USE CASE 01
Research and drafts
Associates run research and shape first drafts with AI while policy keeps matter files where they belong. Every prompt and answer lands in the sealed record.
Legal
AI on the matter. What was shared, provable.
Verillian decides what each AI tool may do on a matter, on firm hardware. The identifying values the firm flags are screened before a prompt leaves. The record seals under a key only the firm holds. Verillian never sees a word of it.
01
AI in the practice
Keep the speed, without spending the privilege.
AI research that turns four hours into forty minutes is already in your associates' browsers. Verillian lets the firm keep that speed inside the rules a matter carries: policy decides what a tool may read and do on the device, the identifying values your policy flags are screened before a prompt leaves, and every captured interaction seals into a record. When a client's outside counsel guidelines ask what AI was allowed to do on their matter, you answer in writing, with the record to match.
02
On the matter
Faster work, nothing unaccounted for.
The work your lawyers would want AI to take on, under rules the firm declared and a record the firm alone can open.
USE CASE 02
Discovery summaries
Thousands of pages become a chronology in an afternoon, with the values the firm flags screened before anything leaves the device and the whole run written down.
USE CASE 03
Contracts and in-house
In-house teams put AI on agreements and diligence, with different rules for the deal team and the litigation group, declared in the console rather than assumed.
03
The confidences
Model Rule 1.6, kept by design.
The duty of confidentiality doesn't bend for useful tools, so the architecture doesn't ask it to. Everything below keeps client confidences exactly where the rule says they live: with the firm.
The record seals under the firm's key alone
Every captured AI action locks into a record encrypted so that only the firm can open it. Not the model provider, not an outside vendor, and not us.
Client identities screened before a prompt leaves
The identifying values the firm flags are replaced on the device when they're caught, and the record shows the model worked from the stand-ins.
Verified without being read
When a client or an auditor wants assurance, the chain can be checked for breaks and tampering without exposing one privileged word. Proof without disclosure.
Matter files can't walk
Drafting and summarizing can be open while exporting a matter folder stays refused, per practice group, per tool, per action.
Ethical walls that hold at the machine
Partners, associates, and contract reviewers each carry their own declared policy, and a matter screened off on paper can be screened off here too, applied the moment you set it.
An answer for the OCG questionnaire
When outside counsel guidelines ask how AI is governed on their matters, the answer is specific: these rules, this sealed record, our hardware, and here's how to test it.
04
Aligned, not certified
Where the ethics rules meet the architecture.
Privilege, work product, and the duty of confidentiality under Model Rule 1.6 are yours to keep, and no software holds them for you. Verillian's part is structural: confidences stay on firm hardware, exposure is governed before it happens, and the sealed record shows both.
