The situation
Where they started.
The firm benchmarks every AI tool on the market and has the productivity numbers to prove the category works. What it cannot do is send client documents to a vendor's model, or let a lawyer on one matter retrieve documents from another. The frontier agents are built on both.
What FlatClaw does
What was built.
- FlatClaw deployed inside the firm's tenancy with role-based access mapped to matter teams.
- Retrieval scoped before the model sees a document: a lawyer's agent can only search the matters that lawyer is on.
- Every answer cited to its source document, so a draft can be checked rather than trusted.
- The same governed agent for research, drafting and summarization, with the firm's own style and precedents in its knowledge base.
Results
What changed.
- The productivity of a frontier agent with the data posture the firm's clients require.
- Matter isolation enforced by the system, not by policy reminders.
- Answers that carry their citations into the work product.
- A platform the firm owns and can extend for practice groups.
