AI at Kennyhertz Perry – Benefiting our Clients’ Bottomline

At Kennyhertz Perry, innovation isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a commitment. As a boutique law firm known for serving clients at the intersection of business, technology, and compliance, we understand that to stay ahead, we must evolve. That’s why we’re embracing artificial intelligence (AI) as a key part of our legal operations — not to replace attorneys, but to empower them.

AI as a Legal Associate

Traditionally, law firms had associates do “associate-level work” such as legal research, contract review, due diligence, document drafting, and client memos. These are time-intensive but important tasks that clients pay a lot of money for when they hire lawyers at old, traditional law firms or “big law.” More senior attorneys would then apply their knowledge and expertise to the associates’ work product to create the final client deliverable.

At Kennyhertz Perry, we use AI to do the majority of associate-level work. This results in greater efficiency and lower bills for our clients. In addition, AI can do these associate-level tasks instantly, allowing Kennyhertz Perry to deliver with greater speed. This accelerated pace empowers clients to make decisions and take action faster, which often has real economic benefit.

Here’s how:

  1. Legal Research at Speed and Scale

AI platforms can sift through vast legal databases in seconds, surfacing relevant case law, statutes, and secondary sources that would take human associates hours to uncover. This allows our attorneys to focus more on strategy, analysis, and client advisement, rather than rote research.

  1. Contract Analysis and Review

Using AI-driven tools, our team can rapidly review complex contracts for red flags, inconsistencies, or unusual clauses. These tools can also compare agreements to a database of similar contracts to ensure nothing is missing or out of the ordinary. Associates still play a crucial role in final interpretation, but AI accelerates the initial review process significantly.

  1. Drafting and Document Automation

From NDAs to privacy policies and employment agreements, AI can generate first drafts in seconds based on firm-approved templates and context provided by the attorney. This enables junior lawyers to spend more time refining and customizing content rather than starting from scratch.

  1. Due Diligence Made Smarter

When conducting due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, or financing rounds, AI helps organize, review, and summarize volumes of documents quickly. This improves turnaround times without compromising the depth or rigor of the review.

  1. Internal Knowledge Management

AI helps us manage internal knowledge, from creating quick-reference summaries of legal updates to organizing precedents and prior client work. It reduces duplication of effort and ensures attorneys have fast access to the firm’s intellectual capital.

Why It Matters

By using AI for associate-level tasks, we’re not just increasing efficiency — we’re also improving the client experience. Faster turnaround times, more accurate work, and lower costs translate into tangible benefits for our clients. And for our attorneys, it means more time spent on the high-value, high-impact work that drives professional growth and client trust.

The Human Element Remains Central

Despite all the advantages AI brings, we know that legal practice is ultimately a human endeavor. Critical thinking, ethics, judgment, and empathy can’t be outsourced. AI assists — it does not replace. Every AI-generated output is reviewed, contextualized, and validated by a licensed attorney.

At Kennyhertz Perry, we view AI not as a threat, but as a tool — one that’s helping us reimagine what it means to deliver smart, responsive, and modern legal counsel.
