The legal profession has long resisted change. Manual processes, rigid structures, and inefficiencies have defined how lawyers work for centuries. Katya Fisher, an attorney-turned-innovator, saw these challenges not as barriers but as opportunities to redefine the practice of law.
Drawing on her experience as a practicing lawyer, Katya built Aracor AI, a platform designed to address the inefficiencies she encountered daily. Now, she is leading a movement that combines human expertise with AI to modernize legal practice and make it more effective.
“Aracor is the lawyer’s AI,” Fisher says. “It’s built to solve the problems I faced, giving lawyers the tools to focus on what really matters.”
From Practice to Innovation
Fisher’s path to innovation began in the trenches of legal practice. As a partner at an AM200 law firm and later as Chief Legal Officer of Constructor Group, she managed multimillion-dollar legal budgets and oversaw operations across ten countries. The inefficiencies she faced — manual compliance checks, document redaction, and time-consuming contract reviews — highlighted a glaring need for better tools.
“Legal practice is full of bottlenecks that waste time and resources,” Fisher explains. “I built Aracor to eliminate those bottlenecks, freeing lawyers to focus on strategy and advocacy.”
This firsthand perspective shaped every aspect of Aracor. Unlike many tech solutions built outside the industry, Aracor was designed by someone who deeply understands the challenges lawyers face and what they need to succeed.
How AI is Changing Legal Workflows
At the heart of Aracor’s success is its ability to automate tedious, repetitive tasks. Document redaction, contract analysis, and compliance monitoring are handled with speed and precision, enabling lawyers to complete work in a fraction of the time. The platform’s proprietary Secure Language Model also ensures sensitive information remains secure, making it a trusted tool for high-stakes transactions.
Blair Flicker, advisor to Aracor and recently retired General Counsel at Insight Partners, emphasizes the platform’s transformative effect on workflows. “Aracor is redefining efficiency in legal practice. By automating repetitive tasks, it not only saves time but also allows lawyers to focus on strategic, high-stakes matters,” Flicker says.
Aracor Law: Bridging Technology and Expertise
Fisher’s vision extends beyond software. With Aracor Law, an Alternative Business Structure (ABS), she is demonstrating how AI and human expertise can coexist to deliver better legal services. The ABS model, which allows for non-lawyer ownership of law firms, lets Aracor Law integrate AI seamlessly into its operations while maintaining high standards of client service.
“Aracor Law won’t replace attorneys. That’s not what it’s about,” Fisher says. “It’s about creating a model where technology amplifies what lawyers can do, making legal services more efficient and accessible.”
This hybrid approach positions Aracor Law as both a testing ground for AI integration and a bridge between traditional legal expertise and cutting-edge tools.
Co-Intelligence: The Future of Law
For Fisher, the concept of co-intelligence — humans and AI working together — is at the core of Aracor’s mission. She believes the future of law depends on collaboration between lawyers’ expertise and the speed and accuracy of AI. This vision is reflected in every feature of Aracor, from its AI-driven workflows to its emphasis on data security.
“Lawyers bring judgment, creativity, and strategy to the table,” Fisher says. “AI brings precision, scalability, and speed. Together, they’re unstoppable.”
Despite its potential, the legal industry has been hesitant to fully embrace technology. While other fields have rapidly adopted digital transformation, progress in legal services has been much slower. Fisher views this reluctance as a challenge the profession must overcome.
“Change is coming, whether we like it or not,” she says. “The lawyers who embrace technology today will lead the profession tomorrow.”
Redefining Legal Practice
Fisher envisions a legal profession where AI handles repetitive tasks, leaving lawyers to focus on creativity, advocacy, and client relationships. She also believes the ABS model will play a pivotal role in accelerating this shift by integrating technology into legal practice more effectively.
With Aracor AI and Aracor Law, Fisher is utilizing her experience to lead the charge. Her tools are streamlining workflows and redefining what it means to practice law in the modern era.
