AI for small firms, confidentiality first.

Small firms carry a lot of trust and a lot of paperwork. A two-attorney office a few blocks from the courthouse, a CPA practice heading into tax season and an independent insurance agency in Colonie look different from the street, but the week is similar: new clients to take in, drafts to write, dates to track and an inbox that never empties.

AI is fast at the groundwork. It can summarize an intake call, sort a full inbox, pull a date out of a scanned letter and turn your template into a first draft. It is not good at judgment. So we set it up the way a careful firm would.

Locked down before anything goes in. Before a single client file goes near AI, the accounts are in your firm’s name, training on your data is off, and access is limited to your team. No personal accounts, no free chatbots, no client files pasted into a browser tab at home. If you want an NDA, we sign it first. Then we write a short, plain policy your team can follow and train them on it in person. Our guide on keeping business data safe in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini covers the basics.

A professional reviews every draft. AI writes the first version. An attorney, CPA or licensed agent edits it, signs it and decides whether it goes out.

Your systems stay in charge. Docketing rules, tax software, agency management systems and document folders stay where they are. We build around them, not over them.

From our side of the desk: Dom runs a construction company, so he’s the client asking his insurance agent for a certificate by end of day, and the one handing his accountant a year of bank statements. He built systems for both on his end: paperwork on autopilot and books from bank statements. We’d like to help the offices on the other end, too.

Start with the job your staff likes least. Call or text us, and we’ll come to your office and take a look.
