Reformat Labs

    AI and technology built for legal businesses

    Industry — Legal

    AI is transforming legal work - but only for firms that deploy it thoughtfully. We help law firms and in-house legal teams use AI to cut costs and reclaim time for high-value work, without compromising professional obligations.

    The challenge

    What we understand about legal businesses

    Legal businesses face constant pressure to do more with less while operating in a highly regulated, high-stakes environment. We work with law firms, legal technology businesses, and in-house legal teams to identify where AI can reduce cost, improve accuracy, and give fee-earners more capacity - without compromising on professional standards or client confidentiality.

    Common pain points

    Contract review and due diligence consume days of fee-earner time per matter

    Legal research is expensive and difficult to scale without junior headcount

    Document management is fragmented, slowing down matter progression

    Billing, matter management, and compliance tracking create significant admin overhead

    Clients expect faster turnaround - but capacity is limited

    What we build

    AI and software use cases for legal

    Contract review & analysis

    AI agents that read, flag, and summarise contracts - identifying key clauses, unusual terms, and potential risks in minutes rather than hours.

    Due diligence acceleration

    Automate the initial review of large document sets during M&A, property, or commercial transactions - surfacing relevant information for fee-earner review.

    Legal research assistant

    AI-powered research tools that search case law, legislation, and precedent to provide structured summaries for solicitors to review and apply.

    Document drafting support

    First-draft generation for standard documents - NDAs, letters of engagement, standard clauses - reviewed and finalised by qualified lawyers.

    Compliance monitoring

    Automated monitoring of regulatory changes and alerts mapped to client matters and internal compliance obligations.

    Matter management automation

    Streamline billing, time recording, client updates, and matter progression through intelligent workflow automation.

    Regulatory context

    How we approach compliance in legal

    We understand the obligations of the SRA Handbook, UK GDPR, Legal Professional Privilege, and AML regulations. All AI deployments are designed with these constraints at their core - not retrofitted.
