Plaintiff attorneys and regulators don't check if your software looks good. They scan for non-compliance liabilities. We build and audit digital infrastructure engineered to survive a rigorous courtroom cross-examination.
Every line of code architected by veteran compliance auditors and legal-grade engineers.
We build custom framework guardrails protecting your core assets across highly-monitored environments.
Forbidding invisible tracking pixels from accidentally leaking patient portal workflows to ad networks.
Hardening transaction code paths and preserving an un-alterable forensic database audit trail.
Systematically removing accessibility blockers to shield your enterprise from predatory plaintiff demand letters.
Rigorous programmatic handling of consent logic, cookies, and verifiable user deletion rights.
If your intake chatbot, triage widget, or client-facing AI touches a user in the European Union — even one — the EU AI Act applies to you. The disclosure, transparency, and human-oversight obligations landing on EU deployers today are the same ones US regulators, state AGs, and bar associations are quietly adopting for tomorrow.
Article 5
Prohibited practices
Social scoring, manipulative dark patterns, and certain biometric inference are banned outright. A law-firm chatbot that pressures a lead or infers sensitive attributes can fall inside this line without anyone noticing.
Article 50
Users must know they're talking to AI
Any AI system that interacts with a natural person requires a clear, machine-readable disclosure. Synthetic content — including AI-drafted client communications — must be labeled. Most law-firm sites are not built this way.
Annex III
High-risk classification
AI used in access to justice, immigration, credit, or employment screening is high-risk. That triggers risk management, data governance, logging, human oversight, and conformity assessment — engineered in, not bolted on.
Penalties
Up to €35M or 7% of global turnover
Enforcement is not theoretical. Even a US-only firm that markets remotely and accepts an EU-resident client can be pulled into scope through the Act's extraterritorial reach.
Two questions I ask on every single intake
If either answer is "I'm not sure," you need an EU AI Act posture review before your next marketing push.
What I explicitly build in
Standard web development shops build pretty structures that fall apart during an aggressive regulatory cross-examination. Our dual approach treats legal criteria as functional engineering laws.
"We didn't know" is never accepted as a valid legal defense strategy. Our specialized service provides continuous oversight, defensive code compilation, and legal peace of mind.

Advertising
Compliant Law Firm Sites
Law-firm websites and client-intake portals designed around your state's advertising and ethics rules — disclaimers, testimonials, specialization claims, intake boundaries, engagement-letter workflows, and trust-account-aware payment flows.
AI Guardrails
Legal-AI Development
If you're building or deploying AI for legal services, I map exactly what it can and cannot do, and build the UPL boundaries, supervision workflows, and disclosures into the product itself.
Regulatory Build
Fintech & Real Estate
Regulated platform builds for real estate, fintech, and trust-services workflows that must satisfy RESPA, SEC, FTC, and consumer-protection requirements.
Compliance Audits
Site & Product Reviews
A fixed-fee review of your web presence against bar advertising rules, FTC disclosure standards, CAN-SPAM, and SMS regulations, with a prioritized fix list your developer can execute.
Capital Readiness
Legal-Tech Startup Structuring
Capital-raise readiness for legal-tech and fintech startups — SAFE/Crowd SAFE structuring support, Reg CF preparation, risk-factor drafting, and the documentation regulators actually ask for.
Solo and small-firm attorneys, immigration and consumer-facing practices, legal-tech and legal-AI startups, and real estate / fintech companies operating in regulated space.
I build with modern AI-assisted development. My last two platforms — independently estimated at $250,000–$400,000 to procure through traditional vendors — were built for a fraction of that. You get compliance expertise and the build in one engagement, fast.
