AI translation for law firms.
The version of AI translation that law firms still use a year after launch.
Intake, file notes and document review sped up, with client information protected under the Privacy Act 2020 and kept in New Zealand.
What we keep hearing from NZ law firms.
Law firms bill for judgement, but a huge share of the week still goes on intake, document review, and status updates.
New matter intake and routine client updates are the two places firms lose the most billable time to admin.
What AI translation actually does
Reach more of Aotearoa. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.

One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

Good questions, answered
What's a typical engagement length for law firms?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI translation stack we reach for is Claude, DeepL, ElevenLabs, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
Anyone else in this space using AI translation?
Plenty. Expanded customer reach by 22% with multilingual support live. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
