Yes — the entire AI system runs on your local network via the Mac Studio. Because there's no cloud dependency, you get full data sovereignty, which is ideal for firms handling sensitive, regulated, or high-value matters.
Absolutely. Since all data stays within your own infrastructure, the setup supports compliance with GDPR, the UK Data Protection Act, SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) principles, and Bar Council confidentiality guidelines.
Mistral 7B is a state-of-the-art, open-source large language model that offers near-GPT-3.5 performance while giving you full control and customisation. Unlike commercial APIs such as ChatGPT, it runs entirely offline, can be fine-tuned for legal tasks, and carries no usage-tracking or data-leakage risk.
Certainly. We offer fine-tuning of the AI on your own matters and documents, custom action triggers within SpineLegal workflows, and role-based access controls with firm-specific vocabulary.
The system supports multiple concurrent users, depending on your Mac Studio's configuration. Typically, we recommend up to 10 users on standard models, though scalable options are available for larger teams — just ask about clustering or multi-node setups.
Your SpineLegal-integrated AI continuously learns from your updated database. Additionally, you can schedule incremental fine-tuning sessions for deeper contextual understanding.
Initial deployment is a one-time fee. However, an optional Year 2+ maintenance package is available, covering AI updates, SpineLegal integration enhancements, and ongoing support and performance tuning — priced from £1,950/year.
Yes, via SpineLegal's integrations. For example, you can draft documents in SpineLegal and export them to Word, use AI-generated content in Outlook through email templates, or ask us about bespoke integration requirements.
