One platform for attorneys and business teams to automate citation checks, monitoring, reporting, and client portals with full attribution and source control.
41 citations confirmed, 3 flagged as overruled or superseded, each linked to the authority and passage.
A court publishes an order. Someone checks the page, opens the document, decides who needs it, and drafts an email. An alert fires. Someone pulls the company data and starts the memo. A practice leader needs a report. Someone runs the query and formats the spreadsheet.
The judgment is the job. The assembly around it is not.
Less assembly. More judgment.
Start with one finished output. A citation-checked brief. A monitoring digest. The weekly time-entry report. Bring a sample of work the firm would accept.
Connect the sources. iManage, Outlook, the DMS folder, the firm's templates, approved research sources. Each attorney's own permissions.
Define the review points. Which steps need a lawyer. What routes to whom. Where the output lands.
Review, not redo. Every claim cited to the passage, every edit attributed, with time travel to any prior version.
Paste a brief or email a folder of motions to the workflow's address. Every citation is verified, the underlying case retrieved, overruled or superseded authority flagged. The review document returns with only the exceptions for a lawyer.
A market alert triggers the next steps: collect approved company information, assemble a chronology, prepare a memo on the firm's template with sources attached. A reviewer sees it before it becomes advice or outreach. One practice group receives the memo in about 10 to 15 minutes.
Court, docket, and regulatory sources checked on a schedule, 100+ browser sessions a day at one firm. A digest with the source document, retrieval time, and a short explanation. Monitoring is not a substitute for official service or deadline controls.
Hourly pulls from market and legal databases; an AmLaw 100 market map with 1,000+ cited entries. The marketing and BD team became the firm's largest internal user.
Firm financial operations that took days are now roughly 95% automated, with the team's judgment applied at the end.
Time-entry and unbilled reporting off synced Azure SQL. PACER invoice allocation to billable and non-billable. A bill-review workflow two years in production. Define the calculations once; reuse the workflow.
A CLE Q&A application over 250+ PDFs built in 15 days. An FAQ agent that answers by email for people who never log in. Entity-relationship diagrams from documents for conflicts and KM. Trademark image-similarity search.
A firm-branded portal for requests, submissions, and review status. Uploading is separate from submitting; submitting from acceptance. An authorized reviewer decides. External clients use it without individual licenses.
A white-labeled application for every attorney and staff member, included in Athena services. One firm grew to 90+ users organically.
“The tools have way more capacity than we have the mindset to maximize them at this stage, but, you know, that's a good problem to have.”
“So we use the SDK, and we write that in Python, and it calls Athena majority by API. The results appear in the interface itself.”
“Obviously, you guys have really good security. We trust you guys with your security of what we do.”
“Does look pretty much very impressive compared to everything else that we're exploring.”
“You guys have a lot more control because you guys own the interface.”
“Things have moved from the theoretical to the reality stage.”
“It's good to understand the capability of the platform. That how far, and how quickly you guys can get these things going [...] that has been impressive overall.”
“Lets us get a lot more out of our data than [...] We can sit on top of all of the data in [our data warehouse] as opposed to just, like, our little ingested, you know, three gigabytes semantic models. I think we have a lot of power here.”
“Gave Athena the spreadsheet, explained which column I was trying to figure out, and then ten secs it told me... exactly how the calculation was based on the other data.”
“He wrote the entire stuff. By itself. And I was there, and I was thinking, alright. If I had to write all this stuff, I mean, I would've spent days, days, days.”
Verbatim from customer calls. Customers anonymized.
Agents handle an individual assignment: read these sources, compare these authorities, explain this figure. Workflows (Agent Operating Procedures) repeat a defined process on a schedule or trigger with review and delivery steps. Applications give attorneys, clients, and practice leaders a focused interface to the work.
Athena provides the platform. Your firm brings the procedures and the domain judgment.
Choose the deployment, approved sources, and allowed actions with IT and risk. Managed cloud or your own environment. Source-system permissions inherited. Tool approvals configurable. Discovery-aware retention and hard delete on your schedule. Document the data handling for the connectors and model providers you enable.
Public case-law search in our reference build uses public authority sources. It does not demonstrate comprehensive legal-database coverage and does not replace an attorney's validation of authority. Connect your licensed research databases (Legal research, Legal research, etc.); the workflow uses them with your credentials.
Research, check citations, draft on your templates, monitor regulatory changes, and answer policy questions from your own materials.
A lawyer you name reviews before anything becomes advice or is sent.
Agents use each person's own permissions, and Athena can run in your own environment.
With one recurring task that has a clear standard of done.
Records every change by a person or an agent, rolls back one contributor's edits without losing anyone else's, and keeps the model, instructions, and sources behind each agent action.
How the platform is deployed: Athena's managed cloud, your cloud on AWS, GCP, or Azure, on-prem, air-gapped, or GovCloud. Same platform in every option.
Build, Work, and Data on top; 150+ connectors and every surface in and out; one map of the whole platform.
Ready-made legal briefs you can run on a schedule.
We will scope the workflow with you, agree the review points, and expand after the output and controls meet your firm's requirements.
