Why labs look past case law
Published cases and statutes are already public. Nobody outside sees how your firm turns years of practice into sharper work: a partner revising a stock clause, or the training behind an associate's lease review.
That know-how lives in your templates, precedent banks, checklists and process records.
Firm records that often qualify
- Templates and precedents. They show how a document is laid out and which clauses go in.
- Training material and checklists. The way your lawyers learn to catch issues.
- Process and workflow records. How work is opened, staffed and closed.
- Matter records, if you opt in. Your firm and its counsel make that call, and the default is out.
What most firms ask first: 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. Any question of scope is settled by your firm and its counsel.
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 stays with the firm
- Privileged material. Always removed.
- Client matters. Keep them out one at a time or all together.
- Anything your counsel flags. Out, no reason needed.
How it starts for you
It begins with the estimate form, and a specialist from License Your Data calls within minutes to arrange a 15-minute call under NDA. License Your Data then prepares a de-identified copy of what you put in scope. Buyers license it only after you approve a sample.
Questions owners ask
Do we need to prepare anything for the call?
No. Knowing which tools your team uses, and roughly since when, is enough. Nobody asks you to export files.
Who decides what is in scope?
Your firm, with its counsel. Nothing is shared until you approve a sample.
Does it cost the firm anything?
No. You pay nothing.
Is the first conversation kept confidential?
Yes. Everything starts under NDA.
Start with a range, then bring in your counsel.
