BriefCatch

BriefCatch is a legal writing assistant that seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Word and Outlook to deliver real-time, AI-powered editing suggestions tailored specifically for the legal profession. It aims to help its users create more compelling and persuasive legal documents by providing immediate, concrete ways to tighten, brighten, and strengthen their prose. 

BriefCatch offers real-time editing and proofreading, with the ability to catch common writing errors and suggest improvements. It provides scores on five key metrics: Flow, Punchiness, Plain English, Reading Happiness, and Average Sentence length. It also offers an interactive feature, allowing users to see proposed edits and accept or reject them individually or en masse.

In March 2026, BriefCatch launched RealityCheck.  RealityCheck is a citation-verification capability introduced by BriefCatch that helps legal professionals identify errors in legal authorities before filing documents with a court. Integrated into the drafting and review workflow, the feature checks case and statute citations against authoritative legal databases and analyzes whether quoted language and cited authorities accurately support the legal propositions presented. By combining deterministic citation validation with AI-assisted analysis, RealityCheck is designed to detect issues such as fabricated citations, misstated holdings, unsupported propositions, and hallucinated quotations, helping attorneys and courts identify and correct authority errors prior to submission.

Trusted by 40+ of the AmLaw 200, 70+ federal and state judicial chambers, and tens of thousands of attorneys across the private and public sectors, BriefCatch is the go-to tool for those who crave precision and clarity in legal writing.

Created by Ross Guberman, a globally recognized authority in legal writing who trains all new federal judges, BriefCatch harnesses a proprietary, patent-protected algorithm built on years of in-depth analysis of leading legal and judicial writers. Unlike general editing tools, BriefCatch is crafted to meet the high standards of legal professionals, helping lawyers achieve better outcomes, improve efficiency, and slash needless write-offs.
