Wordsmith’s Dispute Triage & First Response skill flags legal threats in your inbox, rates the risk and drafts first-response documents for review.
Lawyers live in Word. Wordsmith works there too. Review, redline, draft, research, and translate without ever leaving the document in front of you.
Global legal intelligence built around your business, hundreds of trusted sources across 130+ jurisdictions, combined with deep knowledge of your entities, risk profile, and prior positions.
Chain drafting into a full end-to-end workflow. Receive the request, draft the document, route for approval, and send. No manual step required.
A letter before action arrives among routine emails. Before anyone drafts a reply, your team needs to establish how urgent it is, who should handle it and what to do first.
Our new Dispute Triage & First Response skill helps in-house legal teams spot incoming legal threats and take a considered first step.
Built by Wordsmith Legal Engineer Larissa Meredith-Flister, it turns incoming correspondence into a risk assessment and first-response documents for a lawyer to review. A running Disputes Tracker report keeps triaged matters in one place.
An overlooked deadline, a rushed reply or lost evidence can make a difficult situation harder.
Larger organisations also need consistency: a reliable way to recognise incoming threats, decide who should handle them and escalate at the right time.
Over the past six months, litigation, investigations and enforcement have become an increasingly important focus in our conversations with enterprise teams. This skill brings structure to the first steps of those matters, reducing time spent on initial triage while keeping lawyers in charge of decisions.
The skill covers:
Regulator inquiries Routine undisputed invoices and later-stage litigation are out of scope.
You can customize it to suit your needs.
You can also share correspondence directly by uploading or pasting it into a chat, rather than using a connected inbox.
The skill is jurisdiction-neutral. Each assessment takes the relevant jurisdiction into account, including whether a pre-action protocol may apply.
It supports a qualified lawyer's review. Applicable rules and deadlines need confirmation before action.
The aim is practical: help teams spot threats earlier and spend less time on initial assessment, with more consistent handling and less risk of missed deadlines or rushed responses.
Our legal engineers turn legal expertise into repeatable workflows that teams can use in their daily work. Here, that means a structured process rather than a blank prompt each time.
As customer needs evolve, they will keep building around the work teams face, including litigation, investigations and enforcement.
