AI for Law Firms
We build AI systems for solo and small law firms — intake automation, document summarization, scheduling, and research support — designed from the first conversation around confidentiality, privilege, and the ethics rules your bar association cares about.
Book an AI Strategy Call →Products like Harvey are priced for AmLaw 100 budgets and assume an IT department to match. Meanwhile the actual time drains at a small firm — intake, document review, scheduling, status-update calls — don't need an enterprise platform. They need focused automation built on the tools you already pay for: Microsoft 365, Clio, Google Workspace, your phone system.
That's what we build. A thin, custom AI layer over your existing stack, targeting the two or three workflows eating your evenings — quoted as a fixed fee before you commit, typically $5,000–$20,000 and shipped in 4–8 weeks.
Qualifies prospects, gathers case facts, screens for conflicts, books the consult, and delivers a clean intake memo before the first call.
Depositions, discovery, medical records, contracts — summarized into the format your attorneys actually read, with page cites back to the source.
Automated consult scheduling, court-date reminders, and client status updates that stop the where-does-my-case-stand calls.
AI-assisted first-pass research grounded in your own briefs and memos — a starting point your attorneys verify, never a substitute for judgment.
Incoming email classified, filed to the right matter, and flagged by urgency — so nothing privileged sits in a general inbox.
Data maps, provider agreements, no-training guarantees, and audit trails — the paperwork your bar and carrier expect, built in from day one.
The question we hear before any other: what happens to client data? The honest answer is that it depends entirely on how the system is architected — so we architect for it. Every engagement starts with a data map of what's privileged and where it lives. We use business-tier AI services under no-training agreements, keep privileged material out of third-party models when the matter requires it, and hand you documentation you can show your malpractice carrier or ethics counsel. If a workflow can't be automated safely, we'll tell you that too.

A 30-minute call, a written recommendation within one business day, and a fixed-fee quote if there's a build worth doing. No enterprise sales theater.
