At Walden Macht Haran & Williams LLP, the work is rarely small.
Investigations come with dense fact packets. Commercial disputes arrive with years of history. White collar matters require precedent that is not just relevant, but precise.
For a litigation boutique operating at that level, the constraint is never judgment. It is time and fragmentation.
Lucio has become part of how the firm solves that.
From scattered research to grounded answers
Before Lucio, legal research meant combing through multiple databases, pulling cases manually, and stitching together analysis across open tabs.
“It wasn’t that we couldn’t find the answer,” says , Partner at WMHW. “It’s that it took real time to be confident we had seen the full landscape.”
Lucio crawls through millions of court records and returns citation-backed answers tied directly to underlying decisions. Instead of surface summaries, the team receives structured analysis grounded in primary authority.
“It goes straight to the cases that matter,” explains. “And we can verify everything. That changes how quickly we can test a position.”
Research that once required extended manual review is now surfaced in minutes, with links back to source material.
Engagement letters without the back and forth
Drafting engagement letters was never strategic work. It was necessary work.
Formatting. Cross-checking defined terms. Making sure tone and structure aligned with firm standards.
“With engagement letters, you want them clean and consistent,” says , Senior Associate. “But it is not where you want to spend your cognitive energy.”
Inside Microsoft Word, Lucio helps draft and refine engagement letters directly within the firm’s templates. Revisions appear in redline. Lawyers maintain full control.
“What used to take careful manual passes now takes a fraction of the time,” says. “We can move them along confidently.”
Chronologies built in minutes, not hours
The biggest shift came in fact review.
In complex matters, building a chronology is foundational. Before Lucio, timelines were assembled manually across spreadsheets and notes.
“You would upload a packet, read everything, start mapping events, cross-reference dates,” says , Associate. “It was meticulous work.”
With Lucio’s Dashboard, the team uploads fact packets and generates structured chronologies automatically. Key events are surfaced in one view. Gaps become visible earlier.
“It gives us a clean frame of the record,” says. “You can see the story of the case before you start arguing it.”
Built for litigators
Lucio did not replace the firm’s judgment. It removed the mechanical steps around it.

“We were not looking for novelty,” says. “We were looking for something that fits the way we work. Lucio helps us move from information to insight faster.”
Anshul Butani, Head of Business Development at Lucio, adds, “Our goal is simple. Research grounded in primary sources. Drafting that stays in context. Dashboards that bring structure to complex records.”
At WMHW, clarity is leverage.
And when the record is heavy and the stakes are real, leverage matters.
