Building AI for High-Trust Professional Work

William Plevy

Transactional attorney with 15+ years advising individuals, families, and business owners on corporate governance, business transactions, real estate, and succession, who built production AI legal software after identifying recurring workflow problems in practice. I understand how lawyers actually work, where their workflows break down, and how thoughtfully designed AI can reduce friction while preserving professional judgment.

I believe the next generation of professional software will not replace expertise. It will amplify it by removing repetitive work, structuring knowledge, and improving decision-making.
