[ AI IMPLEMENTATION · FOR THE PRACTICE OF LAW ]

AI for solo, small, and mid-sized firms.

Practical AI implementation, scoped to the size of your practice, priced for the size of your budget, delivered in weeks not quarters. Vendor-agnostic. Fixed-fee. Aligned to the ABA Model Rules and the December 2025 Task Force second report.

For the firms BigLaw consultants don't return calls from.

Most AI consultancies in legal services chase BigLaw and corporate in-house teams. The result: solo, small, and mid-sized firms — the practitioners who serve most Americans, who run most active matters in this country — get stuck choosing between a one-hour vendor demo and a six-figure consulting engagement that wasn't built for them. IXSOR is built for the gap.

[ ABSTRACT ]
///
01

AI products sold to law firms tripled in volume over the last eighteen months. Most solve problems you don't have, with frameworks borrowed from BigLaw and price tags that assume an in-house IT team. None tell you how to defend your work product when the opposing side moves to compel discovery of your AI tooling. ABA Formal Opinion 512 confirmed AI use is not prohibited, but requires the same competence, confidentiality, and supervision standards as any other tool. The ABA Task Force on Law and Artificial Intelligence put the next phase plainly in its December 2025 second report: AI adoption has surpassed understanding. The opinions and reports are short. Operationalizing them is the work.

[ YOUR ROLE ]

You are the attorney. Judgment, ethics, client relationships, the practice of law — yours.

[ OUR ROLE ]

We are the technologists. Tools, governance, workflow, vendor terms, data classification — ours.

Five capabilities. Combined as your scope requires.

01/05

Tool selection & evaluation.

The AI legal-tech market reorganizes every quarter. Most product comparisons online are vendor-funded or out of date. We build a comparison specific to your practice areas, your matter volume, your jurisdiction. You decide. We do not take vendor commissions, referral fees, or implementation kickbacks.

>>> 2 — 3 WK

02/05

Governance frameworks.

A written policy that holds up under malpractice review and bar-counsel scrutiny. Mapped to the ABA Model Rules and the version your state has adopted. Aligned to ABA Formal Op. 512 and the December 2025 Task Force second report. The framework is yours; we do not license it back to you.

>>> 3 — 4 WK

03/05

Workflow design.

Where AI fits in your practice's actual work — intake, conflicts, research, drafting, document review, client communication — and where it does not belong. Specific steps, written prompts, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. We work with the staff who will use the tools, not just the partner who buys them.

>>> 4 — 6 WK

04/05

Data-handling guidance & guardrails.

Procedures around client information — what goes into which tool, retention, deletion, breach response, audit. You determine what's confidential and which regulatory regimes apply. We provide the guidance and the guardrails that respect those determinations, and surface the vendors' compliance claims for your decision.

>>> 2 — 4 WK

05/05

Vendor diligence.

Most AI vendor agreements have terms that would not survive a partner review at any small firm. Training-data clauses that grant the vendor rights to your inputs. Indemnification holes. Retention defaults set against you. We redline, rewrite, and benchmark against peer-firm agreements.

>>> 1 — 2 WK

Three engagement formats ///

ILLUSTRATIVE SCOPES · NOT CASE STUDIES

Tools & Governance

01 + 02

Firms taking on a high-volume document production for the first time

4 — 6 WK

In this format we evaluate the document-review platforms most relevant to your practice, configure the chosen tool against your matter, and establish a governance framework aligned to your jurisdiction's adoption of Model Rule 1.1 (Competence) and 5.3 (Supervision of Non-Lawyer Assistants). Includes vendor-term redline before sign-off and a documented audit trail you can hand to bar counsel. Most appropriate where the firm has a single large matter driving the AI need.

Workflow & Data

03 + 04

Practices using AI for first-pass drafting or intake synthesis

4 — 6 WK

We map your existing intake-to-drafting workflow, identify where AI is appropriate as a first-pass synthesis tool (and where it is not), and produce a written client-disclosure policy that can be referenced in engagement letters. Includes a tool-by-tool data permissibility chart aligned to Model Rule 1.6 (Confidentiality). Suited to firms whose AI use is steady-state across many small matters rather than concentrated in one production.

Policy & Vendor

02 + 05

Firms with multiple existing AI subscriptions and no written policy

6 — 8 WK

Full AI use policy aligned to your state's adoption of the ABA Model Rules and the December 2025 Task Force guidance. Vendor consolidation: review your existing AI subscriptions, redline the contracts of the ones you are keeping, and benchmark against peer-firm terms. Most common engagement for mid-sized firms whose AI footprint accumulated organically and now requires retroactive governance.
