About Matters and Models

AI for lawyers and law firms—built for the record.

Key takeaways

• We are lawyers and engineers who are obsessed with making AI work for law firms and their clients while preserving confidentiality and complying with all ethical rules.
• We publish the most up-to-date, comprehensive, and digestible information about AI and the law.
• We design privacy‑first AI workflows for all aspects of your practice.
• We create AI products to reduce administrative tasks.
• We are vendor‑agnostic: commercial APIs, private instances, or open models—selected to fit your constraints.
• We measure success by quality, time saved, and risk reduced, not by model hype.

Why “Matters and Models”

Legal work starts with matters—specific clients, facts, and deadlines. AI starts with a model that can do maybe 80% of a specific job. But that 80% is practically useless in the legal profession. Our job is to capture that remaining 20% and unlock the power of your law practice.

What we do

We help firms and in‑house teams:

• Develop a comprehensive understanding of AI technology
• Assess readiness and risk (privilege, confidentiality, vendor controls)
• Design and implement workflows that cut review time yet raise quality
• Train attorneys and staff to use AI confidently and ethically
• Set governance so pilots become reliable practice, not “shadow tools”

Who we serve

• Litigators: brief drafting support, deposition prep, discovery triage
• Deal teams: diligence summaries, markup support, term‑sheet comparisons
• IP & R&D: disclosure drafting support, literature triage, competitive analysis
• Legal operations: knowledge bases, intake, and cross‑matter retrieval

Our principles

1. Client protection first — privilege, confidentiality, and regulatory fit.
2. Defensibility over novelty — we prefer auditable, boringly reliable wins.
3. Outcomes > models — we choose tooling to fit the use case and risk.
4. Humans in the loop — we unlock human capacity, we do not replace them
5. Measurable improvement — time saved, error rates reduced, quality upheld.

How we work

1. Discovery call (15 minutes) → objectives, constraints, stakeholders.
2. Readiness & Risk Assessment → current tools, data flows, vendor posture.
3. Pilot workflow → 1–2 concrete use cases with baselines and QA gates.
4. Review & expand → training, governance, and scale‑out to more teams.

Matters and Models is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We build systems that help lawyers deliver better legal work.
