Achieving 60% Faster Legal Document Review and 50% Boost in Research Efficiency with ITTStar’s GenAI Services at Hitchcock Law Group

Executive Summary

Hitchcock Law Group, a well-known law firm in the USA, partnered with ITTStar to address some ongoing challenges in their legal document review and research processes. By using ITTStar's GenAI services, which AWS supports, Hitchcock improved its efficiency in handling legal documents and conducting legal research. Specifically, the firm reduced the time spent reviewing documents by 60% and increased its research efficiency by 50%. This case study explains how these improvements were achieved and how ITTStar’s solution helped Hitchcock streamline its operations.

Customer Challenge

Hitchcock Law Group faced several issues in its day-to-day operations that were affecting the speed and accuracy of its work:

• Time-Consuming Legal Document Review: Attorneys and legal staff were spending a disproportionate amount of time manually reviewing long, complex legal documents, which delayed their ability to focus on strategic legal tasks and client consultations.
• Inefficient Legal Research Process: Legal research was often slow and required a lot of manual effort, leading to delays in preparing cases.
• Risk of Errors in Document Handling: The manual review process sometimes resulted in mistakes, which could affect the outcome of cases and harm client trust.

Partner Solution

To solve these problems, ITTStar implemented its GenAI services at Hitchcock Law Group. The solution included the following:

1. 1. Legal Document Summarization: ITTStar’s GenAI summarization technology allowed the legal team to process long documents more quickly. The system was able to automatically create concise summaries of complex documents, cutting down the time spent reviewing them by 60%.
2. 2. Q&A Chatbot for Legal Research: ITTStar deployed an AI-driven chatbot, supported by AWS services like AWS SageMaker, which answered legal questions and provided relevant information on case precedents in real time. This saved attorneys a significant amount of time during research.
3. 3. Integration with Existing Systems: The GenAI tools were integrated into Hitchcock’s current document management system with minimal disruption. AWS services, including API Gateway and AWS Lambda, helped make the integration seamless without requiring a complete overhaul of their IT infrastructure.

Implementation

The process of implementing ITTStar’s GenAI services was broken down into three key phases:

1. Phase 1: Setup and Integration ITTStar collaborated with Hitchcock’s IT team to integrate the GenAI tools into their existing infrastructure. The AI tools were hosted using AWS cloud services, such as Amazon S3 and RDS, to ensure seamless data handling and secure document processing.
2. Phase 2: Adoption of Generative AI for Business-Led Transformation Automated Document Summarization: Leveraging AWS Bedrock’s Foundation Models (FM), Lawgini transforms the traditional manual document review process into an AI-driven automated system.

   AI-Powered Chatbot Assistance: The Legal Insights Chatbot, powered by AWS Bedrock, provide real-time assistance.

   Real-Time Case Progress Tracking: The integration of AI ensures that case progress is tracked and updated in real-time, providing complete visibility into ongoing proceedings

3. Phase 3: AWS Generative AI-Specific Services Leveraged Amazon Bedrock: Used for automated document summarization and powering the Legal Insights Chatbot.

   AWS Lambda: Automates document processing upon upload.

   Amazon S3: Securely stores uploaded case documents.

   Amazon RDS: Manages and stores structured data for case management.

   Amazon Cognito: Handles user authentication and authorization.

   Amazon CloudWatch: Monitors application performance and logs.

   Amazon GuardDuty: Detects unusual patterns of user behavior for security.

Why AWS?

Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLM), such as those available on Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Titan, are transforming the way developers and enterprises can solve traditionally complex challenges related to natural language processing (NLP) and understanding. Some of the benefits offered by LLMs include creating more capable and compelling conversational AI experiences for customer service applications and improving employee productivity through more intuitive and accurate responses. For these use cases, however, it’s critical for the GenAI applications implementing the conversational experiences to meet two crucial criteria: limit the responses to company data, thereby mitigating model hallucinations (incorrect statements), and filter responses according to the end-user content access permissions.
