How do you handle confidentiality and privilege?

Least-privilege access, encrypted transport, minimal retention, and explicit data-handling terms in our engagement. Your security requirements drive architecture from day one.

Is AI safe for legal documents?

With guardrails: retrieval over your own documents, no training on your data by default, and attorney review before anything leaves the building. We scope pilots your GC can defend.

How we work with law firms and legal operations teams

Legal work runs on documents, deadlines, and confidentiality. We build client intake and portal experiences, matter and document workflows, and integrations with practice-management systems—designed for privilege, access control, and the audit trail your malpractice carrier expects.

AI-assisted drafting and document triage are valuable here precisely because review is non-negotiable: we build human-in-the-loop flows where automation drafts and attorneys decide.

Practice-management and billing system integrations

Systems and integrations

Typical surrounding systems: Clio and practice-management platforms, document management, e-signature, billing, and calendaring/docketing tools.

Integration work follows the same discipline everywhere: documented source of truth per field, idempotent jobs with retries, and error visibility so operators are not stuck when a vendor API fails. See how we phase delivery and case studies for how that plays out.
