August

““I've already saved so much time getting to that point,” he says. "Now I can really focus on exactly what I need to accomplish."”

““Your billable time is strictly focused on the analytical work, and that's what your client is paying for.””

““Rather than re-type every single request, it jumpstarts that process so that the billable time is focused on the analytical work,” Joe says.”

““I think when August first came to the firm, a lot of the focus was on transactional work,” Joe says. “But I found it very useful for civil and criminal litigation.””

““The difference here is collaboration. Other firms are subscribing to AI. We're working with August to build something that fits how we actually operate and deliver what our clients need. That closeness means we can find ways to use the technology that our competitors, even those with bigger budgets, simply aren't doing,””

““What August will give us the ability to spend more of our time on the things our clients actually value: our knowledge, our relationship, and our attention to their specific needs. The technology handles a lot of the process; our people handle the judgment and the advice,””

“August will provide Hicksons with a competitive advantage in attracting the best lawyers in Australia. Life as a junior lawyer at Hicksons with August means you'll grow and learn dramatically faster.”

“Implementing August into our firm was like equipping each of our lawyers with an Iron Man suit. It has supercharged our services, allowing us to deliver increased value to our clients.”

“The end result of these improvements for our people is that we have happier employees. We have employees who work with us for longer, and we have better relationships with our clients. It has made me a better lawyer.”

“August allows me to focus on the meaningful work that inspired me to become a lawyer. It has taken away the tedious, repetitive, and voluminous tasks that junior lawyers traditionally had to endure, freeing me to focus on learning to deliver strategic advice and developing trust and relationships with my clients.”

““Having access to tools like August allows resource-constrained organisations to really enhance the impact they’re making. It just feels like we have a bigger team than what we have.””

““The fact that I can review a contract quickly with August and highlight the main obligations for our frontline staff means they can get out there and actually help people in need.””

““It’s able to act like that assistant or team member that we don’t have here at a charity like Mission Australia.””

““Within 30 seconds it had given me a list of every word in the contract that hadn’t been defined. That probably saved me about a week.””

““A lot of AI tools seem to be a solution looking for a problem. What I’ve been excited about with August is that it’s not just another chatbot. It understands the professional a little bit better. It knows what we’re looking for.””

““We’re constantly being asked to do more with less. The regulatory compliance burdens are growing exponentially each year.””

“This is a strategic investment in the future of the firm and in our partnerships with clients. Scale alone is no longer a differentiator,” said Robb Patryk, Managing Partner of Hughes Hubbard. “What matters is how intelligently a firm deploys its talent and collaborates with clients to solve complex problems. August gives us a meaningful competitive advantage by enabling our lawyers and business teams to work faster, smarter and more cohesively, without sacrificing the judgment our clients rely on.”

“We have lawyers spread around the world working across transactional, litigation and regulatory matters. The bar for any new technology here is whether it can handle that range without creating more work for the people using it,” said Neeraj Rajpal, Chief Information Officer at Hughes Hubbard. “August mirrors how our attorneys work while also delivering real value to our finance, marketing and operations teams. That made this a firmwide decision, not just a legal one.”

“At ELP, we view the integration of Artificial Intelligence and data analytics as one of the most transformative shifts in the legal industry. As the pace of innovation accelerates, we readily embrace the change. We see AI as a catalyst, one that empowers us to serve our clients with greater precision, insight, and impact. We are excited to be working with the August team to bring incremental value to our clients and assist our talent to improve their delivery accuracy and efficiency.”

“Technology is leveling the playing field between mid-sized firms and big law. Our agility allows us to implement and iterate new technologies faster, capturing market share in standardized, process-driven practice areas.”
