HopgoodGanim | Case Study

Who

HopgoodGanim is a leading full-service Australian law firm, trusted by clients across all sectors to deliver high-quality legal advice in a wide range of practice areas, including corporate, property and finance transactions. The firm is known for its collaborative culture and commitment to efficiency, continually investing in technology that enables lawyers to focus on strategic legal analysis and reduces the burden of tedious administrative tasks.

The challenge

Before adopting Deeligence, managing document allocation, tracking progress and compiling reports involved multiple tools and manual coordination which was particularly challenging and time consuming. Endless email threads, spreadsheets and check-ins made it difficult to see who was responsible for what, especially across multiple offices.

The firm wanted a unified solution that would simplify task allocation, improve visibility and reduce duplication, while maintaining the precision and quality their clients expect.

Transforming the way due diligence gets done

The impact of introducing Deeligence was immediate. Lawyers were completing reviews up to 83% faster. Special Counsel Sarah Judge explained, “A task which can take hours when undertaken manually took me only 20 minutes.”

The team rated Deeligence’s AI review accuracy 9 out of 10. Judge added, “It’s not a replacement for a human, but it still saves a considerable amount of time. I only changed a few things, it’s generally very accurate.”

For Elizabeth Harvey, Special Counsel, one of the standout improvements was the ability to assign and manage work digitally. “The ability to delegate is so useful,” she said. Collaboration was also much smoother across offices, making it easier for teams to stay aligned without endless email traffic.

Harvey particularly valued the transparency that Deeligence brought to the process: “You can see who’s done what without needing to ask, and it clearly shows the team’s progress.”

The team found Deeligence intuitive from day one. Judge noted,

‍“This is just what we need - it saves us a significant amount of time, and only took 20 minutes of training.”

Delivering smarter outcomes for clients

By adopting Deeligence, HopgoodGanim has streamlined its entire due diligence process, cutting review time, improving accuracy and giving teams real-time visibility over progress.

Summing up the experience:

‍“Deeligence helps us assign contracts, review issues, and have relevant clauses identified with AI, it makes everything so much quicker and easier,” said Harvey.

Deeligence is a key part of HopgoodGanim’s commitment to delivering faster, higher-quality due diligence, helping the firm stay ahead of client expectations and lead with innovation.
