Industries — Legal
Work product that touches a third-party AI service invites a waiver argument. Optimus gives firms and legal departments frontier AI over matter files with confidentiality intact by construction.
Why sovereign
01
Model Rule 1.6 requires reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure of client information — efforts that are difficult to demonstrate once matter data has entered a third-party service.
02
Corporate clients increasingly write outside-counsel guidelines that forbid matter data in third-party AI tools. An on-prem appliance is the answer that satisfies the guideline instead of arguing with it.
03
Decades of briefs, memos, and deal documents are the firm's real IP. Retrieval and drafting over that corpus should compound your advantage — not train someone else's model.
The pain point — compliance
Privilege, once waived, is gone. Ethics opinions on generative AI converge on the same demands: competence, confidentiality, and supervision of the tool. All three are radically simpler when the tool is a sealed machine in your own server room.
The regimes in play
ABA Model Rule 1.6
Reasonable efforts to safeguard client information — evaluated against available alternatives.
Privilege & Work Product
Third-party disclosure is a recognized waiver theory that opposing counsel can be expected to raise.
Outside-Counsel Guidelines
Client-imposed restrictions on where matter data may be processed.
Cross-Border Data Rules
GDPR and blocking statutes constraining where litigation data may travel.
What cloud AI puts at stake
Optimus removes this exposure entirely: no external calls, no subprocessors, no egress — the full AI stack runs inside the controls you already operate.
