Legal knowledge base (RAG)

Ask a question across your contracts, policies and precedent, and get an answer with the clause it came from — instead of a lawyer spending an afternoon in a folder.

Who it is for

Heads of Legal and compliance teams whose contracts, policies and past advice are spread across drives, mailboxes and a DMS.

The problem

Your legal knowledge exists. Finding it is the bottleneck.

01

The same question, asked again

Business teams ask legal what a clause means, whether a term is standard, what was agreed with a supplier. Answering means opening documents someone already read last month.

02

Search finds files, not answers

Full-text search returns twenty documents when the answer is one paragraph in one of them. The lawyer still reads all twenty.

03

Precedent is invisible

The position taken on a similar case two years ago is in a mailbox. New advice gets written from scratch, sometimes inconsistently.

How it works

From trigger to result, step by step.

01

Index the corpus

Contracts, policies, templates, past advice and regulatory material are ingested from your DMS, drives and mailboxes, with permissions preserved.

02

Chunk with structure intact

Documents are split along their own structure — clause, section, schedule — so a retrieved passage is a meaningful unit rather than an arbitrary window of text.

03

Answer with citations

A question returns a direct answer plus the exact passages behind it, with document name, version and clause reference. No citation, no answer.

04

Respect who may see what

Retrieval runs inside your access model. A user only ever gets passages from documents they are already entitled to open.

05

Keep the index current

New and amended documents are picked up on a schedule, and superseded versions are marked so answers do not quote a clause that no longer applies.

When this is not the right solution.

·This answers questions about your documents. It does not give legal advice, and it should not be presented internally as if it did.
·If your document set is small enough that a person knows it well, the payback is thin — the value comes from volume and turnover.
·If access permissions are undefined or inconsistent today, indexing will expose that. It has to be resolved first, and it is a governance decision.

Questions we get about this one

It can retrieve the wrong passage, which is why every answer shows its sources and the clause reference. It is built so that checking is fast, not so that checking is unnecessary. For anything consequential a lawyer still reads the clause — the saving is in finding it.

Bring us the process that hurts.

The mini-audit is free: we take your version of this process apart and tell you plainly whether automating it pays. If it does, you get a scope and a fixed price.
