FinePrint Compare Law firms

Give a law firm and FinePrint the same task

A law firm sells a lawyer's time. Legal AI Counsel (FinePrint Counsel) does the legal work, with lawyers supervising. Put the same task in front of both. Compare what each includes and who checks it. Then compare the bill.

The same task

Describe the same task to both providers

Tell both the company, the places involved, the records you have, what you want back, and the deadline. Ask what is included and which facts you must supply. Leave related tasks out of the quote.

  • Locations
  • Records
  • Desired output

FinePrint Counsel

FinePrint shows a plan before work begins

Counsel lists the documents it will prepare and the facts it needs. It shows what the task will cost before it starts, and you decide. Government filing fees are billed separately and approved first.

  2. Facts needed
  3. Cost
  4. You approve the plan

FinePrint tells you which work a lawyer checks

Legal work follows a process lawyers approved and sample-check. Work that needs additional legal judgment waits for a lawyer's review. Does a lawyer review every output? Not every one. Ask which path your task takes.

A firm's engagement

Ask the firm what its quote includes

Ask which lawyer owns the task, what work and review the quote covers, how you get decisions, and how fees are charged. Two quotes with the same task name can cover different work.

  • Who owns the task
  • Which work and review
  • How you receive decisions
  • How fees are charged

The same task name can mean different work.

Keep your existing lawyer involved

Your legal team keeps the judgment. Your Legal AI Team takes the volume. Tell us how you want your lawyer involved. Counsel can share the work and the company record with them, limited to the task they are on.

Compare what you keep when the task is done

Ask a firm what you get back, and in what form. With FinePrint, the Legal Room holds the final documents, the decisions, and the reasons, and the next task starts from them.

Questions

Does FinePrint promise a lower bill for every task?

No. Outside counsel bills $500 to $1,000 an hour. FinePrint bills $20 an hour, by the minute it works. What you pay depends on the task, so compare the work and review included, not just the rate.

Must we stop working with our current lawyer?

No. Tell us how you want your lawyer involved. We share the work and the company record with them, limited to their task.
