The work AI handles at a law firm
Law firms use AI to draft agreements from precedent, review contracts against playbooks, run due diligence across data rooms, research case law and manage the practice itself. Each task depends on the firm's documents, so the best tool reads those documents with the firm's permissions.
A small firm needs legal AI and practice management in one place: matters, intake, time, billing, drafting and research. A large firm needs enterprise search across iManage and SharePoint, ethical walls on every answer and deployment under the firm's controls. AtlasAI covers both on one platform.
Built for the security review of a law firm
AtlasAI runs the security program on the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, and the AtlasAI security team shares the current audit status and the control documentation with your security reviewers. Under NDA, your security reviewers receive the AtlasAI Security and Compliance Posture Report and 12 corporate policies. Each deploying firm also receives the penetration test results.
Your deployment
Run AtlasAI in the AtlasAI cloud or in your firm’s Azure subscription, with the same controls in both.
Your permissions
AtlasAI agents read only the documents each user may open, with your iManage permissions and ethical walls applied to every step.
Your data
AtlasAI trains no model on your data, and every approved model provider works under zero data retention terms.
Your audit log
AtlasAI logs every question, answer and agent step. The managed service keeps the log for 365 days, with export, and a self-hosted deployment streams the log into your SIEM.
