Thoughts on best AI software tools for transactional attorneys? I'm bombarded with ads for Spellbook on social media. An attorney at my firm also recently tried Thompson Reuters Co Counsel and said it was quite impressive.

For me, having something built into Word that reviews and does the legwork with most of the boilerplate provisions would be ideal, freeing me up to focus primarily on deal points that are important to the client.

Curious what transactional attorneys have found helpful.

Seems like everyone is launching a Word plug-in these days. The ones you mentioned… GC AI worth checking out… LegalSifter Review Pro…

My best success (also a transactional attorney) has been with ChatGPT projects (I create a new one per txn). For me, they key is spending time on thoroughly detailing the instructions and I've been basing my instructions on the CRIT method (context, role, interview, task) for instructions with mostly positive results. I use it as a "thought partner" for creative drafting and often ask "what's your interpretation of ..."

I haven't come across a solution yet that would truly work as a benefit to use in Word that doesn't slow me down (including Copilot)

I like Spellbook

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

While the people are decent and the hours aren’t terrible, I detest the work and don’t see a future in this new practice. My main partner says it should end in the next month, but I don’t expect that to happen. Is it a terrible idea to ask to be taken off?
