AI legal drafting with verified citations

The challenge

Generic AI writing tools can invent case law, which is a serious risk for any attorney who relies on them.

The work

Designed and built an AI legal-brief prototype, demoed to attorneys at a national personal-injury firm and a smaller local practice. A writer-researcher pipeline drafts the brief, checks every citation against the CourtListener and GovInfo public legal databases, then applies Bluebook formatting, removing the fabricated-case risk of generic AI tools. Covers motions, memos, and appellate briefs.

A working demonstration of AI drafting where every citation is checked against public legal databases before it reaches the attorney.

Moving the company to Microsoft 365

The challenge

Files lived on on-premises servers, and email security had gaps the built-in spam filter didn’t cover.

The work

Managed a Microsoft 365 hybrid implementation (Active Directory, Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint). Worked with each department to plan and migrate its files into SharePoint and OneDrive, used the Microsoft 365 Security & Compliance Center to protect against phishing and social engineering, added third-party email security, and guided creation of training materials for staff.

Files and email in Microsoft 365, department by department, with stronger protection against phishing.
