Legal
In-house counsel, law-firm associates, legal ops, and paralegals use Interpreter to grind through the document work around a matter: redlines, memos, discovery review, closing binders, clause extraction. Interpreter opens the files on your desktop the way you do, drafts in your templates, and stops before anything leaves the firm.
Example workflows
Redline an NDA against your playbook
Compare an incoming NDA to your firm's standard playbook, mark deviations with tracked changes, and leave margin comments explaining each edit.
“Redline the NDA in inbox/acme-nda.docx against playbook/standard-nda-playbook.md, leave a comment on every change explaining the rationale, save as acme-nda-redline.docx, and stop before sending.”
Produce a contract change log
Diff two versions of an agreement clause-by-clause and produce a clean change log with old text, new text, and a one-line summary per change.
“Compare contracts/v3-counterparty.docx against contracts/v2-ours.docx, build a clause-by-clause change log in change-log.xlsx with old text, new text, and a one-line summary per row.”
Draft a legal memo from research notes
Turn a folder of case notes, statutes, and partner instructions into a structured memo with issue, rule, analysis, and conclusion sections.
“Read research/standard-of-review/ and draft memo.docx in our IRAC template, cite every authority inline, and leave a TODO marker anywhere a citation needs partner confirmation.”
Summarize discovery into a privilege log
Walk a folder of discovery PDFs, extract author, recipients, date, and subject, and assemble a privilege log with proposed redaction calls flagged for review.
“Read every PDF in discovery/batch-04/, extract sender, recipients, date, and subject into privilege-log.xlsx, flag any document mentioning outside counsel as 'review for privilege', and stop before marking anything final.”
Build a clause library from past deals
Scan a folder of executed agreements, pull recurring clauses (indemnity, IP, termination, governing law), and assemble a categorized clause library.
“Read every executed agreement in deals/2024/, extract indemnity, IP, termination, and governing-law clauses into clause-library.xlsx, one row per clause with the source deal and counterparty.”
Draft a will from intake notes
Convert a paralegal intake form into a draft will in the firm's template, with beneficiaries, specific gifts, and executor language pre-filled for attorney review.
“Read intake/smith-family-intake.pdf, draft a will using templates/will-template.docx, fill in beneficiaries, specific gifts, and executor language, save as smith-will-draft.docx, and stop before any signature block is finalized.”
Assemble a closing binder
Pull executed signature pages, schedules, and ancillary documents from a closing folder into a single bookmarked PDF binder with an auto-generated index.
“Read closing/acme-acquisition/, assemble a bookmarked PDF binder in the order listed in closing-checklist.md, generate an index page, and save as acme-closing-binder.pdf.”
Where to be careful
- Always require explicit approval before any draft, redline, or memo leaves the firm by email or shared link.
- Never let the agent file with a court, sign documents, or execute on behalf of a client.
- Every clause flagged, cited, or summarized must point back to the source document and section.
- Legal-judgment calls (privilege, materiality, strategic edits) stay with the attorney. Interpreter prepares; the attorney decides.
