Legal practice
Your associates are already using AI on live matters. The question is whether the firm is directing it.
Archetype helps law firms turn AI from a quiet compliance risk into a measurable commercial advantage — without slowing the practice down.

The gap
Ambition is not the problem. Direction is.
Most firms have associates quietly using consumer tools on client work, partners reading vendor pitches they can't easily evaluate, and no shared view of where AI actually fits. The gap isn't ambition. It's a clear, prioritised plan the partnership will back.
Archetype helps you understand what's already happening, decide where AI creates real value, and build the capability to execute — sector-specific, plain-spoken, no AI hype.
How AI works in legal
Six functions where AI is changing the work.
We work across the practice, not on a single tool. These are the six places we focus — translated into the workflows your team actually runs.
02
Case research & precedent
Faster legal research and precedent retrieval across your know-how, with proper grounding so associates can rely on what comes back.
03
Client intake & matter triage
Structured intake, conflicts checks and matter triage that routes work to the right team and surfaces commercial issues earlier.
04
Matter profitability analysis
Time, scope and write-off analysis across matters so partners can see where margin is actually made — and where AI changes the unit economics.
05
File & workflow automation
Standard tasks across litigation, corporate and private client matters automated end-to-end, with sensible controls and version history.
06
Pitch, BD & directory submissions
Faster, sharper pitches, capability statements and Chambers/Legal 500 submissions, built on what the firm has actually done.
