Tools we wire together
Live signal
Domain-specific tooling, engineered in-house.
Every card below is a working pattern we've shipped or scoped for a real legal & professional services client — not a wishlist.
Matter & Case Management
One system for every matter, deadline, and team task. Audit-trail every client engagement instead of relying on email threads.
Client Portal & Proposals
Secure document sharing, e-signature, and automated proposal generation — a professional, trackable client experience.
Time Tracking & Billing
Automated time capture and invoicing tied to client matters. Reduce write-offs and give partners accurate utilisation views.
Contract Drafting & AI Review
Template-driven drafting plus AI-assisted clause review — first-pass red-lining in minutes, not hours.
Compliance & Filing Calendar
A central calendar for statutory filings, renewals, and recurring obligations — with reminders and escalation by client and team.
Knowledge Base & Precedents
Searchable internal knowledge base of precedents, opinions, and templates — with AI retrieval over your firm's own history.
Conflict Check & Engagement Letters
Automated conflict checks against the full client and matter database, plus generation and e-sign of engagement letters with house-standard fee terms baked in.
Trust & Client Money Accounting
Compliant trust accounting (CA bar / Bar Council requirements, IOLTA where applicable) — segregated ledgers, reconciliations, and audit trail built into the platform.
Legal Tech Stack Audit & Roadmap
Audit of your current legal-tech surface (practice mgmt, doc mgmt, e-disclosure, billing), gap analysis, and a 12-month modernisation roadmap with sequenced ROI.
Tools typically used
The pain points legal & professional services teams actually live with.
These are the workflows that quietly drain margin, staff time, and patience. Every system we build starts from one of these.
Partners running pipeline in their head
Leadership review meetings start with 'what's the status of X?' and end with the same answers from memory. No system of record, no early warning on slipping matters.
Time leakage on every matter
Associates forget to log billables in the moment. End-of-week reconstruction loses 5–15% of recoverable time per fee-earner. That's months of revenue, every year.
Document chaos across DMS, email, drives
The latest version of the contract is in someone's inbox. The signed copy is on a paralegal's drive. The precedent worth reusing is buried in a 2019 matter.
Conflict checks done by intuition
Senior partners recall who the firm has acted against. Junior partners can't. New matters slip through with conflicts that surface six weeks in.
Billing disputes & write-offs
Clients query bills two weeks after delivery. Time entries don't match emails or meetings. Partners write off rather than fight — eating margin invisibly.
Compliance & filing calendar by Outlook
ROC filings, IPR renewals, statutory deadlines — managed across personal calendars and reminders. One missed renewal and the client relationship is bruised.
AI isn't bolted on. It's built into the workflow.
Specific, working uses of LLMs and ML in real legal & professional servicesoperations — not generic “AI-powered” marketing.
Contract review copilot
First-pass redline and clause-risk analysis using an LLM tuned to your firm's playbook and house style — associates refine, partners oversee, throughput multiplies.
Matter-context Q&A
Ask plain-English questions across a matter's emails, documents, and meeting notes — and get cited answers, not a search-results page.
AI-assisted time entry
Email, calendar, and document edits get auto-suggested as billable entries with rationale — fee-earners approve in seconds. Recovery rates climb without manual logging.
Precedent retrieval over firm history
RAG-powered retrieval over your firm's past matters, opinions, and templates — so the second time someone asks a question, the answer is one query away.
Conflict-check intelligence
Cross-matter conflict checks using entity resolution across spellings, group entities, and historical adverse parties — surfacing risks humans would miss.
Bill narrative & invoice generation
From time entries, generate client-friendly bill narratives, fee summaries, and explainers — cutting disputes and partner review time.
Discovery to production, no surprises.
A four-stage framework with AI capability called out at each step — so you can see exactly where machine learning earns its keep.
- 01
Discovery & matter-flow mapping
We map your matter intake, billing, and document flow across practice areas. You leave with a written plan covering pipeline visibility, time leakage, and compliance gaps.
AIAI-assisted analysis on the last 90 days of email and calendar activity.
- 02
MVP in 4–6 weeks
We ship the workflow that recovers the most billable hours first — usually time-capture + matter dashboards, or a contract review copilot for one practice area. Live with real fee-earners.
AILLM-bootstrapped data model, seed matters, and house-style playbook ingestion.
- 03
Rollout across practice areas
Practice-area-by-practice-area onboarding with partner enablement, paralegal training, and parallel-run for a billing cycle. We're on calls with partners during cutover.
AIAuto-classification of legacy matter files into the new matter schema.
- 04
Run, measure & improve
Monthly review of realisation rate, write-offs, matter cycle time, and compliance calendar health. Quarterly model and playbook refresh.
AIAnomaly alerts on stalled matters, billing variances, and missed deadlines.
Built for the regulations you actually answer to.
Every system we ship comes with the controls and audit surface your inspectors will ask for — designed in from day one, not bolted on later.
Bar Council & advocate norms
Built within the Bar Council of India and state advocate-conduct rules — including restrictions on advertising, advocate-client privilege, and partnership structures.
DPDP Act & client privilege
Indian personal-data handling with explicit consent capture, plus matter-level access controls that respect advocate-client privilege and Chinese-wall conventions.
Audit-grade evidence trail
Every action on a matter — view, edit, share, send — is timestamped, attributable, and immutable. Suitable for both internal audit and external disputes.
Trust accounting & client money
Segregated client-money ledgers, reconciliations against bank statements, and audit-grade reporting — designed for CA / state bar audit and Bar Council inspection.
