A solo attorney — Charlotte, NC
Cutting contract drafting time in half for a solo attorney
15+ hours a week on documents built from scratch each time. Tools they were already subscribed to did the first drafts.
What Was Being Lost
A solo employment attorney in Charlotte ran a practice focused on NDAs, severance agreements, employment contracts, and demand letters. The work was good; the paperwork was suffocating. They were spending 15+ hours a week drafting documents — all from scratch or from outdated templates. A paralegal would cost $45k/year. They were already working 55-hour weeks and couldn’t justify it financially at their volume.
How It Was Built
Built a library of base prompts for their 8 most common document types. Claude produces first drafts that require 25% fewer edits than their old templates. They review, refine, and sign off — the legal judgment stays theirs.
Jurisdiction-specific precedent research that used to take 2–3 hours now takes 45 minutes. They still verify citations in Westlaw, but the initial sweep is faster.
Turns unstructured client notes into structured case summaries before the first consultation. Cuts prep time per new client from 40 minutes to 12.
