Uthereal enterprise AI platform

Cortex

Legal Agents that run your process, with the lawyer in the loop

Uthereal legal agents mirror how your firm actually works. They face your clients directly, carry your process from first question to finished pack, and hand every output to a named lawyer for review. Your expertise scales. Your accountability does not move.

Book a walkthroughCortex overview

Legal work is a process before it is an answer

Most of what a firm bills for is not the moment of judgement. It is the intake, the chasing, the structuring, the drafting from a precedent that already exists, and the explaining of the same twelve things to the same kind of client.

A legal agent takes that layer. It asks the questions you would ask, in the order you would ask them, using the material you already own. When it reaches the point where judgement is required, it stops and passes the matter to you with everything prepared.

The result is a client who feels served from the first minute and a lawyer who starts at the part that actually needs a lawyer.

Lawyer vetted building blocks

A legal agent is not a generic chatbot. It is a Cortex assistant shaped around your domain, your documents, and your review gates. It combines lawyer vetted workflows, technical documentation, and filing templates to guide users through complex legal processes and produce structured reports for lawyers.

End to end legal processes you can ship

Each of these is a complete client journey, built on your own precedents and delivered under your own brand.

Legal counsel

Your practice knowledge, available to your clients

Put everything you know about your own process into an agent and give it to the people you serve. Clients ask in plain language, the agent answers from your playbooks, precedents and guidance notes, and it escalates the moment a matter needs judgement.

  1. 1Client asks a question in your portal or on your site
  2. 2Agent answers from your firm's own material, with citations
  3. 3Out of scope or high risk questions route straight to a lawyer
  4. 4Every exchange lands in the matter file as structured intake

Startup law

Incorporation, run end to end with the founders

An agent walks the founders through the whole formation, gathers what you would have gathered in three calls, and produces the pack your lawyer reviews and executes. Founders move faster and your team stops retyping the same intake.

  1. 1Company form, jurisdiction and cap table basics
  2. 2Share split, vesting schedule and cliff
  3. 3Good leaver and bad leaver conditions
  4. 4Founder and shareholder agreement terms
  5. 5Filing pack assembled for lawyer review and signature

Trademark application

From brand idea to a filing ready application

The agent takes the client through class selection, specification wording and the evidence you need, flags obvious conflicts for a lawyer to assess, and prepares the application so your team reviews rather than assembles.

  1. 1Mark, goods and services captured in the client's own words
  2. 2Nice class guidance drawn from your firm's filing history
  3. 3Specification drafted in your house wording
  4. 4Conflict signals surfaced for professional assessment
  5. 5Application pack ready for attorney review and filing
And many more

The same pattern applies to any repeatable matter type. Firms build agents for these next:

  • NDA and commercial contract review against your playbook
  • Employment contract generation and onboarding packs
  • GDPR and data processing agreement assembly
  • Funding round readiness and data room preparation
  • Corporate housekeeping, filings and annual returns
  • Client onboarding, conflict checks and KYC intake
  • IP portfolio questions and renewal guidance
  • Dispute intake, triage and evidence collection

The lawyer stays in the loop, by design

Client facing does not mean unsupervised. Every agent runs inside a review model your risk partner can sign off on.

  1. Step 1
    Scoped

    The agent only operates inside the matter types and sources you approve.

  2. Step 2
    Grounded

    Answers cite the exact precedent or guidance note behind them.

  3. Step 3
    Escalated

    Anything outside scope or above a risk threshold routes to a named lawyer.

  4. Step 4
    Signed off

    Nothing reaches the client as advice until a lawyer reviews and releases it.

Frequently asked questions

A legal AI agent is an AI system shaped on a firm's own precedents, templates, playbooks and process steps. It runs a defined legal workflow with the client, collects the right inputs, drafts the right documents, and hands the matter to a lawyer for review. It is not a general chatbot and it does not invent law. Cortex Legal Agents are composed of Cortex assistants specialized in the legal domain, combining lawyer vetted workflows, technical documentation, and filing templates.

Always. Uthereal legal agents are designed as client facing intake and drafting layers. Every output routes to a named lawyer for review, sign off and release. The agent removes the repetitive scaffolding, not the professional judgement or the regulated advice.

Yes. A startup law agent can walk founders through company form, share split, vesting and cliff, good leaver and bad leaver conditions, founder agreements, shareholder agreement terms and the filing pack, then present the completed file to the firm for review and execution.

No. Cortex connects to the sources you already use, including document management systems, precedent banks, SharePoint, Drive, wikis and databases. Agents read from those sources and write structured output back into your existing process.

Matters run inside your private workspace with SSO, role based access control and audit logs. Data stays in EU residency, and your client material never trains a public model. Access can be scoped per matter, per client and per team.

Every grounded answer cites the exact source passage it came from, so a lawyer can verify the basis of any statement in seconds rather than rereading the file. Anything outside the connected sources is refused rather than guessed.

Yes. Legal agents can be white labelled and embedded in your own website, client portal or product, or exposed via API, so the client experience carries your firm's brand rather than ours.

Harvey builds AI tools that help lawyers research, draft and reason inside the firm. Cortex Legal Agents face your clients directly and run a complete legal process from intake to draft pack, always handing off to a lawyer for review. If Harvey is an AI colleague for lawyers, Cortex is a client facing legal product line that sits on your own precedents and under your own brand, with Swiss data residency and full model choice.

DeepJudge is a powerful enterprise search and knowledge discovery layer for law firms. Cortex Legal Agents go further: they do not just retrieve knowledge, they act on it. A DeepJudge style search finds the right clause; a Cortex agent asks the client the next question, drafts the document and prepares the filing pack. Cortex also runs on sovereign Swiss and EU infrastructure, with white label deployment and lawyer in the loop review built in from day one.

Swiss and EU data residency matters for legal work. Client files, privilege and regulatory obligations do not travel well across borders. Uthereal is built in Switzerland, runs on European infrastructure, and gives firms control over models, data and exit. That makes it a natural legal AI choice for Swiss, German and European firms that need compliance without compromise.
