Capabilities
Legal AI, securityand product engineering
I design, build and security-test the systems behind legal work: firm knowledge, case workflows, the applications that run them and the integrations around them. Every capability below has been delivered in client work.
Delivered in client workDelivered with law firms, in-house legal tech teams and legal-tech founders over the past three years, mostly under NDA.

01 / Areas
Four areas, one engagement
Pick the area closest to your problem. Most projects draw on more than one.
- Area 01 · 4 capabilities
Organizational knowledge & legal intelligence
Structure firm guidance and reusable playbooks, assemble relevant case and client context, and use them in drafting and recommendations. Reviewers can see the information and rules relevant to a proposed next step.
Explore this area - Area 02 · 10 capabilities
Legal workflows & integrations
Connect intake, email, document work, priorities and handoffs into processes with clear ownership and review. Extend existing systems where their interfaces and permissions support the required workflow.
Explore this area - Area 03 · 8 capabilities
Cybersecurity & penetration testing
Assess web, API and AI applications for weaknesses in access controls, account flows, input handling and business logic. Validate findings and connect remediation advice to the implementation behind the issue.
