Use AI on your own contract data without compromising data security
In the 27 years of working as an attorney, Adam has experienced the frustration of finding precedents while drafting legal documents. His perspective changed when he discovered Henchman.
Slapping things together
With Henchman, Adam Kaufman found quick accessibility to knowledge bits that were buried deep in his memory, allowing him to retrieve relevant information effortlessly. Before he would look for precedents in his own files, trying to find something that resembles the situation he is dealing with for his client. “But that can be a long and laborious process filled with frustration, misery, and even sadness at times”, so he says. He would end up finding a precedent or slapping a few things together if necessary. However, that working method was time-consuming and ultimately inefficient.
Leveling the playing field
When Kaufman first saw Henchman, he was completely blown away by what it can already do and the potential it still has. Henchman did not only save him time, but it also opened his eyes to the possibilities of using AI as a tool to level the playing field to a certain extent between a small practice like his, and a much larger firm. “If AI is seen as a threat, then I think it is being viewed in the wrong way,” Kaufman says. He strongly believes lawyers have to embrace AI and legal tech and figure out a way to make it work for them. “Within our context as attorneys, it’s our duty to serve the client’s needs in the best way possible. If those needs could be served via the use of technology, one would think that clients expect that of us.”“If AI is seen as a threat, then I think it is being viewed in the wrong way”

In Kaufman’s experience, AI can be an incredible tool to enhance one’s own knowledge base and even to become a better lawyer. Henchman didn’t only enable him to leverage his own database but also opened up the possibility of tapping into the benefits of generative AI (GPT). “What impressed me the most was the secure nature of the system, ensuring that my client’s data remains protected while I can tap into a wider universe of legal information. With Henchman, you get the best of both worlds. You have your internal database and an outside pool of information that you can access without fear that your own data will be compromised. ”
