For Singapore law firms
Every lawyer in your firm, using AI the right way.
Kept builds AI systems for Singapore law firms and trains your lawyers to run them. First-pass document review and due diligence, checked by a lawyer, kept on your own tenant, and funded up to half by EDG.
One M&A data room
Representative arithmetic, set conservatively. Every flag is checked by the reviewing lawyer.
The week you recognise
A corporate associate reads a few hundred contracts for one data room, clause by clause, against a deadline the deal team set. Change of control, assignment, termination. Most of it is pattern-matching billed at an associate's rate, and the client questions the bill.
Your associates already use ChatGPT. On personal logins, sometimes with a client's matter pasted in. The Law Society has told firms not to do this. It is a professional-conduct problem before it is an IT one.
In March 2026 the Ministry of Law published its guide for generative AI in legal work. Clients and opposing counsel now have a written standard to hold your firm to. Doing nothing stopped being the safe option.

Privilege is the design, not an appendix
Built for privilege, not just for speed
- Runs on the firm's own tenant. Client matter never enters a public tool or a training corpus, an architectural constraint rather than a policy line.
- A lawyer signs off on every AI-assisted output before it reaches a client or a court. The system drafts, it never advises.
- Full audit trail: what the system flagged, what the reviewer changed, and who signed.
- Access mirrors your matter-management roles and conflict walls.
- A written AI-use policy your partners can adopt, mapped to the Ministry of Law guide and the Law Society advisory.
Prepared against the Ministry of Law's Guide for Using Generative AI in the Legal Sector (6 March 2026) and the Law Society's advisory on public AI tools, on the managing partner's desk before anything is built.
After the engagement
What your firm can do once we've left
The firm keeps the margin
Recovered hours go back to billable work, not to a discount on the fee. Realisation goes up, not down.
Associates do lawyer work
First-pass reading goes to the system. Your associates spend the hours on analysis and advice, the work that makes them partners.
Privilege stays intact
One reviewed workflow on the firm's own tenant replaces a dozen private ChatGPT logins. The confidentiality risk moves from unmanaged to documented.
Your people keep the system
Your associates run it after we leave. No per-seat licence, no vendor to call when the next matter lands.
How an engagement works
Diagnose. Build. Train. Leave.
- 01 90 minutes
Working session
You describe the problem. We map how we would approach it. Within 24 hours you receive a written assessment specific to your firm, written to be forwarded to your partners without editing. No second meeting implied.
- 02 2–3 weeks
Diagnostic
Staff interviews and process mapping. You receive the opportunity map, the roadmap with conservative arithmetic, and the grant-application scope. Self-contained: if AI is not the right answer for your firm, the document says so.
- 03 6–12 weeks
Build & train
One working system, on your tenant, built around your review standards, and your staff trained to run it. Fixed scope, fixed duration, documentation and a 30-day warranty included.
- 04 Ongoing
You run it
The capability stays with the firm. Most clients operate independently, which is the intended outcome. A maintenance plan exists for those who want one; it is optional and we say so.
The practice
An advisory practice. Not a software vendor.
We build and we teach
A build without teaching leaves you dependent on us. Teaching without a build leaves you with theory. Do both and the firm ends up owning something.
No retainer treadmill
Most legal-AI vendors rent you a seat and bill every month. We build the system once and hand it over. Do the work well and you stop needing us.
We do the grant paperwork
We scope the engagement to qualify for EDG support and prepare the application with you, before any work starts. The filing is part of the service, not a referral to someone else.
Common questions
Is AI-assisted review defensible to a client or the court?
Every point the system flags carries a documented lawyer review before it reaches a report or a filing. You keep the audit trail and the written AI-use policy as deliverables. The system reads at scale, your lawyer decides. That is the design constraint, and it is built to the Ministry of Law's March 2026 guidance.
Where does our client matter go?
Nowhere outside your control. The system runs on your own tenant, and nothing you put into it trains any model. You get the data-flow diagram in the diagnostic, before anything is built. This is the setup the Law Society advisory asks for.
We are a twelve-lawyer firm. Is this sized for us?
Yes. The model is built for the ten-to-a-hundred-lawyer practice. The diagnostic is priced for a managing partner to sign off alone, and EDG support applies at your size. The legal-sector schemes shift often, so we confirm what is open the week you apply.
