FAQ
Common questions from Melbourne law firm partners
Is AI-generated legal work covered by privilege?+
AI agents handle administrative tasks (intake, scheduling, status updates), not legal advice. Privilege applies to lawyer-client communications. AI-processed documents remain within your firm's systems and privilege framework.
Does it integrate with LEAP, Actionstep, or FilePro?+
We integrate with LEAP, Actionstep, FilePro, Clio, and most practice management systems used in Australian law firms. Matter data, contacts, and time entries sync securely.
What about data security and confidentiality?+
All data is stored in Australia on SOC 2 compliant infrastructure. No client data is used to train AI models. We sign NDAs and can provide security documentation for your professional indemnity insurer.
Can the AI draft legal documents?+
AI can generate first drafts from templates and precedents for routine documents (NDAs, standard agreements, letters). All drafts require lawyer review before sending. It's a starting point, not a replacement.
How does pricing work for a law firm?+
Plans start from $1,200/month per lawyer for intake, client updates, and time entry assistance. Full-service plans including document review and research are $2,500/month. Most firms recover the cost within the first week from captured billable time.
