I should note - yes, my wife sees no problem at all with this workflow.

My understanding of the workflow is that they will send a clean copy as well as the redline to each other. Sometimes someone will in response further modify the wrong copy, and send back, which causes problems as it becomes unclear what was accepted and what was not and someone has to manually go through and check things. I hear that complaint come up - so I know there is at least one pain point involved.




... and what is the consequence of this 'problem' to the billable hours?


At least some portion of attorneys, like my wife, work as in house counsel and therefore do actually have efficiency as a nominal goal.


The in house counsels are probably the weak underbelly of the law industry. Any startup thinking of disrupting this area should probably target the in house lawyers first.
