Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Client-Friendly Tone skill transforms dense legal communications into clear, plain-language documents that clients actually understand. It replaces jargon, leads with conclusions, highlights action items with deadlines, and structures everything for easy scanning—all while preserving the full legal substance of the original.

Legal professionals spend significant time manually rewriting documents to make them accessible to clients. Jargon-heavy drafts confuse clients, bury critical action items, and generate unnecessary follow-up calls—wasting time for both attorneys and their clients.

CaseMark's AI instantly rewrites any client-facing legal document in plain language, leading with bottom-line conclusions and surfacing every action item with clear deadlines. The result is professional, empathetic correspondence that clients understand the first time they read it.

  2. 2. AI analyzes the document for jargon, structure, and tone issues

Questions

What types of documents can this skill rewrite?

CaseMark's Client-Friendly Tone skill handles engagement letters, status updates, strategy memos, settlement recommendations, invoice cover letters, and any client-facing legal correspondence. If it's going to a client, this skill can make it clearer.

Does the rewrite preserve the legal substance of my document?

Absolutely. CaseMark rewrites for clarity while preserving all legal substance. Legal terms are translated to plain language on first use, with the original term retained in parentheses so nothing is lost for the record.

Can I control the reading level or sophistication of the output?

Yes. CaseMark allows you to specify the audience's sophistication level and the emotional context of the matter, so the output is appropriately calibrated—whether your client is a seasoned executive or a first-time litigant.

How does the skill handle action items and deadlines?

CaseMark automatically identifies all items requiring client decision or response and presents them as clearly bolded or bulleted items with specific deadlines and responsible parties, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Will this work for adverse or sensitive communications?

Yes. When the matter is stressful or the outcome is adverse, CaseMark opens with empathetic framing before delivering the substance, striking the right balance between honesty and sensitivity.

How long does the AI rewrite take?

Most documents are rewritten in under 6 minutes. CaseMark processes the full document, restructures it for scanning, replaces jargon, and highlights action items—all in a fraction of the time manual editing would require.
