AI Development for Legal

Custom software with Claude / GPT inside, shipped in 2-8 weeks. NDA-first.

TL;DR

Wolrix has shipped an IP management platform for a working legal firm — trademark workflow, multi-attorney collaboration, document audit — replacing spreadsheet ops as the system of record. Top Rated Plus on Upwork, 100% Job Success Score, 42 projects, $200K+ earned, 5 production platforms shipped, 4 industries with shipped proofs. We work in legal on the same model: one technical lead, fixed price, 2-8 weeks, NDA before any details. Our posture on AI in legal is conservative on purpose — Claude / GPT for triage, classification, drafting first-pass content with attorney approval before anything leaves the firm. Never AI as the final layer to a court. The application substrate is privilege-aware (encryption-at-rest, audit log, role-based access). The firm sets retention and privilege scope; we ship the platform that respects it.

Patterns we'll build for you

What we'd build in legal

Concrete patterns named with stack. Human-in-loop on anything that leaves the firm.

Intake automation

Claude reads inbound case form / email, classifies practice area, drafts a conflict-check checklist, paralegal approves before the matter opens.

Matter / IP workflow platform

Trademark, patent, or general-matter workflow with deadlines, filings, multi-attorney access, and document audit. The reference build, productized.

Document review triage

Claude tags and summarizes inbound discovery / contract documents, flags clauses that match a firm-defined rubric. Attorney decides; AI never signs.

Billable-hours assistant

Claude drafts time-entry narratives from calendar + docket events, attorney approves and posts to QuickBooks / Clio. Saves the hour-at-end-of-day catchup.

How we handle legal-specific concerns

NDA before any case-shaped detail leaves a call. Encrypted-at-rest schemas. Audit log on every document and matter read/write. Role-based access at the row level so privilege boundaries hold inside the platform.

We don't host or process actual case content on our infrastructure. The firm owns the production database. Privilege scope, retention policy, and ethics-rule interpretation belong to the firm; we ship the substrate that respects whatever rules they set.

FAQ

Legal buyer questions

Asked on every intro call. Answered up front so you can decide before booking.

Do you understand attorney-client privilege?

Application-layer protections: encrypted-at-rest, audit logs, role-based access, NDA before any details shared. We don't host or process actual case content. Privilege scope and retention are the firm's call; we ship the substrate.

What legal-tech have you shipped?

An IP management platform for a legal firm — trademark workflow, multi-attorney collaboration, replaces spreadsheet ops. Anonymized, references on call.

Can AI draft legal documents?

We don't recommend it as the final layer. AI for triage, summarization, intake classification — yes. AI as the deliverable to a court — no. Human-in-loop on every output that leaves the firm.

What does a legal-tech build cost?

Build tier $10K-$25K for a single workflow tool (intake, document review automation). Scale tier $25K-$50K for full platforms with multi-role access and audit. Hourly advisory at $100-$200/hr.
