Challenge
The firm’s team were spending significant time manually reviewing complex regulatory and public documents, work that required deep subject-matter expertise and often slowed delivery while increasing compliance risk. Validating cross-references, checking citations and producing accurate summaries often led to inconsistent turnaround times and added operational load. around two hours to review and summarise end-to-end, adding up to dozens of hours of high-value lawyer time every month.
In practice, each document took around two hours to review and summarise end-to-end, adding up to dozens of hours of high-value lawyer time every month.
The Approach
Leveraging our AWS-native Intelligent Document Processing accelerator, Codex delivered a fully functional solution within four weeks. Our approach included:
1. Conducting a collaborative discovery workshop with key legal stakeholders to understand existing document review processes, compliance expectations and pain points.
2. Using insights from the workshop to clearly define the business problem, map the end-to-end workflow and prioritise the highest-value automation opportunities.
3. Delivering a production-ready solution in weeks, dramatically reducing implementation effort.
4. Collaborating closely with legal subject-matter experts to ensure every summary, validation and insight aligned with the firm’s tone, compliance standards and risk expectations.
5. Integrating DocumentIQ, Codex’s reusable Intelligent Document Processing accelerator, directly into existing legal and document management systems, unlocking an automated workflow without any platform changes.
6. Building a reusable IDP foundation that can be rapidly extended to new document types and future automation opportunities.
The Outcome
Codex delivered a scalable, AI-powered document intelligence workflow tailored for legal operations.
