Custom-built AI stack focused on downside risk and failure prevention, not generic no-code automation. The engine does not depend on retrieval patching for memory. It adapts to validated new information in under a minute and commits only what passes a five-point source-truth gate.
Clio charges $159/user/month. For a 10-attorney firm, that's $19,080 a year - and you still don't get AI. Attorney Minds is a flat $399.99/month for your entire firm, with built-in legal research, document analysis, and AI drafting. That's $15,000+ back in your pocket every year.
Hosted SaaS • Managed security controls • Review-gated AI guidance
Built for every practice area
These are the problems every growing law firm hits. They're costing you more than you think.
Every new associate, every paralegal, every clerk - that's another $49–$159/month on your Clio or MyCase bill. A 15-person firm pays $23,000+ a year just for practice management. You shouldn't need a spreadsheet to figure out what your software costs.
Attorney Minds charges a flat monthly fee. Add 5 users or 50 - your price doesn't change.You're paying for practice management AND Westlaw/LexisNexis AND now you need an AI tool for drafting. Three vendors, three bills, three logins. Your research doesn't talk to your documents, which don't talk to your matters. Everything is siloed.
Attorney Minds includes AI-powered legal research, document analysis, and drafting - all built in. One platform. One bill.Your ethical obligation is clear: protect client confidentiality. Generic SaaS tools often leave legal review, source traceability, permissions, audit trails, and retention controls scattered across multiple systems.
Attorney Minds centralizes matters, documents, review-gated AI workflows, access controls, and audit history in one managed SaaS platform.Not another generic project manager wearing a legal costume. Attorney Minds was built from the ground up for law firms - with AI that understands legal work, not just auditable capability chains.

Upload a contract, a deposition transcript, or a 200-page discovery bundle. The AI extracts key clauses, flags inconsistencies, identifies risks, and summarizes findings - in minutes, not hours. Your associates spend their time thinking, not reading for the third time.
Generate motions, demand letters, contract clauses, and client correspondence using AI that understands legal conventions and your firm's voice. Review and refine instead of starting from scratch. Available on Professional and Enterprise plans.
Documents, matter records, review artifacts, and audit events live in the managed Attorney Minds SaaS platform with tenant-aware permissions, encrypted storage, centralized secrets, backup controls, and production monitoring.

ABA Model Rule 1.6 requires reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to client information. "Our vendor says it's secure" isn't a reasonable effort. Controlling where the data lives is.
Hosted SaaS controls keep documents, matter records, review artifacts, and audit events in a managed document vault with tenant-aware access controls, encryption, centralized secrets, and monitored Kubernetes services.
For managing partners: Matter-level access, retention workflows, supervised AI review, and export controls help the firm manage legal work from one governed platform.
For IT administrators: AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. RBAC with four permission tiers: Admin, Attorney, Paralegal, and ReadOnly. Full audit logging for every action.
For compliance officers: SOC 2 and SOC 3 readiness work is tracked as evidence; no certification claim is made until an independent auditor issues the applicable report.
Every competitor charges per user. We charge per firm. Add attorneys, paralegals, clerks, and contract staff - your price stays the same. Every plan includes hosted SaaS access, managed security controls, and supervised AI workflows.

Unlimited users means unlimited seats, not unlimited AI. Firm AI pools are governed by fair-use controls, with AI Capacity Packs available at $149 per 5,000 actions. SOC 2 and SOC 3 readiness work is underway; no certification claim is made until an independent auditor issues the applicable report. All plans are delivered as hosted SaaS; no installer, on-prem, Swarm, Docker, or customer-managed VPS product is distributed.
A 10-attorney firm switching from Clio Complete to Attorney Minds Small Firm plan.
Annual savings: $24,700–$30,840 • Payback period: < 1 month • Plus unlimited users at no extra cost
Client confidentiality isn't a feature you toggle on. It's the foundation of everything we built.
SOC 2 and SOC 3 readiness work is maintained as platform evidence. Certification is not claimed until an independent auditor issues the applicable report.
Encryption at rest and in transit, centralized runtime secrets, managed backups, and monitored Kubernetes services protect hosted firm workspaces.
Admin, Attorney, Paralegal, ReadOnly. Control exactly who sees what. Paralegals see their assigned matters. ReadOnly users can't modify records. Fully auditable.
Firm access is isolated by tenant-aware authorization, role permissions, audit logging, and retention controls. ABA Model Rule 1.6 support is handled by governed SaaS controls, not customer-managed servers.
We never use your client data, work product, or case files to train AI models. Period. Attorney-client privilege is non-negotiable, and so is this policy.
Every login, every document access, every modification - logged and queryable. When a client or regulator asks who accessed what and when, you have the answer instantly.
Real outcomes from practices that stopped paying per-seat and started practicing smarter.
“We were paying $1,750 a month for Clio Complete across our team. Attorney Minds costs us $399. Same features, better AI workflows, and no servers for us to run. The switch took less than a day.”
“The AI document analysis changed everything. My associates used to spend an entire day reviewing a contract bundle. Now the AI flags the issues in 15 minutes and they spend their time on strategy, not scanning pages.”
“We tried three other platforms before Attorney Minds. The others required weeks of training and half the firm still used the old system. Attorney Minds was intuitive enough that everyone switched within days - including our most tech-resistant partner.”
Straight answers. No sales speak. These are the objections we hear most.
Three fundamental differences. First, pricing: they charge per user per month, so your bill grows every time you hire. Attorney Minds is a flat fee for unlimited users. Second, AI: Attorney Minds includes AI legal research, document analysis, drafting, source traceability, and review queues integrated into the platform. Third, governance: legal-risk outputs route through supervised review before customer release.
Per-seat pricing was designed to maximize vendor revenue, not to reflect actual costs. Adding a user to hosted software costs far less than the per-seat markups firms are used to paying. Attorney Minds keeps seats unlimited, meters AI fairly at the firm level, and prices extra AI capacity separately when a firm actually needs it.
Subscribe through the Detailed In Design portal, complete firm approval, and receive a hosted Attorney Minds workspace. Onboarding covers firm setup, roles, import support, and first-run testing. There is no customer installer, Docker package, or customer-managed VPS product.
Client and matter data is processed in the hosted Attorney Minds SaaS environment to provide the service. It is protected by tenant-aware authorization, encrypted storage, managed secrets, audit logging, retention controls, and a policy that customer legal documents are not used to train public AI models.
The AI uses a deterministic, purpose-built engine - not a general-purpose chatbot. It surfaces relevant case law, statutes, and regulatory guidance with citations. Every result links to its source authority so you can verify before relying on it. The AI is a research accelerator, not a replacement for legal judgment. It finds the needles in the haystack; your attorneys decide which needles matter. Confidence indicators show you exactly where the AI is certain and where you should dig deeper.
Most firms can start onboarding quickly after account approval. You create users, assign roles, import matters and documents, and begin with supervised AI workflows. The platform team operates the runtime and release pipeline.
The current public plans include SaaS onboarding in the subscription. If a firm needs unusual data migration, custom integrations, or enterprise capacity planning, those services are handled through the quote process before launch.
Attorney Minds AI is a tool, not a lawyer. It produces research summaries, document analyses, and first drafts - all with confidence indicators and source citations. Your attorneys always review, verify, and make the final call. The AI accelerates the work; it doesn't replace professional judgment. Every output clearly labels its confidence level and links to source material so you know exactly what to verify. Think of it as a very fast, very thorough research assistant who always shows their work.
A 10-attorney firm saves $15,000+ per year by switching. That's a new associate's bonus. A firm retreat. Technology that actually earns its keep. Subscribe today and start hosted SaaS onboarding after firm approval.
