Oak for Legal Sector Customised meeting notes that hold up to client process — and to audit.
Client situation
Law firms manage a high volume of meetings throughout the day — client consultations, witness interviews, case strategy sessions, internal partner reviews. Sifting through countless notes and summaries, all of which must adhere to specific templates, creates a real bottleneck.
The substantial time required to manually transcribe and summarise these meetings consistently impacts overall productivity. Each case requires a high degree of attention to detail, particularly when it comes to financial data and legal stipulations.
Generic AI meeting tools often fail to capture these critical elements accurately. As a result, the summaries produced lack focus — missing key information that is crucial for making informed decisions.
The Oak solution
- → Prioritise the key areas specified by the client, focusing on critical elements like financial details and age-related legal stipulations.
- → Enable customised templates, ensuring summaries align perfectly with the client's requirements and their specific way of organising and interpreting meeting content.
- → Citation-style timestamps on every line of transcript — every claim traceable to the second.
Key achievements
- Consistent and reliable case documentation
- Increased efficiency and alignment with client processes
- Audit-ready trails with citation-style timestamps
- Hours back per partner, per week

Common questions from legal buyers
How does Oak handle client confidentiality?
Every workspace is isolated. Recordings, transcripts, and summaries are encrypted at rest and in transit, so a litigation team's data stays separate from corporate work, and vice versa.
Can Oak follow our specific case-note template?
Yes. You define the template once — sections, headings, required fields, even tone — and Oak applies it to every meeting in that matter. Many firms have one template per practice area.
What about Cantonese-speaking clients?
This is Oak's core strength. Cantonese transcription is industry-leading, including code-switching with English and Mandarin and recognition of Cantonese business jargon. See Cantonese Meeting Transcription Guide.
How are timestamps useful for legal work?
Every line of transcript carries a timestamp linked to the audio. When a client disputes what was said, partners can jump to the exact moment in seconds — no scrolling, no manual cueing. See Timestamped Transcripts and Speaker Identification.
