Ropes & Gray and OpenAI build deal due diligence tool
What happened
Law firm Ropes & Gray worked with OpenAI to build a proprietary AI tool for deal due diligence, OpenAI News reported on October 29. The tool reads through thousands of pages, sorts documents by topic and issue, and produces summaries and full reports in the firm's format. The report describes its ability as equal to a competent junior to mid-level lawyer, but the output is only a first draft and lawyers still review everything. Ropes & Gray also uses GPT-6 Astra and says the goal is to cut issue-level due diligence report production from weeks to hours; the report does not say that goal has been reached.
