Anchor™ — AI Governance Infrastructure for Law Firms

AI-Assisted Legal Work
Is Becoming Discoverable.

Law firms are using AI for drafting, research, expert analysis, and document review.
Most firms cannot reconstruct it, defend it, or govern it.

The Problem

What Happens When AI Usage Becomes Evidence

Opposing counsel already asks. Regulators are starting to. Your governance infrastructure needs to be ready before the question arrives.

⚖️

Discoverability Exposure

AI-assisted drafting, research, and analysis leave a forensic trail your firm cannot currently reconstruct or produce on demand. Every prompt to ChatGPT or Claude is a potential discovery artifact with no chain of custody.

Opposing counsel has already begun requesting AI usage logs in major litigation. Your firm may have no defensible response.
🔒

Privilege & Work Product Breach

Attorney-client communications and work product sent to third-party LLMs may destroy privilege. Without routing controls, associates and staff make these decisions individually, inconsistently, at every prompt.

A single uncontrolled AI interaction can waive privilege across an entire matter. Most firms have no enforcement layer in place.
📜

Authority Verification Failure

LLMs hallucinate citations. Cases are misquoted, statutes misidentified, paragraph numbers fabricated. Your client signs off on the work product. The court does not accept "the AI said so" as an excuse.

Bar complaints and sanctions for unverified AI-generated citations are already a matter of record. The liability is real and it attaches to the attorney, not the model.

Anchor Capabilities

Institutional AI Governance at Every Layer

Not a citation checker. Not a monitoring tool. Anchor is the governance infrastructure that sits between your attorneys and every AI interaction.

🛡️

Work Product Mode™

Enforces work product characterization at the prompt level. Every AI interaction is tagged, timestamped, and written into a defensible chronology before content reaches the model.

Privilege & WP
🔐

Privileged Mode™

Routes attorney-client communications through privilege-controlled channels with explicit classification. Blocks uncontrolled transmission of privileged content to external AI providers.

Privilege Control
📚

Authority Verification™

Validates legal citations against authoritative sources at the moment of use. Flags hallucinated cases, misquoted statutes, and unsupported propositions before they leave the firm.

Citation Integrity
🔁

Governance Replay™

Complete session-level reconstruction of every AI interaction by matter, attorney, and date. Produces defensible governance packages for discovery, bar review, or institutional audit.

eDiscovery-Ready
🔍

Concordance-Style Review™

Boolean search across your firm's entire AI interaction history. Full-text indexing, matter tagging, risk scoring, and reviewer workflow — the review paradigm legal teams already understand.

Search & Review
📊

BoardView™

Firm-level governance dashboard for managing partners and GC offices. Aggregate risk scoring, matter-level exposure summaries, and policy compliance tracking across all AI-assisted work.

Deployment Architecture

Endpoint-Local Where It Matters. Cloud-Governed Where It Belongs.

Anchor answers the question every AmLaw IT director asks first: "Does sensitive attorney-client content leave the endpoint?" The answer is no — unless your governance policy explicitly permits it.

Endpoint Layer

Anchor Node™
Desktop + Word Add-in

Native Electron runtime on the attorney's device. Governs every AI interaction at the point of use — before the prompt leaves the firm.

  • Real-time PII detection and redaction
  • Privileged Mode routing controls
  • Work Product Mode enforcement
  • Authority verification at prompt time
  • Pre-send review panel
  • Endpoint-local interaction log
  • Word Add-in integration (Office.js)
  • Loopback-only, no inbound network access

Secure Bridge

Anchor Worker API
Governance Relay

Authenticated relay layer. Receives only what the governance policy permits. No raw attorney-client content transits unless explicitly cleared.

  • JWT session authentication
  • Firm-level tenant isolation
  • Content classification enforcement
  • Governance event relay
  • Outbound HTTPS only
  • Provider routing controls

  • Ghost Memory™ — session chronology
  • Multi-matter governance index
  • RegulaSim™ regulatory simulation
  • Graph™ relationship mapping
  • Cross-attorney governance rollup

For IT & Procurement

Deployment Review Package

Anchor is designed to pass enterprise IT review. Everything your security team, CISO, and managing partner need to approve deployment — available on request.

What IT Reviews Before Deployment

We provide a complete technical package for institutional review. AmLaw firms have standard procurement checklists. Anchor meets them.

  • Endpoint access: user-selected documents and local application data only
  • No inbound network connections from external machines
  • Loopback (localhost) communication between Node and Word Add-in
  • Outbound HTTPS: Anchor API domains, Microsoft identity endpoints only
  • AI provider routing: configurable, reviewable, policy-governed
  • Privilege Mode routing: endpoint-local, no external transit
  • Interaction logs: endpoint-local with optional cloud sync under policy
  • Tenant isolation: firm-level, no cross-tenant data exposure
  • Encryption at rest and in transit on all cloud-sync paths
  • RBAC: nine role tiers, Analysis access restricted to credentialed attorneys
  • Word Add-in: standard Office.js manifest, deployable via M365 admin
  • Anchor Worker API: endpoint list, port configuration, and data-flow diagram included

Deployment Data Flow

Five steps from attorney keystroke to governed governance record. No step transmits privileged content unless explicitly cleared by policy.

1
Attorney types in ChatGPT or Claude Anchor Node intercepts at the composer — before the prompt reaches the LLM provider.
2
Pre-send governance review PII detected and flagged, citations extracted, risk score assigned. Attorney reviews and approves.
3
Governed prompt sent to LLM Redacted or approved version transmitted. Interaction record written to endpoint log.
4
Response scanned on return AI output analyzed for PII, citation integrity, and risk. Margin badge displayed to attorney.
5
Governance event relayed to Runtime Metadata — not raw content — relayed to Anchor Runtime for chronology, replay, and BoardView.
