Ballard Spahr cuts research time 60% and saves $2 million with Neudesic

Ballard Spahr, a national law firm, wanted to streamline the preparation of research-intensive proposals and reduce nonbillable hours for its lawyers and staff. To address this challenge, the firm partnered with vendor Neudesic to leverage the power of AI, specifically utilizing Azure OpenAI services.

Neudesic developed two custom AI solutions for Ballard Spahr: the Ask Ellis chatbot for drafting communications and the Ballard X-Ray repository for document search. This implementation led to significant results, including an estimated $2 million in savings from unplanned losses and a 60% reduction in nonbillable research time. The firm also cut proposal preparation time by approximately two hours per proposal.
