Law×AIExpertise
Our Forward Deployed Lawyers and Engineers work alongside your teams to turn legal expertise, institutional knowledge and existing processes into production-ready applications, agents, workflows and integrations on Legal Cognition.
Deployment
Control where it matters.
Sensitive legal work comes with different requirements for data residency, model access, system integration and operational control. Legal Cognition is designed as a deployable software platform for professional legal work. The same applications, agentic runtime and legal knowledge infrastructure can operate across managed, dedicated, distributed and fully isolated environments.

Your infrastructure
Sovereign AI. On your terms.
Decide which knowledge sources and instructions your agents use and when your team makes the decisions. Depending on the deployment model, you can run Legal Cognition with local AI models on your own infrastructure – including without external connectivity in a fully isolated air-gapped environment.
Linux
For your Linux infrastructure: Together, we align deployment, model selection and hardware with your use case.
Windows
For Windows workstations: We assess how Legal Cognition fits into your existing systems and which deployment model suits your needs.
macOS
For Mac workstations: We tailor access to Legal Cognition and connectivity with your infrastructure to your requirements.
Sovereign AI
Who determines how your AI works – today and tomorrow?
Sovereign AI means using capable models while governing their use on your own terms. Maintaining that control is an ongoing responsibility: selecting models, reviewing results and adapting operations to new requirements. If a provider changes access terms, pricing or data retention rules, the impact goes beyond data location – it affects your ability to work. In Legal Cognition, you define the knowledge sources and instructions your agents use and which steps require human approval. The extent of control over models and operations depends on the deployment model: Distributed and Air-Gapped support local models and customer-controlled operations; a fully isolated environment does not require an external connection.
Your knowledge sets the context.
Matter files, legal sources and professional experience underpin your work. Define the knowledge your agents draw on for each task and the standards they must follow.
- Configure knowledge sources and instructions for the relevant practice area and task.
- Keep documents and results associated with the relevant matter or proceeding.
- Make professional standards reusable through templates and review frameworks.
The task determines the model.
Capable external and local models serve different requirements. Align model selection with the task, the sensitivity of your data and your deployment model.
- Assess quality and suitability against your own use cases.
- Use local models in Distributed and Air-Gapped environments.
- Reassess results, data flows and operational requirements before changing models.
You set the boundaries.
Define the instructions an agent follows, the tools it may use and when a human decision is required. Professional responsibility remains with your team.
- Set document access according to roles and responsibilities.
- Require approval at the critical points of a workflow.
- Verify results against sources and passages in the original documents.
The environment fits your requirements.
Choose an operating model that meets your requirements for data location, isolation and operational control. Available capabilities depend on the deployment.
- Compare Managed Cloud, Dedicated, Distributed and Air-Gapped against your requirements.
- Retain customer control of infrastructure and operations in Distributed and Air-Gapped environments.
- Work without an external connection in a fully isolated environment.
Experience improves your workflows.
Sovereignty is an ongoing responsibility. Review your agents' work against concrete cases and deliberately incorporate professional feedback into your standards and workflows.
- Compare results with your professional criteria and selected example cases.
- Refine instructions, knowledge sources and review frameworks based on feedback.
- Review changes and obtain approval from the responsible people before further use.
FROM OPERATING MODEL TO PRODUCTION
Your requirements.The right deployment.
We deploy Legal Cognition in the operating model that matches your requirements for data location, isolation, model access and system integration – from a managed environment to fully isolated operation.
