Document AI for Law Firms
A document AI pipeline built for law firms.
Reviewing a contract for standard provisions is necessary, high-volume, and a poor use of legal time. Document AI extracts the clauses, dates, parties, and obligations, flags deviations from your standard positions, and gives the fee earner a marked-up starting point instead of a blank one.
Built by VelvoAI, an independent AI systems studio. One engineer scopes and writes every system.

What this handles for law firms
First-pass contract review is expensive and profoundly repetitive.
- Extract parties, dates, values, governing law, and termination provisions automatically
- Flag clause deviations from your firm's standard positions and playbook
- Build obligation and key-date registers across a portfolio of agreements
- Process bulk due diligence document sets in hours instead of weeks
First-pass review completed before a fee earner opens the document, with exceptions already highlighted.
How it runs
Day to day for law firms
Discovery bundles, contracts and correspondence arrive as scans and PDFs and get read by a person who types the relevant parts somewhere else. Extraction pulls parties, dates, clauses and obligations with a confidence score per field, routes anything below threshold to a fee earner rather than guessing, and files the result against the matter. The point is not to remove the review — it is to stop the review starting from a blank page.
- S.01Clio or LEAP as the matter file of record
- S.02NetDocuments, iManage or SharePoint where document management is separate
- S.03A review queue for anything under the confidence threshold
- S.04The conflict check, run against extracted party names

Document AI for Law Firms — questions
01Can it be relied on for review?
As a first pass, not as the review. It finds and flags; a fee earner decides. The value is that attention goes to the three unusual clauses rather than to confirming that forty standard ones are standard.
02How does it handle scanned or poorly formatted contracts?
OCR and layout parsing run ahead of extraction, and confidence scoring routes poor-quality documents to manual review rather than posting an uncertain extraction as fact.
