Draftwise and GoldMark: Proving Legal AI Works for Firms of Every Size

GoldMark specializes in real estate and corporate law, building its reputation on anticipating client challenges and delivering workable solutions. For boutique firms like GoldMark, every billable hour directly impacts profitability and client service capacity, making operational efficiency not just helpful but essential.

"At GoldMark, we lead every matter with the expertise and efficiency our clients expect and deserve," shared Todd D. Goldberg, Partner. "Draftwise has transformed how we draft, analyze, and review contracts. Our lawyers can now optimize document review and refocus their efforts on strategic client counsel. We're proactively building this into our practice because our clients will expect this efficiency in the years ahead."

Unlike enterprise solutions that require dedicated IT teams and months-long rollouts, Draftwise meets lawyers exactly where they already work. Boutique firms face unique resource constraints but possess natural agility that larger firms often lack. Draftwise harnesses this advantage rather than working against it.

"Draftwise is built for how lawyers actually work," said Will Seaton, Chief Customer Officer at Draftwise. "There's no infrastructure overhaul or data migration required. A firm like GoldMark can point DraftWise at their document management system on Monday, and lawyers will have access to decades of firm knowledge by Tuesday. We deliver enterprise-level capabilities without enterprise-level complexity."

GoldMark attorneys can now leverage the firm’s centuries of shared knowledge to support client matters, accessing relevant precedents, clauses, and strategies from their collective experience with an agility that adds value.

For boutique firms, efficiency gains compound differently than at large firms. When a 15-attorney practice saves 5 hours per lawyer per week, that's not just operational improvement. That’s the equivalent of two additional attorneys driving client development, strategic planning, and the high-value work that enables firm growth.

"With Draftwise, we can trust that the technology is enhancing our best asset—our people," adds Melinda E. McLaughlin, Chief Operating Officer. "We're building practices that scale alongside our changing industry, staying ahead of innovation to best serve our diverse and expanding client base."

The partnership represents a broader shift in legal technology adoption. While Big Law has dominated the conversation around Legal AI, boutique firms are proving they can move faster, adapt quicker, and see more immediate returns on their technology investments.

"Our focus remains on enabling lawyers to do what they do best: serve clients strategically," added Will Seaton. "GoldMark exemplifies how boutique firms can lead rather than follow in the AI era. They're setting the standard for smart technology adoption, and we're excited to support their continued growth."

As Legal AI becomes a crucial aspect of competitive practice, GoldMark's approach offers a roadmap for boutique firms everywhere: embrace innovation that enhances your unique advantages, choose tools that work with your existing workflows, and never lose sight of what makes boutique practice special – the ability to deliver personalized, strategic counsel that puts the client first.
