Contract automation
Drafting from your clause library, playbook-driven redlining in Word, approval routing and e-signature handoff. Legal sees the exceptions; the business gets its documents back the same day.
Contract automationCustom legal software
Legal tools built around how your team actually works.
We design, build and run bespoke software for law firms and in-house legal teams, inside the iManage, Outlook and matter systems you already use. No platform to migrate to, no process to work around.

Why custom
Off-the-shelf legal software asks your team to change how it works. We think that is the wrong way round.
Most legal tools are built for an imagined average team. Then a real team, with its own precedent bank, its own iManage folder structure and its own view of what counts as a red flag, has to bend to fit. Adoption stalls. The spreadsheets come back.
We start from the workflow you already have. Our engineers and former practising lawyers sit with your team, map how work actually moves, and build the tool that fits that shape. Then we run it, so it keeps fitting as the practice changes.
What we build
Five things we build. One way of building them.
Every engagement starts with the workflow, not the feature list. These are the areas where we have done it often enough to know where the problems hide.
Matter intake & triage
Structured intake forms, conflict-check pre-screening and automatic routing to the right team, with SLA tracking from the first minute. It replaces the inbox as the front door to legal.
Matter intakeAI document review
LLM-assisted first-pass review for due diligence, discovery and regulatory responses. Every finding cites its source page, and a person makes every decision that matters.
AI document reviewCompliance workflows
Obligation tracking, regulatory change monitoring, attestations and audit trails. The system knows what is due, who owns it, and what the regulator will ask to see.
Compliance workflowsSystems integration
iManage, NetDocuments, Clio, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, DocuSign, Elite 3E and Aderant. Data migration and single sign-on, done so the tool feels like it was always there.
Systems integrationSomething else?
If the workflow is legal and the software does not exist yet, it is probably ours to build. Tell us what is slowing the team down and we will say honestly whether it is worth doing.
Start a conversationHow we work
Four phases. The team is using it by week four.
We do not disappear for six months and return with a demo. You see working software early and use it for real work sooner than you would expect.
-
01
Discovery
2–3 weeksWe shadow the team and map the workflow as it actually runs, not as the process document says it does.
-
02
Design
1–2 weeksWe prototype in the team's real documents and real matters. Nothing is built until the people who will use it have tried it.
-
03
Build
Weekly releasesWorking software every week. The team is using it for live matters from week four, and every week after that.
-
04
Run
Ongoing · 3+ yrs typicalWe host it, monitor it and keep improving it as the practice changes. The tool is never finished, and that is the point.

What it is like to work with us, from people who have.
They shadowed our associates for three weeks before writing a line of code. That's why it worked.
Rachel OseiDirector of Knowledge, Hollis & Marr LLP
Our NDAs used to take six days. Now the business gets them back the same afternoon, and legal only sees the exceptions.
