Legal AI that stays
in your office.
Contract review, legal research, and document drafting - all running locally. Client-privileged information never touches an external server.
The reality
The legal profession has strict confidentiality obligations. Bar associations and law societies in most jurisdictions have issued guidance cautioning lawyers about using cloud AI tools with client-privileged information. The risk is real: when you paste a contract or case strategy into a cloud AI, that data leaves your control.
At the same time, the economic pressure on lawyers to do more in less time is relentless. Document review, research memos, and drafting are all time-intensive tasks that benefit enormously from AI assistance - if that assistance can be trusted.
How Skales helps lawyers
AI assistance that respects the confidentiality obligations of legal practice.
Contract review and redlining
Paste a contract and ask Skales to identify unusual clauses, missing standard provisions, or terms that deviate from your preferred positions. Faster first-pass review before your detailed analysis.
Legal research assistance
Summarise case law documents, statutes, or regulatory guidance you provide. Ask Skales to extract key holdings, flag relevant principles, and structure the analysis for your memo.
Attorney-client privilege preserved
Client communications, privileged documents, and case strategy notes are processed entirely on your machine. No external server receives the data, protecting privilege and confidentiality obligations.
Document drafting under time pressure
Draft NDAs, engagement letters, demand letters, and standard clauses from a description. Use Skales to get a working first draft on screen in minutes, then apply your judgement.
Deposition and hearing prep
Feed in the key documents for a matter and ask Skales to surface the ten most important facts, identify likely opposing arguments, or draft a chronology. Structured prep, faster.
No vendor data processing agreement needed
Because processing is local, there is no data controller-processor relationship with a cloud vendor. Simplified compliance for firms with strict information security policies.
Example: Contract first-pass review
You ask: "Review this SaaS agreement. Flag any IP assignment clauses that are broader than the service scope, any one-sided termination rights, and missing limitation of liability caps."
Skales: A structured list of flagged clauses with page references, plain-English explanations, and suggested standard alternatives.
You ask: "Summarise the key commercial terms of this acquisition term sheet in plain English. Bullet points. Include valuation, conditions, and exclusivity."
Skales: A clean executive summary your client can read in two minutes.
You ask: "Draft a cease and desist letter for trademark infringement. Formal tone. Include a 14-day deadline for response."
Skales: A complete first draft. Review, adjust the specific facts, and print on firm letterhead.
