Approach
We built Appellate Agents as a thin layer over established AI infrastructure, focused on one specific kind of work.
Built for the work, not around it
Most legal tooling is built for general practice. We built Appellate Agents to be narrower by design. Our workflows and document templates are tuned for the specific shape of appellate work — circuit briefs, petitions for review, post-trial motions — rather than retrofitted from broader litigation tools.
Lawyer-driven, AI-augmented
Every output we produce is reviewed by a lawyer before it goes anywhere. We built the platform to take the mechanics out of research and drafting so the time that's left can go to judgment — the part that actually decides cases.
What we do
We support research and drafting workflows: surfacing relevant authority, drafting issue statements, structuring arguments, and producing first-cut work product that a lawyer then refines. We designed the platform for use by licensed attorneys within an existing attorney-client relationship.
How we handle information
We use enterprise-tier AI infrastructure with contractual no-training and short data retention terms. Our users are responsible for ensuring their use is consistent with their professional obligations and any applicable client instructions.
What we are not
We are not a legal research database, not a case management system, and not a substitute for the lawyer who signs the brief. We are a workbench for a specific kind of work, and nothing more.
What it produces
Hand the platform a question the way you would describe it to a colleague. It returns a research package — search strategy, case law, statutes, and regulations — in working formats you can drop into a memo or brief.
Search strategy
A tiered Boolean search built from your question, tuned to the conventions of the major legal research platforms.
Parallel retrieval
Searches run across multiple databases at once, with results reconciled before they reach you.
Sortable case index
A frequency analysis of the cited authorities, surfacing the cases that actually matter and presenting them as a sortable index.
Per-case memos
A short memo for each authority — holding, key reasoning, and pinpoint citations.
Statutes and regulations
Operative statutory text and implementing regulations, with currency checks and treatment flags.
Tax research
Code sections paired with their Treasury regulations and the relevant sub-regulatory guidance, in the form practitioners expect.
Private beta
The platform is currently in invitation-only private beta. Active seats are extended to investors and to a small number of advisors with appellate-practice expertise. See the access page for licensing detail and the investors page for the path in.
Important. Output from the platform must be independently reviewed and supervised by an attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction. See the disclaimers for the full notice.
