How we engage.
Five phases. Documented deliverables at each step. Defined timelines you can plan around. We do not run open-ended retainers. Engagements complete and we step out — clients call us back when there's a new question, not because we never left.
[ YOUR ROLE ]
You are the attorney. Judgment, ethics, client relationships, the practice of law — yours.
[ OUR ROLE ]
We are the technologists. Tools, governance, workflow, vendor terms, data classification — ours.
Assess.
One week. We talk to you and to anyone on staff who would actually use the tools — not just the partner who buys them. We review your existing workflow, your software stack, your practice areas, and your engagement letters. We do not look at client files. The output is a one-page memo on what AI use cases are worth pursuing in your practice and which are not.

Design.
Two to three weeks. We propose a specific scope: which capabilities to engage, what tools to evaluate, what governance to put in place, what budget. You approve, modify, or decline before any implementation begins. The engagement plan you sign is the contract.
Fixed-fee quote
Integrate.
Three to eight weeks, depending on scope. We do the work — tool evaluation, policy drafting, workflow mapping, vendor negotiation. We meet weekly. We share drafts as we go. Nothing is delivered as a surprise at the end.
(policy, prompts, redlines)
Govern.
One to two weeks. We document the framework so you and your staff can run it without us. Training session in your office or on video — your preference. Quarterly check-in offered for the first year, with a written summary at each.
(first year)
Measure.
Three months after handoff, we send a one-page review: what's working, what isn't, what to adjust. No retainer. No upsell. If something needs more work, we scope it as a new engagement — at the same fixed-fee terms, without renegotiating the relationship.
