Jobs To Be Done With The Product
We wanted to design lawspeak not just as a tool but as an intuitive workspace for legal professionals. We spoke with paralegal and associates and solos practitioners to understand their pain points and grouped their feedback into actionable themes.

Explain , Don’t replace
Users didn’t want AI to “practice law” ; they needed help understanding legal text. We Designed the Legal Assistant to clarify, not advise keeping tone neutral and always citing the source clause.

Speak Their Language
Regional lawyers often serve multilingual clients, but tools rarely support vernacular use. We want an integrated English - Other Language with clear language toggles and dual pane translation UI

Drafting Documents with AI Assistance
Lawyers often need to create repetitive contracts like NDAs or service agreements. Instead of starting from scratch, they upload a template or type a brief description.
How LawSpeak helps:
AI generates a first draft instantly, highlighting suggested clauses.
Lawyers can accept, reject, or edit each clause in a track-changes style panel.
The modular dashboard lets them start drafting in one click.
Outcome: What took hours is now done in 20–30 minutes, with full control over the final document.
Explaining Legal Jargon to Clients
Clients frequently ask, “What does this clause actually mean for me?”
How LawSpeak helps:
Users highlight a clause and select “Explain This” from the dashboard.
LawSpeak provides a plain-language explanation and optional legal context or precedents.
Explanations can be copied directly into client emails or memos.
Outcome: Associates save time and improve client communication without rewriting complex legal language manually.

Collaborative Document Review
Teams often exchange multiple document versions via email, making collaboration slow.
How LawSpeak helps:
Team members will be able to comment, suggest edits, and approve changes in real time, similar to Google Docs but tailored for legal workflows.
LawSpeak also helps lawyer maintain documents and see history for edits and suggestions made
Outcome: Speeds up approvals and ensures version control in team-based legal work and helps keep everything at one place.
Translating Contracts for Regional Clients
Documents and clients often need to be available in multiple languages.
How LawSpeak helps:
Users click “Translate” from the dashboard, upload a document, and instantly see a side-by-side translation view.
They can compare original vs. translated clauses line by line to ensure accuracy.
Outcome: Speeds up approvals and ensures version control in team-based legal work and helps keep everything at one place.
What I Took Away
Designing LawSpeak taught me that simplicity isn't about fewer features it's about clarity and control.
Working with legal professionals reminded me that trust is everything, especially when AI is involved. People don’t need a tool that does everything for them, they need a tool that helps them do their job better, without feeling lost or replaced.
The turning point came when I stopped asking, “What can the AI do?” and started asking, “What does the lawyer actually need right now?” That mindset shift helped me move from building features to solving real problem faster drafting, clearer communication, more control over outcomes.
Ultimately, I learned how to serve a complex, high responsibility industry by building trust-first, task-driven, and context-aware solutions. And that’s a skill I’ll carry into every problem space I work in.
Psst! Are you on your phone?
This screen’s a bit too tiny for the full story.

Why can’t I see the full case study?!
Because your phone is too smol.
