Built for the firms inside Legal

Pick the firm shape closest to yours

Each card opens a playbook built for a firm shaped like yours, with real workflows and a number on the outcome.

What you're actually dealing with

The work that's eating your team

You know what's broken. Here are the parts the system can run without you.

Senior people doing junior work

Associates are doing paralegal work; paralegals are doing assistant work; assistants are doing data entry. The leverage pyramid is inverted because the firm has no layer below the associate that can handle the structured-but-substantive work. AI is that layer.

Deadlines drive practice, and miss-rate is existential

A missed statute of limitations, a missed USPTO response date, a missed motion deadline can be malpractice. The calendar is the heartbeat of the firm. AI runs the calendar relentlessly so humans don't have to.

Documents are the deliverable, and they're assembled, not written

80% of legal documents are 80% template. The valuable part is the 20% of judgment + nuance + strategy. AI assembles the 80%; the attorney refines the 20%. Nothing about practicing law changes, the typing time disappears.

Conflicts checks happen at intake, and never again

Most firms run conflicts at engagement and don't recheck as new matters arrive. AI does continuous conflict monitoring against the firm's growing matter inventory.

Status reporting is half the partner's day

Clients want updates. Insurance carriers want updates. Co-counsel want updates. Partners want updates. AI generates client-ready status updates from the matter file with a partner edit.

Privilege is sacred, and AI can break it if mishandled

Sending privileged matter to a public AI is a non-starter. Every workflow we build assumes the AI runs inside the firm's controlled environment, with no model training on firm data and no third-party data egress without an attorney opt-in per matter.

Named workflows, not categories. Expand a group to see exactly what each one does and where it slots into your stack.

Intake & conflicts

4 workflows

Getting matters in the door without partner triage burning hours.

  • Conflicts check & matter intake

    Live

    New-matter intake form auto-runs a continuous conflicts check against the firm's matter inventory + adverse-party registry + lawyer disclosure files. Matters with potential conflicts route to the conflict-check committee with the supporting evidence pre-assembled.

    Live

    Inbound leads from TV / digital ads get qualified by SMS within 90 seconds against case-specific criteria. Qualified leads are routed to retainer; unqualified get a polite redirect or referral.

Phased rollout

What the first 6 months look like

We ship in phases, each with a measurable success criterion before the next phase begins.

1

Weeks 1-4

Foundation: intake + conflicts + calendar

  • Conflicts check & matter intake live
  • Engagement letter generator live with partner-approved templates
  • Litigation calendar + deadline orchestrator live with court rules loaded

By end of Phase 1, no matter starts without conflicts cleared, no deadline exists outside the orchestrator, and the firm has an audit-grade activity log.

2

Weeks 5-12

Document handling: discovery + assembly

  • Discovery response drafter live (litigation)
  • Closing-checklist orchestrator live (transactional)
  • Office action response drafter live (IP)

By end of Phase 2, attorneys recover 30-50% of time on first-draft document assembly with no degradation in review quality.

3

Weeks 13-20

Volume + automation maturity

  • NDA auto-redline live (in-house)
  • Mass tort lead qualifier live with 4-6x throughput (plaintiff)
  • Outside counsel invoice review live (in-house)

By end of Phase 3, volume-driven workflows scale 3-6x without proportional headcount and the firm's most-repetitive tasks are handled by AI under attorney sign-off.

4

Weeks 21-26

Intelligence + practice management

  • Litigation hold orchestrator live (in-house)
  • Compliance training tracker live (in-house)
  • Partner / managing-partner dashboard live: matters by status, capacity, deadline risk, AR, conflict status

By end of Phase 4, the managing partner has a single dashboard answering 'where are we, where's the risk, where's the capacity?' and the firm operates more like a managed business than a constellation of inboxes.

Compliance & governance

What the AI is allowed to do, and what it isn't

Every workflow assumes attorney sign-off on anything that creates a duty to a client, a court, or a regulator. The AI's job is to assemble facts and draft work product. The attorney's job is to decide.

Attorney-client privilege & work product

The single most important boundary in legal work. Anything that breaks privilege risks malpractice, sanction, and irreparable client harm.

  • All AI calls run inside the firm's controlled environment with no third-party model training on firm data
  • Anthropic / OpenAI enterprise BAAs in place where required
  • Per-matter encryption keys; access controlled by lawyer + matter assignment
  • Privilege review workflow flags suspected privileged documents but never auto-produces them
  • No client / matter data egresses to a public model under any condition without explicit per-matter attorney opt-in

Boundary: AI never independently advises a client, never files a document with a court / agency, never produces documents to opposing counsel without attorney sign-off.

State bar ethics rules (Rule 1.6, 1.7, 1.18, 5.5)

Confidentiality (1.6), conflicts (1.7), prospective clients (1.18), and unauthorized practice of law (5.5) all interact with how AI is used. The firm, not the AI, is responsible for compliance.

  • Continuous conflicts monitoring across the matter inventory
  • Prospective-client information firewalled until conflicts cleared
  • AI clearly identified as a tool, never as 'counsel'
  • All client communications generated by AI clearly flow through an attorney

HIPAA (plaintiff / mass tort with medical records)

Plaintiff firms handling medical record retrieval are HIPAA-covered for the records they hold under client authorization.

  • BAA executed where required
  • PHI encrypted at rest and in transit
  • Access controlled to assigned matter team
  • Audit log of every PHI access

SOC 2 Type II (platform-level)

Insurance carriers, in-house clients, and large institutional clients increasingly require SOC 2 from any vendor handling matter data.

  • SOC 2 Type II audit on the underlying infrastructure
  • Documented incident-response and breach-notification
  • Encrypted backups with documented recovery objectives
