Private, Internal AI for Law Firms

Private Firm Knowledge
Connected Legal Research

Keep your firm’s knowledge under your control. Extend your legal research beyond it. CounselCore connects private prior work with relevant research from approved external sources in one traceable workflow.

Public legal sources provide a foundation for research. Separately licensed services offer a path to deeper court records, legal content, and litigation analytics—giving lawyers more context for the work in front of them.

Put your firm’s experience to work

CounselCore’s private, internal AI helps your team build on internal work across your firm’s case history, briefs, memos, and transcripts—alongside research from approved external sources.

Examine supporting authorities, trace answers to their sources, and develop a better-informed case strategy.

Firm Control. Connected Research.

Our approach brings three capabilities together:

  • Firm knowledge:Source-backed answers drawn from the firm’s documents and prior matters, so lawyers can build on work already done.
  • External research:Research from approved sources through a separate discovery workflow, with firm-approved controls over outbound queries.
  • Firm control:Designed to keep private documents and core AI processing within firm-controlled infrastructure, with matter permissions governing access.

Private AI. Built Around Your Firm’s Experience.

Your firm’s past work holds reasoning, research, and experience your team can build on. CounselCore’s private, internal AI helps bring that knowledge into the work ahead.
