Custom AI for law firms and legal departments.

Legal work is document work under a duty of confidentiality. We build contract review, clause search and matter-knowledge tools that run on hardware inside your firm, so privileged material never goes to an outside model service.

Lawyers adopt tools that save hours without putting the client relationship at risk. In practice that means a citation to the source document behind every answer, access that follows your ethical walls, and a record of who asked what.

We work with the document and practice management systems you already use, and start with one high-volume task, such as first-pass contract review against your playbook, before widening.

FAQ

Questions we hear first.

Does it respect ethical walls?

Search and agents filter results by the permissions in your document management system where the connector supports it, and we test the walls explicitly before launch.

Will lawyers trust the output?

They shouldn't have to take it on trust. Every answer cites the clause or page it came from, and drafts are marked as drafts.

Can it run entirely inside our network?

Yes. It runs on hardware in your office or colocation, with no dependence on an outside model service.
