Private AI for Law Firms in Minneapolis & Minnesota

Using a public AI tool on privileged material creates real risk: ABA Formal Opinion 512 requires lawyers to evaluate whether client information is disclosed to or retained by the tool's provider, and Model Rule 1.6 requires reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure. A private AI environment changes the analysis—the model runs on infrastructure dedicated to your firm, no third party processes or retains client data, and your existing confidentiality controls apply. Your ethics counsel makes the final call; we provide the written technical facts they need.

The highest-value uses we see: summarizing depositions and discovery, drafting routine correspondence and first-pass documents from your own precedents, answering questions across matter files with citations to the source documents, and building intake or chronology summaries for attorney review. It does not replace legal judgment—every output is a draft for a lawyer to verify, which is also what Opinion 512 expects.

Three options: (1) managed hosting on single-tenant hardware in Minnesota that we provision and operate for your firm; (2) an on-premise server installed inside your office, behind your firewall; (3) your firm's own private Microsoft Azure tenant. In all three, documents stay in your dedicated environment, are never used to train any model, and retention is defined in writing.

For drafting, summarization, and document Q&A, current open-weight models running on 96 GB-class GPUs perform comparably for most firm workflows. We prove it rather than assert it: the pilot includes a blind side-by-side comparison on your real (sample) documents, reviewed by your attorneys, before you commit to anything monthly.

Managed private AI starts at $1,500/month plus a one-time setup engagement; on-premise installations are quoted individually. It starts with a discovery call and a fixed-price pilot under NDA—we stand up the private environment, load sample documents, and your attorneys evaluate real output on real work. One recovered associate-hour per day typically covers the subscription several times over.
