Augment: build a defensible legal operating model
Get guided support to connect firm strategy, professional obligations, tool governance, workforce capability, and measurable control stability.
What guided work can address
Operating discipline
Design the Integrity Packet flow, Gate Steward roles, review thresholds, training, and evidence needed for safe client work.
Scale decisions
Use control coverage, validation gaps, handoff return rates, quality, and client impact to decide what to expand, hold, or stop.
Engagement outputs
- Firm AI governance brief with purpose, scope, obligations, and decision rights.
- Approved-tool and data-boundary register with prohibited-use examples.
- Consequence-tier validation and approval matrix.
- Integrity Packet standard, audit sample, and escalation playbook.
- Scale recommendation based on live-work evidence rather than adoption volume.
Leadership signoff
Firm leadership owns the decision to release or scale. Validation must be assigned to qualified domain owners, and material residual risk must be accepted explicitly rather than hidden behind policy language.
Bring to the conversation
Bring current policy, tool inventory, matter workflows, training records, incident or rework examples, control gaps, and the decision horizon. The engagement should produce a governance decision that the firm can operate and audit.
