BriefCatch: A Comprehensive Legal Writing Solution
BriefCatch aims to be a one-stop shop for legal writing needs, offering not just document improvements but also document generation and educational training content. Founded by Ross Guberman, BriefCatch has seen significant growth, including a recent $3.5 million seed round and the formation of a legal writing advisory panel. With upcoming AI-enabled products, BriefCatch is poised for further development and expansion.
The Evolution of BriefCatch and Insight into Legal Writing
Ross Guberman, a former lawyer turned legal writing coach, founded BriefCatch in 2018 after recognizing the need for enhanced legal writing tools. The company's mission is to provide tools that not only edit and improve documents but also generate new ones, covering a wide range of legal writing needs. With a focus on marrying AI technology with subject matter expertise, BriefCatch aims to revolutionize the legal writing landscape.
AI Integration and Future Plans for BriefCatch
BriefCatch is integrating AI into its products, starting with Client Catch, which generates client alerts based on uploaded source material. The company is also working on a chat bot for legal writing queries and a project to analyze document structure and organization. With a vision to become a leader in legal writing support, BriefCatch is focused on incorporating AI technology and continuous product development.
The Shift Towards AI in Legal Writing
As the legal tech landscape evolves, there is increasing interest in harnessing AI for legal writing improvements. While AI tools may not mimic individual writing styles perfectly, they excel in enhancing and tightening prose, offering substantial benefits for users. BriefCatch emphasizes the synergy of AI capabilities with human subject matter expertise to provide comprehensive and effective legal writing support.
This has been a notable year for BriefCatch, a legal technology company devoted to helping legal professionals improve their legal writing. It started nine months ago, with the company’s raise of a $3.5 million seed round, continued with its roll outs of new products and features, and then to its formation of a legal writing advisory panel of judges, advocates and academics.
All of that culminated in BriefCatch’s announcement last week of its hires of three legal tech veterans into key executive roles in marketing, sales and product management, all to help lead it into its next stage of growth and development: Lydia Flocchini as chief marketing officer, Darren Schleicher as chief sales officer, and Kyle Bahr as product manager of AI and other new products.
Ross Guberman, the founder and CEO of BriefCatch, is our guest today to discuss the company’s history, growth, recent news, and future plans – which will include the launch of a suite of AI-enabled products. A former practicing lawyer, he was a legal writing coach and speaker when he conceived of BriefCatch, which he formally launched in 2018.
