AI Strategy
For General Counsel Offices
AI can shrink your legal department's cost — or expand what it delivers.
You get to choose.

We help General Counsel and in-house legal leadership build AI strategy that increases your team's capacity, demonstrates ROI to the C-suite, and keeps you in control of the technology decisions that affect your entire organization.

The Cost of Waiting

What happens when your department doesn't have an AI strategy

Your outside counsel firms are starting to use AI — which means the work you're paying for is being delivered differently, whether you know it or not. Meanwhile, your CEO is asking what AI means for the legal department's budget, your team is experimenting with tools that haven't been vetted, and the vendors calling you can't explain why their platform is better than the models your team can already access directly.

Every quarter you wait, the GC offices that started earlier are demonstrating more value to their C-suite, handling more work with the same headcount, and making the case for investment that puts them ahead of departments like yours.

The Real Opportunity

The GC offices getting this right aren't cutting costs. They're expanding what they can do.

The easiest pitch for AI in a legal department is cost reduction. But the GCs who are winning the internal conversation are making a different argument: with AI, the legal department can take on work it used to send to outside counsel. It can provide strategic analysis, not just legal review. It can move from being a cost center to being a competitive advantage.

If you lead with cost cutting, you'll get a smaller budget. If you lead with expanded capacity, you'll get a seat at the strategy table. We help you make the second argument — with the data and the methodology to back it up.

Who We Are

We've built technology companies, served as General Counsel, and practiced at the highest levels of global law firms. We also write code every day.

We've built and sold technology companies, led government agencies, served as general counsel, negotiated international privacy frameworks, and practiced at the highest levels of global law firms. We also write code, work with the models daily, and conduct original research on large language models.

When we tell you what these tools can and can't do, it's because we've tested it ourselves. When we say something isn't ready yet, that's worth even more.

Your leadership team doesn't need certainty — they need clarity. That's where we start.

How We Work With Your Department

Your 3-Step Plan

01

Enable Your Leadership Team

We train your General Counsel, Deputy GCs, and department heads — because AI is more useful for the most experienced lawyers than for anyone else. Your senior attorneys spot good and bad AI output immediately. We start with the people whose judgment matters most.

02

Build the Economic Case

We help you quantify what AI means for your department's budget, capacity, and strategic value. Not just cost savings — but the expanded scope that makes the C-suite see legal as an investment, not an expense.

03

Unlock Your Department's Intelligence

Your department data, outside counsel spend, and matter analytics hold answers your C-suite keeps asking for. We train your leadership to query their own data in natural language and deploy AI agents for complex analysis — all inside intelligence community-grade secure enclaves powered by Memoria.

What We've Learned

Three things nobody else is telling you about AI in legal departments

01

Your most senior attorneys are better positioned for AI than anyone else.

AI is one of the first technologies that's more useful for the most experienced person in the room. A first-year attorney can't evaluate whether AI output is accurate. Your deputy GC with 20 years of experience spots it immediately. The smartest departments train from the top down.

02

Your department's AI conversations are a strategic asset.

Every time someone on your team works with AI, they create institutional knowledge — judgment patterns, preferences, writing style, regulatory interpretations. Most organizations let this vanish after every session. We capture it, protect it, and make it shareable across your team.

03

You're probably overpaying for outside counsel work that AI can bring in-house.

The work your outside firms bill at partner rates — research, first-draft analysis, regulatory summaries, contract review — is exactly the work AI handles well under experienced supervision. Until you understand which categories of outside spend can move in-house, you can't build the ROI case your CFO needs.

Common Questions

Questions your team will ask

01

What about data security and confidentiality?

We deploy on the same infrastructure used by the military and intelligence community. Zero data retention, isolated environments, and encryption that meets classified government standards. The security model mirrors how intelligence agencies handle compartmentalized access — which is exactly how your department handles privileged information.

02

We already have someone leading AI for our department.

Good — that means you have a head start. We work alongside your existing AI leadership. Our role is to bring use cases they haven't seen, the economic modeling methodology that demonstrates ROI to the C-suite, and the executive training approach that sits outside their scope. We make your AI initiative more visible to the CEO and the board.

03

How is this different from what our outside counsel firms are offering?

Your outside counsel firms have a conflict of interest — AI that makes your department more self-sufficient reduces their billings. We have no such conflict. We're focused entirely on expanding what your department can do.

04

How fast will we see results?

Your leadership team sees tangible outcomes in the first two weeks. Secure AI infrastructure deployed in your environment. Training sessions where your GC and deputy GCs learn concepts they've never been exposed to — how models actually work, where the real risks are, and what the vendor landscape actually looks like. Soon, your first senior attorneys are reaching for AI tools before they reach for outside counsel.

05

What does an engagement actually look like?

Engagement duration is tailored to your department's scope and priorities. We start with your General Counsel and senior leadership, then cascade through practice area leads and department managers. Each session is hands-on — your team works with their own data in a secure environment. We'll walk you through exactly how the platform, pricing, and timeline work during our first conversation.

The GC offices that lead on AI will define the next era of in-house legal. The ones that wait will be playing catch-up.

We work with a small number of organizations at a time. Each engagement is high-touch, led by senior people, and built around your department's specific priorities.
