I help UK law firms and solicitors put AI to work on privileged case files, precedent and correspondence, without that data ever leaving the UK, touching ChatGPT, or breaching your SRA confidentiality duties. It is the ChatGPT experience over your own matters, on single-tenant infrastructure we run and manage in the United Kingdom, never sent to OpenAI and never used to train a model.
I help UK law firms and solicitors put AI to work on privileged case files, precedent and correspondence, without that data ever leaving the UK, touching ChatGPT, or breaching your SRA confidentiality duties.
A private assistant that reads your own privileged matter files, inside an environment only your firm can see.
The matters where AI saves the most time sit on top of exactly the data you cannot paste into a public chatbot.
Every firm I speak to has the same bind. The matters where AI saves the most time, reviewing a disclosure bundle, drafting from precedent, finding the one clause across ten years of files, sit on top of privileged, confidential client data. You cannot paste that into a public chatbot. So either the firm misses out, or fee-earners quietly paste client material into ChatGPT on personal logins and hope it never surfaces. One leaves billable time on the table. The other is a confidentiality breach waiting to happen.
The ChatGPT experience over your own matters, inside a box only your firm can see.
This is Sovereign AI applied to legal work: a private AI assistant that runs on nothing but your own files, hosted on single-tenant infrastructure we run and manage in the United Kingdom. Your data never leaves the UK, is never sent to OpenAI, Anthropic or Google, and is never used to train anyone's model. It is the ChatGPT experience over your own matters, inside a box only your firm can see.
A public AI tool is a transfer of your clients' data to a third party. Private AI is built the other way round.
A transfer of privileged client data to a third party, usually in the United States. For legal work that is the line you cannot cross: matter files, privileged material and confidential client information leaving your control the moment a fee-earner hits send.
Your files and every prompt stay on UK infrastructure we run and manage. A single-tenant environment that is yours alone, so legal professional privilege and your duty of confidence stay intact, with the security measures written down and an audit trail the firm and COLP can show.
The data never leaves your control, so legal professional privilege and your duty of confidence stay intact.
The SRA has not banned AI, it has made clear the firm and the COLP remain responsible. Private AI lets you adopt it on your terms, with an audit trail.
Single-tenant, UK-hosted, encrypted, with a data processor agreement under UK GDPR Article 28 and the Article 32 security measures written down.
A certified, documented process. If your policy needs the environment inside your own walls, we can deploy on your premises.
Not a gimmick chatbot. It reads your own matter files and works across them.
Review and summarise disclosure bundles and long documents in minutes.
Draft from your own precedent, templates and house style.
Search and answer questions across every matter in your archive, with the source.
Give each fee-earner a private assistant that already knows the firm's files.
Right-sized models matched to the work, for accuracy on your data, not a headline spec.
Here is the part the AI vendors skip. Point a private model at matter data scattered across a case management system, three spreadsheets and an inbox, and it just surfaces the mess faster. Before the AI is worth anything, that data has to be brought together and cleaned. That is the work I have done for years: data migration and data quality. We get your client and matter data clean and in one place, then put the private AI on top. In that order it is trustworthy. The other way round it is confidently wrong. (If you run an accountancy firm rather than a law firm, see AI for accountants.)
A low-risk first step, then a managed subscription with no surprise bills.
A fixed-fee assessment of what data you hold, where the shadow-AI risk sits, a light DPIA, and the two or three use cases worth starting with.
We stand up your single-tenant environment in the UK, ingest your matters, write the security and data processing pack, and train your fee-earners.
We host, monitor, update and support it, with a quarterly compliance review. A fixed monthly fee, no surprise compute bills.
Pricing is a fixed-fee readiness review to start, then a monthly managed subscription. Book a call and I will size it to your firm.
The things firms ask before they put AI anywhere near privileged files.
No. Documents, prompts and answers all stay on UK infrastructure.
No. There are no calls to third-party AI APIs. The model runs inside your environment.
No. The data stays in your control, which is the whole point. The firm and COLP keep oversight, with an audit trail.
No. It answers your questions and nothing else.
We run ISO 9001-certified delivery and align our hosting to UK GDPR Article 32. If your policy requires a specific certified environment, we can deploy on your own premises.
Yes. We connect it to your document store as part of the data work, which is where the migration and quality piece comes in.
Private AI is the last step. Getting your client and matter data clean and in one place is what makes it trustworthy.
