AikinAIKIN

Agentic OS for boutique law firms.

Your lawyers stop drafting from scratch, your clients stop chasing you for updates, and you stop leaking billable hours. Every agent runs on your firm's own precedents and processes — and nothing goes out the door without a lawyer's sign-off.

The buyer

A boutique firm, overworked at the edges

3–15 lawyers, often specialised. Partners bill at €200–400/hour but spend 30–40% of their time on work that isn't billable or is under-billed — intake, research, boilerplate drafting, chasing clients, summarising. Here's where it goes.

Client intake

Enquiries arrive by phone, email, and web form. Conflict checks, fee quotes, engagement letters, KYC/AML — slow and inconsistent.

Document drafting

Contracts, NDAs, letters before action, motions, memos. Seventy percent of any document is boilerplate the firm has written a hundred times.

Legal research

Case law, statute lookups, jurisdiction-specific precedent — hours per matter.

Document review

Due diligence, contract review, discovery. Brutal manual work, often outsourced.

Client communication

Status updates, “where's my matter,” document requests, billing questions — constant interruptions.

Leaked billable time

Lawyers under-record time. Every firm leaks 10–20% of revenue here.

The Agentic OS for a law firm

Not one mega-agent — a constellation of specialised agents working off shared context, with a lawyer in the loop wherever it matters.

The intake agent

Handles new enquiries across channels. Runs an initial conflict check against the matter database, captures the facts, classifies the matter type, generates a fee estimate from firm history, drafts the engagement letter, runs KYC/AML. Routes qualified matters to the right lawyer with a full briefing.

The drafting agent

Generates first drafts of routine documents — NDAs, employment contracts, demand letters, standard pleadings — pulling from the firm's own precedent library, not generic templates. The lawyer edits rather than writes from scratch. This is where the time savings are biggest.

The research agent

Handles “find me cases on X in jurisdiction Y” with proper citations, flags conflicting authorities, and summarises into a memo. Connected to the firm's existing legal databases rather than hallucinating.

The review agent

Does first-pass contract review — flags unusual clauses, missing protections, deviations from the firm's standard positions. The lawyer reviews the flags rather than reading every line.

The matter agent

Keeps clients informed proactively. “Your matter has progressed to stage X. Next step is Y. We need Z from you by Friday.” Drafts updates in the partner's voice.

The time agent

Watches calendars, emails, and documents to suggest time entries. The lawyer approves or edits. Recovers most of the leaked billable hours.

The knowledge agent

Makes the firm's own history searchable in plain language. “Find me the best precedent we've drafted for an earn-out clause in a tech M&A deal.”

Built with care where it matters

Three things make a legal engagement more careful than the others — and shape how Aikin designs it.

Confidentiality is non-negotiable

Privilege, GDPR, and professional rules drive the design. Aikin's hybrid architecture lets sensitive matter data be handled with stronger guarantees and verifiable audit trails — where the data lives is a decision your compliance person signs off on.

Hallucination is a career-ender

Every research and drafting agent is grounded in the firm's own library and licensed databases, with citation verification and mandatory human approval for anything client-facing. Nothing goes out the door without a lawyer's sign-off.

Adoption is cultural

Partners are senior and rightly skeptical. The pilot starts with one practice area and one champion partner, delivers an obvious win, then spreads. Discovery identifies that champion early.

How the engagement works

Two paid steps. Discovery first; the build is quoted from what discovery surfaces.

Step 1 — Discovery & Blueprint

2–3 weeks

We shadow your lawyers and map the matter lifecycle. We identify the champion partner and the pilot practice area, and run a security and privilege review that defines which data stays where.

Deliverable: A blueprint plus a data architecture document your compliance person can sign off on — with a quoted price and timeline for the build. Yours to keep.

Fixed price: €10–15K.

Step 2 — Build & Implementation

quoted after discovery

Start with the intake and drafting agents in the pilot practice area. Connect to your DMS, practice management system, and research databases. Each agent ships with mandatory human approval and runs in parallel with your existing process before it goes live. Expand to other practice areas — and to research, review, and matter agents — as confidence builds.

Deliverable: A working Agentic OS. Law involves more integration depth and security review than other verticals — typically the upper half of the build band.

Price: €40–120K depending on scope.

Step 3 — Optional retainer

ongoing

Strongly relevant for legal AI: the firm's precedent library grows, case law evolves, and the agents need ongoing tuning.

€5–8K / month.

A note on the numbers: the gain from legal AI shows up as added capacity for more matters at least as often as it shows up as fewer billable hours. We'll be honest about which one applies to your firm in the discovery conversation, not before it.
