Built for legal teams the enterprise platforms won't serve

Legal AI that verifies its own citations.

LawDep is the one workspace for a growth company’s legal function: entities, contracts, IP, litigation, holds, filings and matters in a single system. Every AI citation is checked against live law (US Code, CourtListener, eCFR) before you rely on it, so it can’t cite a fake case. Built for the legal teams the Fortune 500 platforms won’t serve.

The status quo

Legal departments are the last team still working in file folders.

Sales has a CRM. Engineering has GitHub. Finance has an ERP. Legal has a shared drive and institutional memory.

One drive per team, one truth per person

Contracts live in three SharePoint folders, one Notion, and someone's laptop. Nobody agrees on the current version.

The inbox is the case file

The status of a matter is threaded across 40 emails and a Slack DM. Onboarding a new lawyer means forwarding history.

Copy-paste from last year's contract

The MSA is a 47-page Word doc last touched during that acquisition. Every edit risks reopening a settled clause.

Nobody notices the renewal until it auto-renews

A contract auto-renewed at unfavorable rates, a filing deadline slipped, a trademark lapsed. The calendar was a spreadsheet.

The real tools won't take your money

Ironclad starts around $50k and wants a procurement cycle. Harvey targets AmLaw 100 firms. Your 2-person legal team gets a shared drive and a prayer.

Who it’s for

One system, any legal team that can’t buy enterprise.

If your legal function fits in a conference room, the Fortune-500 platforms won’t sell to you: and you shouldn’t pay their price anyway.

Fintech & NBFC

Multiple legal entities, RBI filings, compliance deadlines, vendor agreements. One register instead of a folder per entity.

RBI complianceEntity registerFilings calendar

Startup & scale-up

Founder-as-GC. NDAs and MSAs in-bound daily, cap table and IP you can't afford to let lapse. The one system that keeps it from becoming a fire.

NDA/MSA draftingCap tableIP renewals

B2B SaaS

A sales motion that runs on contracts. Playbook-enforced review, renewal tracking, vendor paper that stops getting renegotiated from scratch.

Contract playbookRenewal alertsVendor MSA hub

Series-B deep tech

IP is the balance sheet. Patents, trademarks, litigation exposure, and legal holds that actually survive an opposing counsel's motion.

IP portfolioLitigation mattersLegal holds

The workspace

Everything in one workspace. One copilot.

Every corporate legal object is a first-class citizen: not a row in someone’s spreadsheet. And every module is queryable by the AI copilot without you writing a single tool integration.

Entities & cap table

Registered offices, directors, KYC, shareholders. The corporate spine every other module hangs off.

24 fields per entity

Contracts

MSAs, SOWs, subscription agreements. Draft from templates, redline against your playbook, track renewals and terminations.

Playbook-aware review

Vendors & procurement

MSA hub for third-party spend. Standardises paper across the vendor stack so procurement stops re-negotiating from scratch.

MSA hub

Employment

Offer letters, contractor agreements and compliance checks: with jurisdiction-aware clauses for US, EU and India.

3 jurisdictions live

IP portfolio

Trademarks, patents, copyrights and their renewal calendars. Never let a mark lapse because a paralegal left.

Renewal automation

Litigation

Case files, filings, discovery documents, deadlines. Every matter as a first-class object, not a Google Doc.

First-class matters

Matters

The 17-stage matter lifecycle: intake, conflict check, negotiation, execution, closeout. Every stage logged, nothing jumps the queue.

17-stage lifecycle

Regulatory filings

GST, ROC, ESI, PF and any recurring filing. Cadence + custodian + last-filed status, tied to the calendar.

Recurring cadence

Legal holds

Issue, track and release preservation obligations. Custodians, scope, acknowledgement: the audit trail is built-in.

Full audit trail

PII redactionAI

Mask emails, phones, PAN, Aadhaar, GSTIN and bank details in any document before you share or file it. Deterministic patterns plus an LLM pass for names and addresses - with a full report of what was hidden.

Share without leaks

Negotiation agentAI

An agent that drafts your counter-positions from the playbook - but you approve every response before anything is marked as sent. Human in the loop, always.

Human-approve every move

Document intelligence

Upload any PDF or DOCX. It's parsed, chunked, embedded into pgvector, and instantly searchable by the copilot.

pgvector RAG

Template library

Your master paper, versioned in one place. Rendered with Jinja from Pydantic-validated inputs: no more copy-paste drift.

Jinja + Pydantic

AI chat copilotAI

One chat over everything. Draft an NDA, review a contract, research a trademark: and every legal citation it produces is verified against US Code, CourtListener and eCFR before it reaches you.

Citation-verified

Citation verification

No invented precedents. The copilot's case, statute and regulation citations are checked against real public legal databases, with a pass/review/fail verdict you can see.

Anti-hallucination

The copilot loop

An AI that uses your system, not a chatbot that pretends to.

The copilot has access to 106 tools bound directly to your database. When it drafts a contract, it's the same code path as the REST endpoint your app uses. No parallel universes.

  1. 01

    You ask, in plain English

    "Draft an NDA between Acme and Rivet Labs, 2-year term, non-compete carveout for research staff."

  2. 02

    The agent picks the right tool

    It reads the NDA template, pulls the party details from the entity table, and validates inputs with your playbook's Pydantic schema.

  3. 03

    The model you configure drafts the document

    You choose the model at deploy time. Every clause is checked against your playbook; risky ones are flagged before you see the draft.

  4. 04

    Citations are verified, not assumed

    Every case, statute and regulation the copilot cites is checked against real legal databases: US Code, CourtListener, eCFR. A "fail" verdict means the cite couldn't be found; you see it before relying on it.

  5. 05

    One click to persist

    The contract is stored in the same database as everything else: searchable, renewable, and picked up by the compliance calendar automatically.

The engine room

Boring stack.
Interesting outputs.

A single Postgres with pgvector. A FastAPI service and an Arq worker sharing one codebase. LLMs routed through a wrapper so you can swap providers with an env var. All deployable on Railway in a single project.

Nothing exotic. Nothing that needs a platform team to keep alive.
