Automated Document Processing Reduced Manual Work by 90%
Legal Partners Munich, a mid-sized law firm, was spending 25+ hours weekly on manual document processing, classification, and data extraction. This case study shows how we implemented an AI-powered document automation system that transformed their workflow.
The Challenge
The firm was struggling with:
Manual Document Processing
Staff spent hours manually reading, categorizing, and extracting key information from legal documents, contracts, and correspondence.
Inconsistent Classification
Different team members categorized documents differently, leading to filing inconsistencies and difficulty finding documents later.
Data Entry Errors
Manual data extraction resulted in 15-20% error rate, requiring additional review cycles and potential legal risks.
Scalability Issues
As the firm grew, the manual processes became a bottleneck preventing them from taking on more clients.
