The state-aware operating spine for legal work.
Every matter. Every contract. Every deadline. One interpreted state. One recommended next action. One approval spelled out. Insight-only.
The problem
Your team owns a CLM, an eDiscovery platform, matter management, Outlook, and now a drafting AI. And a paralegal spending half their day reconciling data across them. The point tools work. The reconciliation between them doesn't.
The Praesensus difference
Praesensus is the layer that sits above the point tools you already own. It reads what they produce. It resolves identity across them. It maintains a live knowledge graph of your matters, contracts, deadlines, obligations, and counsel. And it produces one unified recommendation per decision — with the named drivers and the required approval.
Not another point tool. The substrate.
What it catches — every day, in the background
Missed statute of limitations
Missed cure or notice window
Missed regulatory filing
Unknown-to-firm obligations
Cross-matter conflicts
Standard-form defects
Privilege lapse risk
Settlement authority exceeded
The three invariants
Every claim we make reinforces three architectural commitments. They hold at every layer, in every deployment mode, for every customer.
Insight-only
The system observes, reasons, and advises. It never actuates on legal matters. Permanent, not a phase.
Fail-closed governance
Default-deny. Every advisory carries an approval-tier requirement, a reason code, and a HALT path if governance conditions aren't met.
Federate patterns, not privileged content
Raw privileged material never leaves the firm. Only derived typed structure and outcome patterns move across the network.
How it plugs in
Standards on one side. Legal-vendor connectors on the other. One appliance in your rack, tenant, or air-gap.
Standards-based
SAML 2.0 · OIDC · SCIM 2.0 · LDAP · syslog · REST · mTLS
Legal-vendor plugins
M365 · iManage · NetDocs · Ironclad · Icertis · PACER · Westlaw · Lexis · Relativity · Clio · Aderant
Deploy your way
Cloud tenant
Per-firm namespace, your data residency choice, continuous updates.
On-prem connected
Signed appliance in your datacenter. Federation via mTLS.
Air-gap
Zero automated outbound. Federation via signed daily pull and monthly push.
From day one to density
100 teams → cross-firm benchmarks turn on. 1,000 teams → federated pattern intelligence — the moat lives.
Same platform. Same subscription. Enhancements switch on at density. At scale, the network makes every advisory sharper without touching your privileged content.
