we handle complex cases." — Sean Akari, Akari Law
The result: more capacity for the work that grows a practice
- Two staff members added. Time savings gave the practice room to expand its team.
- A second office opened. The firm expanded its geographic reach.
- Its biggest year yet. The practice handled its largest caseload to date.
- Cases settled faster. Faster document preparation helped matters move toward resolution.
Sean also reported that AI.Law played a direct role in cases settling faster than before. The practical value was not simply generating text quickly. It was giving the firm more time to move matters, serve clients, and build the practice.
What other litigation firms can take from this
The most useful place to introduce AI is often a recurring bottleneck with a clear output: understanding a large file, preparing a first draft, or organizing facts before a strategy decision. For Akari Law, reclaiming that time created room for growth. The firm did not use AI to replace attorney judgment; it used AI.Law to reach the judgment-intensive work sooner.
