Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Centari is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Centari addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
500K documents to review, contract attorneys burning out after 4 hours of screen-staring, nobody knows if the review is consistent across 20 reviewers — and the partner watching the budget bleed
Legal research costs $400-600/hour in associate time and takes hours of manual digging — searching Westlaw/Lexis, reading irrelevant results, synthesizing case law. Clients increasingly refuse to pay for research hours on invoices. AI can compress a 4-hour research memo into 20 minutes, but most firms have no approved tool
BigLaw firm with 1,000+ lawyers has decades of work product locked in DMS folders — the precedent brief the partner drafted 3 years ago is unfindable, institutional knowledge walks out the door when partners leave, and junior associates waste hours recreating work that already exists somewhere in the system
