Makes a lot of sense. But beware you're up against attorneys: no one wants putting their sensitive info in a common report for example. Paper files in a vault is "tangible".

I tried to do this decades ago in hollywood (top media company) using DAM/AssetMgt tech and ran up against the entire attorney corp being protective of their deal notes/documents both for confidentiality with the talent and to monopolize their connection to that talent (only they can negotiate) aka gatekeepers. They purposely wanted "islands" of data. Likely similar for any legal outfit in a global 2000.

Idk, my attorney friends are pretty darn excited about ChatGPT. The killer app would be LLM + case law database to be able to generate accurate citations in briefs, locate and reason about related cases, etc.
