Your AI team caught a missed statute of limitations and $34K in unbilled time before the partners' meeting.

All matter data is strictly siloed within the system. No employee can access information across matters. Conflict-of-interest checks run automatically when new client data enters the system. Documents are analyzed in-place within iManage without creating copies outside your DMS. All processing uses de-identified prompts — no client names or privileged content reaches the cloud LLM.

Yes. All 6 employees integrate bidirectionally with Clio via its API. Marcus writes research memos directly into matter files. James reads deadline data and writes notifications. Elena creates new client records and runs conflict checks. Sophie reads time entries and matter budgets for reconciliation. All operations happen within your existing practice management workflow.

Marcus searches Westlaw and LexisNexis simultaneously, Shepardizes every cited case to confirm it is still good law, ranks results by authority weight and jurisdiction, cross-references your firm's prior work product in iManage, and delivers structured research memos in firm-standard format with confidence ratings. Research that took a junior associate 6 hours takes Marcus 30 minutes.

David uses multi-layered analysis to detect potentially privileged documents — examining sender/recipient patterns, content indicators, and document metadata. David flags documents as potentially privileged for human review rather than making final privilege determinations. No document is excluded from privilege review without a lawyer's sign-off. David processes 1,400+ pages per overnight cycle.

Yes. Elena handles new enquiries 24/7 — qualifying potential clients through structured intake questions, running automated conflict checks in Clio in 30 seconds, generating engagement letters, and scheduling consultations with the appropriate practice group. Prospective clients who enquire at 11 PM receive immediate engagement rather than waiting until the next business day.

Sophie analyzes email metadata, document-edit timestamps, and calendar events, cross-references them against recorded time entries in Clio, and generates draft entries for billable activities that were not recorded. She sends each attorney a daily time-capture summary with one-tap approval. Most firms see a 15-30% increase in captured billable hours within the first month.

James calculates all applicable deadlines from FRCP, state procedural rules, local rules, and judge-specific standing orders — including subsidiary deadlines triggered by each primary deadline. He cross-references against CM/ECF and state e-filing portals, sends escalating Slack reminders at 14, 7, 3, and 1 day before each deadline, and flags any matter showing no preparation activity.

Yes. Sophie reconciles all IOLTA and client trust accounts against bank feeds daily — verifying retainer deposits, payments against client ledgers, and checking for commingling. Discrepancies are flagged immediately rather than discovered during monthly reconciliation. Trust account compliance is the most common area of bar disciplinary action, and daily reconciliation eliminates that risk.

Yes. Bitontree employees scale to firm size. A small firm can deploy James (deadline tracking) and Elena (client intake) as a starting point, adding employees as the firm grows. Pricing is per-employee, not per-seat, so small firms pay only for the employees they deploy. The Workforce Discovery phase ensures employees are configured for your specific practice areas.

Every employee has defined escalation boundaries. Marcus flags conflicting case law and low-confidence research for senior review. David highlights clause deviations but does not approve contract language. Elena qualifies leads but does not provide legal advice. No employee makes legal judgments — every output is positioned as a draft for lawyer review and sign-off.

A typical 6-employee law firm deployment takes 8-12 weeks. Phase 1 (Workforce Discovery, 2-3 weeks) maps your practice management workflows, document handling processes, and deadline tracking systems. Phase 2 (Build & Deploy, 6-9 weeks) deploys employees incrementally, starting with James and Elena which deliver the fastest risk reduction. Phase 3 is ongoing management with monthly performance reviews.

Bitontree Workforce pricing is per-employee, not per-seat or per-matter. A typical 6-employee law firm deployment starts with a Workforce Discovery engagement, followed by incremental deployment. Most firms start with 2-3 employees (James and Elena) and add employees as ROI is validated. Pricing scales with firm size and integration complexity. Contact us for a custom quote.

No. Bitontree AI employees handle the time-consuming tasks that prevent lawyers from doing their highest-value work — research compilation, document review, deadline tracking, client intake, billing reconciliation, and client communication. Every employee output is a draft for lawyer review and sign-off. No employee makes legal judgments, provides legal advice, or approves filings. In practice, firms report that associates focus more on client relationships and courtroom preparation because AI handles the operational overhead.
