What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Granville Km addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
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
Patent litigation partner needs to know judge X's claim construction tendencies, opposing counsel's win rate on summary judgment motions, and which damages experts the other side typically retains — but this intelligence is locked in individual attorneys' heads and scattered across firm matter files
Patent attorney conducting a prior art search for a client's invention spends 2-3 days manually searching USPTO, EPO, and non-patent literature databases — reading hundreds of abstracts, mapping claims to prior art references, and still worrying they missed something in a Chinese or Japanese patent that wasn't translated. The search costs the client $5,000-15,000 and the attorney still can't guarantee completeness
