The consent gate
No material comes in before three things are done. The gate is the reason the rest of this is possible.

Every document passes through eight layers before it reaches you.
Six of them are the system. The seventh is me. The eighth is what leaves the office. Nothing skips a layer, and nothing moves to you until I have approved it.

Intake
Every file goes into your own matter and only yours, logged by who sent it, when, and which version it is, and checked against the list of materials the task needs. The 24 to 48 hours start when that list is complete.

The draft meets what the office already knows: templates, the positions the firm holds in a negotiation, and what happened the last time this came up.

Every issue comes back with the words it is based on, the clause it sits in, and how much it matters. Numbers are worked out in code, not estimated.

The lawyer
An independent check and a quality gate in code go over the draft first. Then I read every line, check the sources and the facts, decide the issues, and work the draft with the system, round after round.
Until I approve it, everything is a draft.

The matter number, the figures and the clause shown above are an illustration of what each layer produces. They are not taken from a real engagement.
Matters keep arriving. The system keeps taking them.
Each one enters through the consent gate, works down through the layers and reaches me. It goes back with my notes, round after round, until I approve it. Then to the client, then to the other side, and their comments start the loop again, until signing.

Matters do not arrive one at a time and they do not wait their turn. Each enters through the consent gate, passes layers two to six, and reaches me. It goes back into the system with my notes and returns, round after round, until I approve it. The approved version goes to the client, and once the client approves it, to the other side. Their comments come back and another round starts, until the documents are signed.
50–70% lower fees for the same work.
Measured against my own pricing for this work before I used the system. The reading, the comparing and the first drafting is where the hours went. That part no longer costs what it cost. What remains is judgment, negotiation and approval, and that is most of what the price now reflects.

What the market saysout of 100%
78%
of senior legal leaders say cost reduction is the main thing they want from their outside providers' use of AI.1

the share of legal work billed by the hour today, and where those surveyed expect it within two to three years. The outline is today, the solid bar is the expectation.2
64%
of in-house counsel expect to rely less on outside counsel because of generative AI, and half expect to pay less for it.3
240 hours
a year is what professionals using AI expect to save, five hours a week. An expectation across the professions, not a measurement of this office.4
Privilege and confidentiality are kept.
The system is part of my work on your matter, not a separate service you talk to. Your material does not go into open consumer AI tools unless you agree to it in writing. This is how it works in practice.
The full position is set out in the AI use notice. Output from the system is not legal advice unless I have read it and adopted it.
Under my direction, inside your matter
The work runs on tools the office controls, subject to confidentiality obligations, your instructions and applicable law.
One client's information never moves to another
Your material is held in your matter. It is not used to answer someone else's question. Only general lessons, with nothing that identifies you or the deal, become part of the firm's knowledge.
Consent is separate, and you can withdraw it
Before anything starts you give separate written consent to the use of the system. You can ask that it not be used on a matter, and that instruction is recorded in the engagement.
You can always ask what was done
At any point in a matter you can ask which parts of the work used the system and how the output was checked.
You are not hiring software.
Gideon Levit, Adv.
Admitted to practise law in Israel in 2000. Since then I have worked in commercial and corporate law, sixteen of those years as a partner in Israeli law firms.
A large part of my work has been with startups, from incorporation to the exit: financing rounds at every stage, mergers and acquisitions, technology, licensing and distribution agreements, R&D collaborations and joint ventures. I have also acted for investors and venture capital funds. The companies were in software, medical devices, fintech, precision agriculture and renewable energy.
In 2022 I joined an international infrastructure development and investment group, whose investments include venture capital, as senior legal counsel. There I handled cross-border transactions, directed the group's external counsel in Israel and abroad, and set up a new impact measurement practice that also served clients outside the group.
That is where I saw what a company needs from its lawyer, and what it pays for without meaning to. The system does that work. The judgment stays mine, and so does the responsibility for every document that leaves the office.
LLB, University of Hertfordshire. LLM in International Business Law, London Metropolitan University. I work in Hebrew and English.
Start with the scope and the timing.
Tell me what the matter is and roughly when it needs to happen. I will come back with the next steps and propose terms in writing. No legal work starts before an engagement is agreed.
