BriefCatch expands into unified legal writing suite with verification tools
Ross Guberman, founder and CEO of BriefCatch, has spent more than two decades teaching legal writing to lawyers, judges and government agencies. He built BriefCatch in 2018 as a Microsoft‑Word add‑in that uses AI and natural‑language processing to give real‑time editing suggestions, analytics and guidance tailored to legal professionals.
Key points
- BriefCatch, founded in 2018, now offers a unified suite with editing, citation checking, verification and learning tools
- Founder Ross Guberman says verification will provide most of legal AI's value, beyond draft generation
- The platform works inside Microsoft Word and targets law firms, judges, courts and government agencies
The platform is now being relaunched as a unified suite that includes the original editor, plus CiteCheck, RealityCheck and a Learning Hub. Guberman says the focus has shifted from speeding first drafts to verifying arguments, citations and logical flow. He warns that generative AI can make weak arguments sound airtight, so tools that check whether a cited case actually supports a proposition are essential. The suite aims to help solo practitioners as well as large firms, offering both automated edits and educational content to improve lawyers’ own writing skills.
Guberman envisions an “always‑on reviewer” that flags substantive changes, tracks verification status and leaves strategic decisions to the lawyer, making AI a partner rather than a replacement in legal drafting and review.
