Document automation for legal & financial services —
Your best people
are doing paperwork.
Pragma Counsel automates the manual document work that ties up senior professionals in law firms and financial services firms. We deploy in weeks — and you leave the first engagement with something running.
The problem
Expensive talent.
Expensive talent.
Cheap work.
Around €270 per hour — spent on paperwork
"It requires expertise to set up — but not to run."
In mid-market law firms and financial services firms, senior professionals spend hours each week on reporting, document processing, and compliance paperwork. The work requires their domain knowledge to define — but once defined, it should run itself.
That gap — between what only a senior person can design and what a machine can execute — is where Pragma Counsel works.

Why Pragma Counsel
Senior partners.
Senior partners.
Not another vendor.
We are not a software house, a consultancy, or a technology platform. We are a small group of senior partners who scope your problem, build the solution, and stay accountable for the outcome.
Partners on every engagement
The people you meet at the start are the people doing the work. No handoffs to juniors, no account managers between you and the technical lead.
Speed without shortcuts
Pre-built components mean deployment in weeks, not quarters. You see something working before committing to a full rollout.
Outcomes, not capabilities
We measure success in hours saved and errors eliminated. The technology is invisible. The outcome is not.
Deliberately small
We run a handful of engagements at a time. We would rather decline work than dilute the attention every client gets.
