Private when it matters

Get the productivity win — without your privileged files leaving the firm.

Most AI tools send your data to a third party. For privileged and confidential material, you don’t have to make that trade: we can run the model inside your firm, so you get the time savings while matter files stay exactly where they are. When the work isn’t sensitive, the cloud is often the faster, cheaper call — and we’ll tell you which is which.

Where it helps

The work AI can take off your team’s plate.

Concrete places AI gives your team time back — set up to fit how you already work.

Document review & summarization

Summarize discovery, contracts, and long records in minutes — on a model that never sends a page outside the firm.

First-draft generation

Draft letters, memos, and routine filings from your own templates and precedent, with an attorney always in the loop.

Intake & conflicts triage

Turn intake forms and inbound email into structured matter records and surface potential conflicts earlier.

Research synthesis

Pull statutes, precedent, and your internal work product into a grounded starting point — citations you can verify.

Deposition & transcript work

Index, search, and summarize transcripts so prep takes hours, not days.

Billing narrative cleanup

Turn terse time entries into clear, client-ready narratives without rekeying.

What stays, what leaves

Client matter file — and where it goes.

  • Client identity & contact
  • Matter facts & strategy
  • Privileged communications
  • Settlement & negotiation terms
  • Trust-account & financial data

Every field is transmitted out and processed on someone else's servers.

How your data is handled

Privacy by architecture, not by promise.

We document exactly where your data lives and how it flows. For an on-prem deployment, the answer to “what leaves?” is simple — and you can show it to a client, a partner, or an auditor.

Straight answers

What we get asked first.

Does running matter files through AI waive privilege?

Disclosing privileged material to a third party can create waiver risk — which is exactly why we deploy models that run inside your firm. With on-prem AI, privileged files are never transmitted to an outside provider, so the analysis happens without a third party ever touching the data.

Can the model train on our clients’ files?

No. On a local deployment, your documents are used to answer your prompts and nothing else — there is no third-party provider to retain them, and the model is not training on your data. You own the model and the infrastructure it runs on.

Do we have to send anything to the cloud?

No. An on-prem deployment runs entirely on hardware in your office and keeps working without an internet connection. We can also do hybrid setups where only non-sensitive work touches the cloud — your call, and we’ll tell you plainly which parts belong where.

Is this realistic for a small or mid-sized firm?

Yes. We scope deployments to the size of the firm, and because a local model has no per-token or per-seat usage bill, the economics often work better for a firm that uses AI heavily than a metered cloud subscription would.

How does this square with our ethics and confidentiality obligations?

We’re not your ethics counsel, but keeping client data inside the building is the most defensible posture for confidentiality duties. We document exactly where data lives and how it flows so you can show your work to a client, a partner, or the bar.
