The correspondence volume problem

Legal correspondence is a significant time sink. A busy litigation attorney may write 15–25 letters in a single week: demand letters, settlement correspondence, discovery objection letters, client update letters, and engagement confirmations. AI can generate polished first drafts from a 3–5 sentence fact summary, leaving the attorney to review, adjust tone, and add professional judgment.

Tone calibration for different correspondence types

Letter type	Appropriate tone	Key AI instruction
Demand letter	Firm, professional, factual	State the demand clearly; avoid threats of criminal action
Settlement offer	Measured, non-committal language	No admissions; frame as compromise, not weakness
Client status update	Clear, plain language	Avoid jargon; focus on what this means for the client
Engagement confirmation	Formal, precise	State scope, fee arrangement, and billing cycle explicitly
