A minimum viable stack for legal research, contract review, case analysis and drafting. The steps follow a validate-produce-review order, with recommended tools and substitutes at each stage.

Budget guidance

Workflow steps

1

Legal research

Search statutes and cases first, then summarize; citations must be checked by a human.

2

Contract review

Review against a risk-clause checklist; the model only does the first pass.

3

Case analysis

Organize facts, issues and evidence; keep the lawyer’s judgment central.

4

Drafting and delivery

Draft documents and client emails; redact sensitive data first.

FAQ

Do I need to buy every tool?

No. Start each step with a free tier or an existing tool and add only when you hit a bottleneck.

Can I swap in different tools?

Yes. Keep the input and output of each step stable; swapping the tool will not break the workflow.
