AI for law firms · Singapore

AI for law firms, built by someone who trained in law.

Your lawyers should spend their hours on advice, not on intake forms, conflict searches and chasing signed engagement letters. We automate the work around the legal work, and a lawyer approves every decision that matters. It works 24/7, so no enquiry goes unanswered and no new client is missed, even at night or on weekends.

Demonstration: the AI agent for Avernixx Demo Law Firm takes a client enquiry on WhatsApp, runs a conflict check, passes it to a lawyer and drafts the engagement letter

We speak your language

A founder who understands how a law firm works

Shirley Lim, our Founder & Chief AI Officer, trained in law (LLB, University of London) before working in IT (University of Newcastle) and AI (Caltech, MIT). So the first conversation is not about technology. It is about your duties to your clients, and how AI can respect them.

  • Solicitor-client privilege
  • Confidentiality under the Professional Conduct Rules
  • Conflict checks before you take a matter
  • PDPA consent, retention and cross-border transfers
  • The Courts' guide on generative AI tools
  • A lawyer signs off anything that reads like advice
How it works

From first enquiry to signed engagement letter

One example: the AI Omnichannel Sales Agent and the Quotation & Follow-up automation, set up for a law firm. The highlighted steps are always a lawyer.

  1. 01AI
    Enquiry arrives

    WhatsApp, website chat or email, 24/7, in English or Chinese. No enquiry is missed, even after office hours.

  2. 02AI
    AI intake

    Captures the matter type, parties, urgency and documents, and replies politely without giving advice.

  3. 03AI
    Conflict check

    Searches your client and matter list for the parties and related names, and flags possible matches.

  4. 04Lawyer
    Lawyer review

    A lawyer accepts, declines or asks for more. Conflicts are never cleared by the AI.

  5. 05Lawyer
    Fee quote and engagement letter

    Drafted from your own templates and rates. The lawyer approves before anything is sent.

  6. 06AI
    Follow-up and booking

    Polite reminders until the letter is signed, and the first meeting booked into your calendar.

Behind it: your Knowledge Assistant

Your team asks in plain words and gets answers from your own precedents, templates and practice notes, with the source document for every answer.

  • ✓ Every step logged
  • ✓ Access by role and matter
  • ✓ Data region agreed with you
  • ✓ No client data used to train AI models
Governance first

Built for the confidentiality you owe your clients

01
A lawyer decides

Advice, conflicts and fee terms always go through a named lawyer before anything leaves the firm.

02
Full audit trail

Every message, search and draft is logged, so you can show who did what and when.

03
Access by role

Staff see only the matters and documents their role allows.

04
Your data, your region

We agree in writing where your data is stored and processed, and how long it is kept.

05
No training on client data

We use AI providers' business services, which do not train their models on your data by default.

06
No public chatbots

Privileged material stays inside the tools we set up for you, never in free public AI apps.
