Ask a legal team why adoption stalls and you will hear about security review, or budget, or change management. All real. None of them the actual reason.
20 July 2026
For as long as I can remember, I've been hyper-efficient at my job. So efficient that by the time I left a given role, I was so productive that I was often replaced with two or more people just so they could keep up.
In one role, for example, by merging multiple contract templates into a single unified version, and shifting responsibility for similar contracts from other teams onto mine, I was able to increase annual executed contract output from ~100 to ~300, without additional resources.
Now, with AI, I'm even more productive than that. So I built a consultancy to get you there too.
I call it Ariadni's Thread, the guide in your legal ops and technology journey.
Ask a legal team why adoption stalls and you'll hear about security review, or budget, or change management. All real. None of them the actual reason.
Lawyers frankly don't like to be sold legal technology from people who've never practiced. Why would they? Non-lawyers don't share, for example, the sheer gravity of the fiduciary duties imposed on lawyers. Or the burden that output quality can make or break a career.
And founders and CEOs want to make sure that their hard-earned cash is being spent wisely, with ROI they can actually assess.
That's what Ariadni's Thread does for you.
And I certainly know how to operationalize efficiencies “like whoa.” (That's a legal term of art.)
This year, for my law practice, because of AI and automation built on top of an already efficient service model, I took a fully financed acquisition from letter of intent to closing, alone.
30-plus legal instruments, ~570 drafts over six months, four counterparties, four states, ~1,440 emails, and 171 billed hours. After a year of tuning my own toolkit, my median draft turnaround went from about 12 hours to 2.6. An entire team's worth of work, entirely solo. By the end of it, I was operating at ~5x the productivity.
And it held.
Read: I'm doing the same workload in ~20% of the time it took just a few months ago, all in my clients' favor (thanks to the billable hour).
It wasn't the technology. Every firm has access to the same tech that I do. It was knowing which workflow to drop, which to automate, what to buy vs. build, and what “good” looks like when a model produces a draft. That viewpoint is the value-add.
Ariadni's Thread is legal consulting for in-house teams. Buy vs. build, vendor selection, builds and custom software, implementation, tuning, automation, training.
Even outside counsel assessment, so you know, for example, whether your startup actually needs $2k/hour lawyers. (Spoiler alert: doubt.)
My practice runs at nearly 5x. Your team has a number too.
Let's go find it.
Thirty minutes, your real workflow on the table or just a chat. You'll deal with Damian directly regardless. Tell him where it's stuck, and he'll come back to you with a proposal.
