Legal Research

Legal intelligence platform for law firms, built originally to generate evidence backed research memos and now covering litigation, transactional, operational and administrative workflows. Architecture is retrieval first, with a proprietary model layer the vendor calls Alex, aimed at grounding output in primary law rather than generating from model memory. Each firm receives its own private single tenant AI environment, with private cloud deployment offered, and the vendor states the firm's accuracy signals and accumulated institutional knowledge belong exclusively to that firm. Ships a library of prebuilt customisable workflows covering case file summarisation, chronology building and memo drafting, and integrates with iManage. Participated in the 2025 Vals Legal AI Report, an independent third party benchmark, and publishes its scores. Founded in Toronto, serving Canada and the United States.

Deep legal research platform for United States law firms, built around what the vendor describes as a fleet of specialised research language models assembled for particular practices and jurisdictions, with an emphasis on structured citation verification. Synthesises federal, state and local doctrine, and positions itself against generic models on highly technical, boutique, cross jurisdictional and multi doctrinal questions. Automatically tracks and saves research, conversations, sources, proof of citation verification and timekeeping entries. Access is restricted to United States licensed attorneys, verified at signup, with no credit card required and API access on request. Founded 2023. Placed first among all participants in the 2025 Vals Legal AI Report legal research study. Note that the company also operates separate legal marketing, lead generation and web design lines; only the research product is graded here.

Legal research platform built for litigators and law students doing in depth research, covering case law from United States federal and state courts plus tribal and military courts, statutes and regulations, and selected administrative decisions.

Participated in the 2025 Vals Legal AI Report legal research study, an independent third party benchmark, where it was evaluated on its standalone research product and scored 78 percent accuracy, 74 percent authoritativeness and 70 percent appropriateness for a 76 percent weighted aggregate, against a lawyer baseline the study measured at 69 percent aggregate and 71 percent accuracy.
