𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁: Over its 125-year history, Harrison Drury has established a reputation grounded in trusted legal counsel. Maintaining that standard calls for technology that respects the nuances of long-standing expertise.
To ensure a smooth rollout of August across all nine offices, engineers worked alongside corporate, property, and finance teams to co-develop workflows tailored to each practice area. Managing Partner Simon England highlighted the core of the partnership: "The technology handles a lot of the process; our people handle the judgment and the advice."
By automating repeatable tasks through August, Harrison Drury protects its team's time and keeps high-value advisory work at the center of the client relationship.

147 transaction documents. 12 seconds.
This is what M&A diligence looks like when August runs the review — contracts flagged, buyer-side issues compiled, counterpositions drafted, so your team gets to strategy faster.
Law firms don't have a compounding asset.
Software has codebases. Media has libraries. Finance has data. Law has partners — and when they leave, it's gone.
If capital compounds and data compounds, why shouldn't expertise?
𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁: Dunning Vallejo & MacDonald LLP's New York litigation team treats massive document volumes as an advantage, though associates historically paid for that thoroughness in time.
As litigation associate Marta González-Ruano notes, "Sometimes we receive a million documents, and we're the ones filtering what's important and helpful for the case."
By introducing August, DVM turned a persistent bottleneck into a streamlined advantage. A single prompt describing the case turns raw documents into organized folders in minutes, letting associates start substantive work immediately while details are fresh.
Weeks at the front of a matter are now minutes, keeping cases moving on a schedule that benefits both the firm and its clients.

𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁: For nearly a century, PNAM & Co. LLP has been a trusted advisor to Indian businesses. Today, they are pairing that 100-year legacy with cutting-edge efficiency.
The New Delhi-based firm, covering assurance, tax, and advisory, now uses August to streamline research, initial drafting, and standardized administrative workflows across their practice.
According to Gurcharan Singh, Associate Director for Legal and Regulatory, "We also use it for things beyond legal research. Standardised admin tasks that sound simple but used to eat up hours. August just handles them."
At August, we are honored to partner with a firm that has spent ten decades earning client trust and continues to lead the way in modernizing professional services.
This is the exact category of workflow Hicksons uses to cut document review by ~90%. Institutional knowledge, put to work.
𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁: What does legal AI look like inside a national community services charity?
Every service Mission Australia delivers begins with an agreement. A funding contract has to be reviewed, interpreted, and reduced to the commitments that govern the work, and that review sets the pace for everything after it.
Mission Australia's legal team uses August to move through those agreements at speed and surface the obligations frontline staff are accountable for. Capacity that once went into reading now goes into delivery.
Simon Anderson, Contract Specialist at Mission Australia: "We can see people go from absolute rock bottom to finding a home, finding a job, finding stability in their lives. The work I do is feeding into that."
At Mission Australia, legal capacity is measured in how quickly a signed agreement becomes support for someone who needs it.

𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁: Hicksons Lawyers is helping decide what legal AI becomes.
At the firm, the voluminous work that once filled a junior lawyer's first years now runs through August, and that time goes into strategic advice and earning client trust.
Elias Dehsabzi, Associate and Legal Digital Transformation Manager, treats the past year as an early marker. August keeps maturing, and Hicksons keeps pressing it against real practice.
Innovation built inside real practice decides what the legal landscape looks like in five years.

What happens when 70+ years of legal expertise becomes accessible to the entire firm?
Hicksons Lawyers worked with August to build an end-to-end AI-powered solution, shaped around how their lawyers actually work.
Elias Dehsabzi, Associate and Digital Lead, describes the effect: "August raises the collective knowledge and productivity of the firm."
Document review time is down around 90%, and senior lawyers can share prompts, chat histories, and workflows across the firm. Knowledge that once stayed trapped in individual files now compounds across generations.

𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁: Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP calls August a strategic investment in the firm's future.
Founded over 130 years ago and ranked in the AmLaw 200, Hughes Hubbard is showing what that investment looks like at institutional scale. Robb Patryk, Managing Partner, frames the decade ahead: "Scale alone is no longer a differentiator. What matters is how intelligently a firm deploys its talent and collaborates with clients to solve complex problems."
Deploying talent intelligently starts with configuration. August is built to Hughes Hubbard's own standards, precedent, templates, and house style, so the work product reflects how the firm actually practices and its institutional knowledge compounds with every matter.
August gives the firm's lawyers and business teams a way to work faster and more cohesively without sacrificing the judgment clients rely on, for the practice and the business of law.

Hi, it’s August... no, not the month.
August is an AI-powered legal workspace and assistant designed specifically for law firms and legal teams.
All month long, we’re celebrating the innovative firms working with us to build the law firm of the future. Twice a week, they'll tell you about how August is transforming their practice.
Get ready: 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 officially kicks off tomorrow.
August’s Agents convert institutional knowledge into operational capacity.
Expertise lives across thousands of legacy contracts, buried in redlines, and locked inside the minds of busy practitioners. The result? The same complex work is reinvented repeatedly, compounding hidden costs with every iteration.
Unlike traditional automation, an August Agent plans its own approach, adapts to document complexity, and works directly from your firm’s historical precedent. By spinning up specialized sub-agents, a single prompt orchestrates parallel streams of research, drafting, and risk review.
From individual agreements to enterprise-scale MSA reviews across thousands of documents, August executes complex workflows end-to-end.
Transform what your firm knows into how your firm operates with August.

Why does Harrison Drury choose August over off-the-shelf legal AI?
Since partnering with Harrison Drury Solicitors for a firmwide rollout, our forward-deployed engineers have been working inside the firm, learning how each team actually works and building custom workflows to match.
These custom workflows have delivered better, faster, and higher-quality legal work across every department, from corporate, property, and family through to finance, HR, and business development.
Hear from Simon England (Managing Partner), Malcolm Ireland (Legal Services Partner), and Martin Holmes (Head of IT) as they explain what changed, and why generic AI tools were not going to cut it.

Dunning Vallejo & MacDonald LLP saw where legal practice is heading and they partnered with August to get there first.
August's engineering team builds workflows around the firm's lawyers, transformation support carries AI into daily practice, and back office support runs the firm like a modern company. DVM now competes on capability well beyond its headcount.
"We just feel like somebody has our backs," says founding partner Brian Dunning. "It's so vital to the firm right now, and to the future of the firm."
Watch the team reflect on the partnership below.
・・・
Dunning Vallejo & MacDonald vio hacia dónde se dirige la práctica jurídica y se asoció con August para llegar primero.
El equipo de ingeniería de August construye flujos de trabajo en torno a los abogados de la firma, el soporte de transformación lleva la IA a la práctica diaria y el soporte administrativo permite operar la firma como una empresa moderna. DVM hoy compite por capacidad, mucho más allá de su número de abogados.
"Sentimos que alguien nos respalda", afirma el socio fundador Brian Dunning. "Es vital para la firma en este momento, y para el futuro de la firma."

Dunning Vallejo & MacDonald is quickly rewriting what's possible for boutique law firms.
For litigators, the usual approach is to grow headcount to match the size of the fight. DVM's founders left larger New York firms in 2019 to build their own, keeping the team small while taking on international disputes, M&A, and corporate finance work that typically calls for a much bigger bench.
August's technology, built for how lawyers actually work, became the quiet backbone of that bet, carrying the heaviest tasks so the team could stay focused on the cases and the clients themselves.
How August does that is worth seeing for yourself.
