The Legal Profession's AI Dilemma

Legal professionals face a unique challenge with AI tools. You handle some of the most sensitive documents imaginable—privileged attorney-client communications, confidential M&A materials, sealed court filings. Yet the promise of AI for legal research, contract review, and document analysis is too valuable to ignore.

Legal AI Pain Points:

Cloud AI tools are a potential breach of attorney-client privilege
Reviewing hundreds of pages of contracts is time-consuming
Finding specific clauses across documents requires manual searching
Maintaining separate matters and avoiding cross-contamination
Drafting correspondence and briefs takes hours of writing time

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Elephas truly safe for privileged documents?

Yes. With local AI models via Ollama, all processing happens on your Mac. No data is transmitted to any server. This is as secure as your Mac itself—documents never leave the machine.

How does this compare to legal-specific AI tools?

Most legal AI tools require cloud processing, creating privilege concerns. Elephas is the only Mac-native solution that offers true offline processing for sensitive legal documents while providing powerful AI capabilities.

Can I use Elephas for case law research?

Elephas works with documents you provide—contracts, depositions, correspondence, your own legal memos. For case law research, we recommend pairing it with traditional legal databases (Westlaw, LexisNexis).

How do I ensure matters stay separate?

Each Super Brain is completely isolated. Documents in one Brain cannot be accessed by another. Create a separate Brain for each client or matter, just like you'd maintain separate physical files.

What's the cost for a law firm?

Elephas is $9.99/month per user. With local AI processing via Ollama, there are no additional API costs. No expensive per-seat enterprise minimums or long-term contracts.

Can Elephas help with compliance (GDPR, HIPAA)?

Elephas's offline mode is ideal for compliance-sensitive work. However, consult your firm's IT and compliance teams to ensure it meets your specific requirements.
