As a lawyer and a programmer, this is a project I worked on for a bit as it makes perfect sense for things like document comparisons, or for a more senior lawyer reviewing a junior's work (just do a pull request on the contract etc). The problem with it is, as others have said, that you are fighting an industry. The whole model is built around 6 minute units and the work is passed down to junior lawyers in order to make it as profitable as possible. There's a little bit of pushback from a company on occasion, but most pay as having your lawyer do it is, in effect, a form of insurance. You can always sue the law firm if it all goes wrong. The better way to look at doing something like this would be to turn the legal industry on its head and make a law firm that's tech-enabled from the ground up. Most of the incumbents are now using tech (think Dentons etc) but none have been built with tech in mind. You could then massively undercut the market and have far more efficient working practices which would make you the go-to. I actually gave a TEDx talk on all this stuff as I found the industry to be extremely frustrating and small-minded when it came to entrepreneurial activity.
