ReframeWhy pasting documents into a chat is not enough
In a chat, a lawyer gives the AI tool only the files the lawyer pastes, and nobody checks the ethical walls that screen a matter. The lawyer also sends each pasted document outside the boundary your firm controls.
| Approach | What the AI tool sees | Ethical walls |
|---|---|---|
| A lawyer pastes or uploads files | Only the files the lawyer selects | The tool never checks a wall |
| A separate connection for each tool | The files each connection exposes | Your engineers enforce the walls again in every connection |
| One governed source over MCP | The documents the lawyer can open, read in place | The source checks the walls before the tool reads any passage |
Seven steps to answers from your firm's documents
- Choose one practice and the iManage workspaces the practice uses.
- Define the legal ontology of the practice: the clients, matters, agreements, provisions and dates your lawyers compare.
- Read the documents in place in iManage and your collaboration systems, and link every fact to the source document.
- Connect Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot to the governed source over the Model Context Protocol.
- Require each tool to sign in as the lawyer who asks, and check the lawyer's walls and permissions before every read.
- Log every question, answer and refusal in an append-only audit log.
- Measure accuracy against answers your lawyers approve before you widen the program to a second practice.
What your lawyers see
Ask Claude what leverage ratio applies to a deal, and the answer cites the credit agreement and the amendment, each with a link to the source document. Ask Copilot the same question, and Copilot returns the same answer with the same sources. Ask about a matter you are screened from, and Reframe refuses the request and logs the refusal.
