Tweetable Moments:

“It’s one of the most impactful problems I think I’ve worked on because of how painful it is for individual attorneys and how much is being left on the table.” — Arvind Suljeeth
“We want to kind of get as close to what you as an attorney would have written yourself. That means learning your own habits, learning your own styles, and your own preferences.” — Arvind Suljeeth
“This tool basically integrates into existing software that the attorney uses, and then it monitors the activity in that software and tries to pre-populate a bill.” — Alay Yajnik
“We’ve tried to take a very kind of multi-pronged approach. We try to minimize the amount of sensitive data that we have to begin with, and then, for the pieces that we do have, making sure that we’re always following state-of-the-art best practices in every dimension.” — Arvind Suljeeth
