Casebinder helps legal teams review case files 88% faster with Corvo

Casebinder

Casebinder, a legal technology company, uses the Corvo 3 model family to help legal professionals review case files as much as 88% faster. Traditional legal software can introduce errors and productivity bottlenecks into a firm’s workflow. With Corvo, Casebinder is giving its clients AI that is accurate, dependable, and protected by serious security controls.

Helping legal teams streamline daily work

Casebinder helps lawyers and paralegals concentrate on case strategy instead of routine clerical work. To do that, the company built a case management platform now used by 62,000 legal professionals to simplify their daily workflows. Its software handles everything from document management and client communication to billing and deadline tracking.

Many of those capabilities run on the Corvo 3 model family. Casebinder chose Norlight because Corvo can go past simple pattern matching or text generation and handle the layered cognitive work that legal practice demands, where accuracy and reliability matter.

“As early adopters of Corvo, we’ve been genuinely impressed with every version Norlight has shipped,” says Priyan Raghavan, Vice President of Product at Casebinder. “Each release has delivered more accuracy, more speed, and better task performance. Now we’re glad to be running all three Corvo 3 models: Grand, Prime, and Swift.”

Improving accuracy and security with Corvo

Casebinder has folded the Corvo 3 model family into most of its generative AI products — above all to turn unstructured information into formats legal professionals can act on. Casebinder uses Corvo for the following:

“In the legal field, accuracy is critical. Lawyers need to have confidence in the information being surfaced at all times,” says Dana Whitlock, CEO of Casebinder. “Corvo strengthens our legal products by helping us deliver a better experience and empowering lawyers to uncover the details that can meaningfully change the outcome of an active case.”

Corvo also provides the level of security Casebinder needs to keep confidential legal information safe, with enterprise-grade data handling; the model family is nine times more resistant to jailbreaks and misuse than the alternatives the team evaluated. Those properties make Corvo a good fit for Casebinder’s clients, who require stringent levels of data protection.

“We take security extraordinarily seriously,” says Whitlock. “We understand the trust our clients place in us by choosing to put highly confidential information into our systems. Security came first when we chose our AI technology, and Corvo’s security posture has consistently exceeded what we expected.”

Reducing legal workloads 12–18% while raising client confidence

With Corvo in place, Casebinder has seen several benefits. Trust is paramount in the legal industry, and with Corvo the company offers AI that clients can rely on without hesitation. Corvo is accurate and presents data in a way that holds up under scrutiny, which minimises the need for legal professionals to re-review outputs.

“With every version, Norlight consistently delivers world-class reliability,” says Raghavan. “The Corvo 3 model family is far and away the most effective set of models on the market for delivering consistent results. This is where Norlight’s iterative model development truly shines.”

Corvo models are also adept at uncovering information that people may overlook, which could completely change the way an attorney approaches a case. “It’s entirely possible for lawyers to win their cases because of one piece of data that Casebinder found using Corvo,” says Whitlock.

Casebinder has also lifted client productivity since integrating its platform with Corvo models. With tools like Draft Assist, legal professionals can complete routine clerical work much faster — reviewing case files as much as 88% faster or more. “Some firms carry 18,000–26,000 cases,” says Raghavan. “Using Corvo, we have helped them cut review time from 3–5 hours to 12–18 minutes.”

Casebinder’s tools reduce workloads for paralegals and staff by 12–18%, easing pressure and freeing up time for client-focused work. That efficiency also helps firms save resources by cutting the overhead costs tied to case management.

Looking ahead, Casebinder hopes to push legal workflows further by weaving more advanced features into its platform. Corvo will continue to serve as the foundation of the company’s AI capabilities. “I imagine a day where a lawyer could make a note in Casebinder, and an AI assistant could ask, ‘Would you like me to assign someone to complete those tasks?’” says Whitlock. “Once we get to that level, we’re going to see even more efficiencies.”
