The problem: time pressure collides with confidentiality
Solicitors, barristers, notaries and in-house counsel process thousands of pages of matter files, contracts and case law every week. Time pressure is intense and regulatory expectations keep rising — yet every page in those files is privileged or commercially sensitive.
The duty of confidentiality is non-negotiable. Matter information cannot, under any circumstance, end up on third-party servers or in someone else's training set.
That is exactly why public AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini are not an option for legal work — they send prompts to servers outside the EU, may retain content, and offer no enforceable contractual route to legal professional privilege. The result: lawyers keep searching manually, while AI could already save hours per week elsewhere.
The frustration is understandable: you read law, not document management.
The solution: a legal AI that does work safely with matter data
Amaii is a private legal AI that runs entirely within your firm's own infrastructure. No data leaves your environment, no training on matter information. The language model searches your internal files, contracts and case law and returns answers with direct citations — so every output is auditable against the source document.
The lawyer always stays in the lead. Amaii supports, but never advises. That is our core principle: AI as co-pilot, not as pilot — essential in a profession where every word in advice carries weight.
- 100% private: data never leaves your environment
No public cloud, no third-party APIs. Everything runs inside your firm's own infrastructure or a dedicated EU tenant.
- Source citations with every answer
The AI shows which matter file, contract or judgment underpins each answer — essential for accountability and supervision.
- Built for SRA confidentiality and the EU AI Act
Transparent, explainable and designed with privacy-by-design from the ground up.
- No training on your data
The model is never trained on client data. Your matter files remain exclusively yours.
How law firms use Amaii
From boutique firms to magic-circle practices, in-house legal teams and notarial offices: AI can add real value across the legal workflow — provided it happens safely. A selection of the proven use cases:
- Rapid case-law and contract analysis
Search thousands of pages of judgments and contracts in seconds, with the relevant clause or paragraph cited directly.
- Summarising voluminous matter files
On handover, hearing preparation or counsel briefing: an immediate concise overview of the relevant facts and procedural history.
- Support for drafting memos and pleadings
The model assists with first-draft memos, advice notes or pleadings, grounded in your firm's internal materials.
- Knowledge sharing across the firm
Make precedents, templates and internal guidance searchable for every fee-earner and trainee.
- Faster onboarding of trainees and lateral hires
Trainees and new joiners can question the firm's collective knowledge directly, rather than chasing colleagues.
Why confidentiality in legal AI is non-negotiable
Matter files contain strictly privileged information: trade secrets, personal circumstances, litigation strategy. This is data that cannot leak, full stop. Yet many AI tools (including ChatGPT and comparable services) use customer input to improve models, or route requests through servers outside the EU.
With Amaii that is impossible by design. The language model runs entirely within your firm's own shielded environment. There is no connection to external servers, no data sharing with third parties, and no mechanism for the model to "learn" from your matter files.
Amaii is fully prepared for the EU AI Act (which mandates transparency and explainability of AI systems) and aligns with the SRA Code of Conduct and Law Society guidance on generative AI. For firms operating across the UK and EU, the same deployment satisfies both UK GDPR and EU GDPR.
Which legal organisations is Amaii built for?
Amaii is designed for legal professionals who work with privileged data and need a secure, auditable AI system. That includes:
- Law firms (boutique through full-service and magic-circle)
- Barristers' chambers
- Notaries and notarial offices
- In-house legal teams (general counsel and legal operations)
- Compliance, risk and DPO functions
- Legal advisory firms, mediators and arbitrators
Whether you have 5 or 500 fee-earners, Amaii scales with the size and complexity of your organisation.
The human stays in the lead
AI in legal practice rightly raises questions. Can a machine make a legal judgement? With Amaii the answer is clear: no, and it does not need to. The AI model is a tool that retrieves, summarises and presents information. The lawyer interprets, weighs the merits and advises.
Because source citations accompany every answer, you can always verify where the information came from. No "black box" — a transparent system that supports accountability and supervisory review, which is essential in a profession where every word in advice is on the record.
