The problems
What slows Legal down today.
Contract review bottlenecks
Every NDA and vendor agreement waits in one queue, and the business routes around Legal to hit deadlines.
Unstructured intake
Requests arrive by email, chat and hallway conversation, often missing the documents and context attorneys need to start.
Knowledge locked in inboxes
Past positions, fallback clauses and precedent live in individual inboxes, so attorneys redo work that already exists.
Deadlines tracked by hand
Renewal dates, obligations and matter deadlines live in spreadsheets that someone has to remember to check.

FAQ
Legal: questions, answered.
Do Legal Clones give legal advice?
No. Legal Clones support your attorneys with intake, organization, first-pass review and summaries. They do not give legal advice to employees, customers or anyone else. Attorney review is mandatory for anything going out, including redlines, opinions and external correspondence. We write this into each Clone's Governance Charter as a firm rule.
How do you protect privileged and confidential material?
Each Clone gets least-privilege access, approved by your InfoSec team, to only the repositories and matters its role needs. Sensitive matters can be excluded entirely. Every action is recorded in the audit log. We work with your team to set handling rules for privilege, and those rules are reviewed before any new connection goes live.
How reliable is first-pass contract review?
We measure it against your playbook. During the pilot, attorneys check every flagged clause and every missed one, and we track accuracy and override rates by contract type. Clause flags are a starting point that speeds review, not a substitute for it. The attorney remains responsible for every decision and every redline.
Will this change the role of our attorneys?
It changes where their time goes. Clones add capacity by taking routine intake, tracking and first-pass work, so attorneys spend more time on judgment, negotiation and advising the business. Attorneys stay accountable for legal decisions. Any regulatory mapping we provide as part of the engagement is not legal advice.
