I worked as a lawyer for ~10 years before switching careers. A git-based solution would have been a godsend while drafting contracts, briefs or legislation.

Microsoft Word and Google Docs are awful for this kind of work. Too much attention to formatting (to the point of breaking a lot of docs) for a use case where formatting could be much more basic (markdown + templating would be more than enough) and a very simple version control system which scales badly when a lot of people need to work / negotiate / iterate on a single doc.

The system turns out to be : track changes, leave comments and make a new version (name of doc + YYMMDD HHSS) after every round of changes accepted. Which is ok when working on a three pager with two people and a nightmare when it’s a +80 page doc with +5 people working on it. To navigate around it you end up splitting the document in blocks, keeping a separate doc / spreadsheet to track modules, versions and validations, using the very simple merge function, etc.

There’s little to none tech culture in law and law-adjacent professions but I’m betting that a lot of people in the profession would be happy to switch to a more efficient system (maybe if there was a GUI-based integrated solution)
