Review an 80-page contract in 4 minutes
instead of 4 hours.

Contract analysis, automated drafting of standard documents, and source-grounded case-law search — for partners who want to give billable time back to high-value work. EU hosting, attorney-client privilege preserved, RIN and CNB compliant.

The hidden cost of non-billable hours

Five frictions that erode firm profitability, matter after matter.

60%

Non-billable hours spent drafting standard documents

NDAs, T&Cs, employment contracts, commercial leases: hours absorbed by manual templating that can no longer be billed at the hourly rate.

4h

Reviewing a complex contract before a client meeting

Reading, highlighting, cross-checking clauses, ad-hoc case-law lookups — a cycle that repeats with every matter.

300+ pages

Due diligence: manual synthesis of large data rooms

M&A, litigation, audits: an associate is locked up for days with no clear visibility on the actual risk hotspots.

Privilege

Legitimate reluctance to use ChatGPT or US-based tools

Article 66-5 of the French Act of 31 December 1971 and CNB rules: client data cannot be sent to non-EU servers without a strict technical and contractual framework.

Risk

Hallucinations: case law fabricated by general-purpose LLMs

Multiple foreign bars have already sanctioned lawyers for citing fabricated decisions (Mata v. Avianca, USA, 2023). Without citation grounding, generic AI is unusable inside a firm.

Primary use case

Contract review & automated drafting

An AI agent deployed inside your sovereign infrastructure, trained on your own clause library and internal doctrine. It reads a contract, flags sensitive clauses, suggests sourced rewordings, and produces a first draft of standard documents from a few lines of brief.

  • Clause-by-clause review (NDA, SaaS, leases, M&A, employment) with a risk heatmap.
  • Automatic version comparison (redline) between client draft and counterparty's mark-up.
  • Assisted generation of standard documents from your model library — you keep editorial control.
  • Every statement is citation-grounded: source in the contract, in your doctrine, or in a verified legal database. No fabricated case law.

−60 to −75% on first drafts · typical payback 6 to 9 months (to validate in pilot)

And also
  • RAG agent on case law and internal knowledge base

    Ask a natural-language question against your archive of notes, briefs, closed matters and consulted case law — get an answer with exact citation, pagination, and link to the source document.

    −60 to −80% preparatory research time (to validate in pilot)

  • Automated recurring documents

    NDAs, T&Cs, employment contracts, by-laws, leases: a smart form that drafts a first version from your validated clauses based on client context; the partner remains sole author and signatory after review.

    −50 to −65% time on standard documents (to validate in pilot)

  • Due diligence summarisation

    Data-room ingestion (hundreds of PDFs), structured synthesis by topic (corporate, employment, tax, IP, litigation) with red flags and exact page references.

    Files processed 2 to 3× faster (to validate in pilot)

NPSClient satisfaction — responsiveness perception
Anti-hallucination

An answer without a verifiable citation is a refused answer.

General-purpose LLMs make things up. It is documented, it has been sanctioned, and it is unacceptable in legal practice. Our deployments enforce an architectural rule: every factual statement from the agent is tied to a source passage — a clause in a supplied contract, a paragraph from a real decision, a page of internal doctrine. When the source is missing, the agent explicitly answers "I cannot assert this".

Strict RAG

The agent reasons only over documents you provide or validated legal databases (Légifrance, Dalloz, Lexbase if subscribed).

Mandatory citation

Every answer cites the article, decision or exact page. No statement is returned without a verifiable pointer.

Explicit refusal

If the corpus does not cover the question, the agent says so. No plausible-sounding completion: silent error is forbidden.

How we work

From ethics audit to deployment, in six weeks.

01

Firm audit & ethics mapping

Review of your current stack (Kleos, Jarvis, Diapaz, Lefebvre Sarrut), confidentiality practices and the RIN/CNB rules applicable to your bar.

Week 1
02

Pilot on a priority use case

Joint selection of a use case (e.g. SaaS contract review or NDA drafting) with baseline measurement of current time and error rates.

Weeks 2–3
03

Industrialisation & DMS integration

Connection to your DMS, import of your clause models, sign-off by a referent partner, training of associates.

Weeks 4–5
04

Measurement, governance & rollout

Usage dashboard, monthly quality review, progressive extension to other practice areas (corporate, employment, litigation).

Week 6+
Concrete next step

30 minutes to identify the use case that will give the most billable time back to your firm.

Discovery call, no commitment, NDA available. You leave with an indicative pricing range and three priority use cases. AI Acceleration package — 6 to 8 weeks, from €15,000; Industrialisation and Maintenance options on quote.

What you keep

Concrete deliverables — not another strategy slide deck.

  • Technical framing note: architecture, hosting, logging and ethics checkpoints to validate with your bar referent
  • AI agent deployed in your sovereign environment (Scaleway, OVHcloud, or firm-owned private cloud)
  • Library of prompts and templates calibrated against your validated clause models
  • Connectors to your DMS (Kleos, Jarvis Legal, Diapaz, or local storage)
  • Internal AI usage charter, ready to be adopted by partners and integrated into your internal rules
  • Hands-on 2h training for associates + 1-hour partner workshop on AI usage and operational watch-points
Firm integrations

We plug into your stack — not the other way around.

Practice management software, DMS, directories, e-signature: we design the agent as an additional layer that respects your existing validation workflows. We do not touch your bar-mandated channels (RPVA / e-Barreau); the agent does not replace them.

Ethics & regulatory framework

Attorney-client privilege, RIN, CNB, GDPR, EU AI Act: everything is framed before the first line of code.

Attorney-client privilege (Article 66-5 of the French Act of 31 December 1971) requires that all client data be processed in an environment you control. Our deployments rely exclusively on European hosts (Scaleway, OVHcloud, or firm-owned private cloud) — no data is sent to US-owned proprietary models without an explicit contractual and technical framework.

The RIN (French National Bar Regulation) and the CNB's ongoing work on AI (notably the CNB Digital Commission's reports) require transparency on tool usage, preservation of the lawyer's responsibility, and prevention of conflicts of interest. We deliver a usage charter ready to be adopted by your partnership.

On GDPR, we document the processing (records, DPIA where relevant) and configure the agent to minimise retention. Standard contract review qualifies as limited risk under the EU AI Act — we provide the required technical documentation.

Client proof

Already running in production for our clients.

Case files received by email, heterogeneous exhibits, handwritten deeds: the pipeline deployed at Guenifey reads, extracts and structures sensitive legal documents without human intervention. The same approach applies to your firm's files.
