Why firm records have value
Anyone can read published cases and statutes. The private part is how experience becomes better work, such as the reason a partner reworked a standard clause or the way associates learn to review a lease.
That know-how lives in your templates, precedent banks, checklists and process records.
Records that are often a fit
- Precedent banks and templates. The way documents get built and clauses get picked.
- Checklists and training guides. They capture how the firm trains people to find problems.
- Process and workflow records. How work is opened, staffed and closed.
- Matter records, by choice only. They go in only if your firm and its counsel decide that.
The first concern: privilege and client confidentiality
Duties of privilege and confidentiality set real limits. We give no legal advice and never say licensing is permitted for a given firm. Your firm and its counsel decide what, if anything, could be in scope.
Privileged material comes out. The focus stays on the firm's own internal know-how, and client matters can be left out completely. Wherever names remain in scope, every person, client and company becomes a placeholder.
What you can keep back
- Privileged material. Always removed.
- Client matters. Leave out one, several or every matter.
- Whatever counsel flags. It stays out, and you owe no explanation.
How your firm gets started
Start with the estimate form. Within minutes, a License Your Data specialist calls to book a 15-minute call under NDA. Next, License Your Data makes a de-identified copy of the records in scope. You approve a sample before any buyer licenses that copy.
Common questions from firms
Who chooses what goes in?
Your firm and its counsel do. No record is shared before you approve a sample.
Is the first call confidential?
Yes. Everything starts under NDA.
Does it cost the firm anything?
No. There is no cost to you.
What should we get ready for the call?
Nothing formal. It helps to know your team's tools and about how long you have used them. You will not be asked to export files.
Start with a range, then bring in your counsel.
