Legal software that

without complaining.

Privilege architecture is a first-week design decision, not a retrospective control. We design data models with matter-level access controls, strict privilege walls between client matters, and audit logs on every document access. No matter data crosses into another matter's context - including AI model inputs. Our systems are designed so that accidental disclosure of privileged material through software is architecturally impossible, not just policy-restricted.

Never. Client documents are never used to train or fine-tune models that will be used by other clients. When we build AI features, we either use models the client already has licensing rights to, fine-tune on a client's own document corpus in an isolated environment, or use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) that does not modify the underlying model. This is documented contractually before any AI feature is built.

Usually yes. We have built integrations with Clio, iManage, NetDocuments, SOS Connect, Leap, Lawmatics, and a number of bespoke legacy practice management systems. The integration approach depends on what APIs are available - we will audit your current system in the discovery phase and tell you what is possible and at what cost before any build begins.

By involving them before the design is finished, not after the build. We run shadow sessions with actual users in week one, prototype with a small pilot group before full rollout, and design the onboarding for people who have more important things to do than learn new tools. We also work with your IT and BD teams on the change management piece - because the adoption plan matters as much as the software.

All production data is hosted in UK data centres by default - AWS eu-west-2 (London) or Azure UK South. We do not use third-party processors that transfer data outside the UK or EEA without explicit written consent and the appropriate safeguards. For firms with international offices, we can architect multi-region setups with appropriate data isolation per jurisdiction.

Most bespoke legal software builds run between $45,000 and $150,000 depending on scope, and take 12–20 weeks from kick-off to launch. AI document review tools and CLM platforms sit at the larger end. We scope every engagement precisely - with a line-item breakdown - before you commit. We do not do open-ended hourly engagements for builds; everything is fixed-scope so you know what you are getting and what it costs.
