We have a tradition of leveraging technology and process improvements to deliver excellent client service, and we are proud to be recognized as one of the “best of the best” law firms for our use of generative AI, as ranked by BTI Consulting based on independent surveys of legal decision-makers.

By integrating AI into our workflows, we’re streamlining routine tasks, supporting precision in legal writing, and freeing our professionals to focus on strategic, high-value work that ensures our clients benefit from both innovation and deep legal insight.

We use a suite of generative AI tools, including PC Chat—our secure, custom-developed AI assistant—and more than a dozen other market-leading platforms, plus many other complimentary technologies, to improve accuracy, speed, and value across a wide range of legal tasks, including:

• Research. Lawyers use generative AI tools grounded in statutes, case law, and other primary and secondary sources to answer legal questions, generate first-draft research memos, compare laws across jurisdictions, and locate more robust support than would otherwise be possible under time constraints.
• Drafting. We have domain-specific tools that help lawyers draft and refine legal documents, evaluate and analyze intellectual property, format citations, and enhance jurisdiction-specific compliance.  
• Document review. Other AI solutions improve speed and accuracy in large-scale document review projects such as transactional due diligence and litigation discovery—helping us extract key data, flag risks, and identify material insights at a fraction of the cost and time it would take to achieve this manually.
• Diagramming. With state-of-the-art diagramming tools, we’ve automated the generation of complex patent family trees and prepared complex transaction step-charts and litigation timelines while reducing production time by 50%.
• Budgeting. We use AI tools to analyze timecard data and build smarter budgets and alternative fee arrangements.

We maintain a robust firmwide generative AI policy and standards that govern how lawyers and staff use these tools. We require educated, thoughtful use of our generative AI tools, and our AI governance team continuously evaluates emerging risks and opportunities. We prioritize:

• Client confidentiality
• Data security
• Lawyer competence and accountability

We’ve automated the creation of key document sets, including:

• Startup formation documents
• Preferred stock financing forms based on the latest National Venture Capital Association model documents

By doing so, we save clients significant billable hours while maintaining the quality and consistency expected from our experienced counsel.

We streamline transactions using a suite of drafting and closing tools:

• Closing management software allows us to accelerate closings, streamline the collection of signatures, and automatically generate polished closing sets at the time of closing—not days or weeks later.
• Specialized technologies integrated with Microsoft Word help our lawyers draft and review documents with precision using our internal precedents and playbooks. These tools also expedite final checks of citations, grammar, and formatting, ensuring timely delivery and high-quality results without added expense.

We have custom solutions, such as PC Collaborate, that allow us to work alongside our clients and third parties by quickly and securely transmitting documents and data.
