Practice · Investigations & Disputes
When the answer is
somewhere in the record.
Internal investigations, transaction diligence and disputes turn on documents nobody has had time to read. We read them, organise them into one account of what happened, and put a source behind every sentence — so counsel can argue from it.
Two rooms, one matter
Every matter runs on two rooms, in plain words. The War Room is where we do the analysis — one chronology, the questions the matter raises, and where the record stands on each. The Data Room is where AI does the volume work on the client's own records — reading scanned pages into searchable text, rebuilding payroll sheets into workbooks, merging duplicate emails, matching attachments to the messages that carried them, and fingerprinting every original — so people can decide, page by page, what an outside party sees. Chosen investigation pages and their source evidence are shared with that party, who signs Terms of Use first, sees only what their own group was given, and has every view recorded. Both rooms have Ask the AI; in the Data Room it answers only from what was actually shared with that party, and cites the record behind every sentence. The approach behind it comes from our founder's 3,000+ hours studying AI before we built anything with it.
How a matter runs
A matter gets a room of its own. The record goes in — agreements, payment files, payroll, filings, correspondence, whatever exists — and comes back organised four ways: one chronology, the questions the applicable standard makes you answer, the documents themselves, and the people.
Two things make it usable rather than merely tidy. Every fact in the chronology names the document it came from, so anyone reading can go straight to it. And the room's assistant answers questions on that matter's record in plain language, citing the document behind each sentence — and reporting an absence as an absence rather than filling it.
See it rather than take our word for it. The demonstration matter is the real product running on invented facts. Start at Ask the matter AI — the citations are the point. The same matter's records, made usable, are at the demonstration Data Room.
Confidentiality
A room belongs to one matter. Members are invited by name and address; there is no password, and each member signs in with a one-time link that opens that room and expires. Every document opened and every question asked is written to that matter's audit log under the member's name. Removing a member removes the room. Nothing is shared between matters, and nothing about a live matter appears on this website — which is why the demonstration above runs on invented facts.
Where we fit
We are not counsel and do not give legal advice. We work as a vendor to the firm or to the company, under the engagement's privilege arrangements, on the part of the problem that is reading and reconciling a large record quickly and defensibly. Counsel keeps the judgement; we make sure it rests on the whole record rather than the part someone had time to read.
Engaging us
Most matters begin with a scoping call and a written engagement letter naming the scope, the fee basis and who holds the work product. Tell us what the matter is and what the deadline is, and we will tell you whether we are the right vendor for it.
Questions we get asked
How does a matter room keep our material confidential?
A room belongs to one matter. Members are invited by name and email address; there is no password, and each signs in with a one-time link that opens that room and expires. Every document opened and every question asked is written to that matter's audit log under the member's name. Removing a member removes the room. Nothing is shared between matters, and no live matter appears on this website.
What does the matter assistant actually do?
It answers questions on that matter's record only, in plain language, and cites the document behind every sentence. When the record is silent it reports the absence rather than filling it. Both rooms have one: try the War Room's at slglobal.ai/demo/war-room/ask.html, and in the Data Room use the Ask button on any page of slglobal.ai/demo/data-room/.
What is the difference between the War Room and the Data Room?
The War Room is where the analysis happens — one chronology, the questions the matter raises, and where the record stands on each. The Data Room is where AI reads, converts and organizes that matter's own records, with a fingerprint on every original, so people can choose which investigation pages and evidence to share with an outside party — who signs Terms of Use first and sees only what their own group was given. Walk both at slglobal.ai/demo/war-room/ and slglobal.ai/demo/data-room/.
Are you a law firm?
No. We are a vendor to the firm or to the company and do not give legal advice. We work on the part of the problem that is reading and reconciling a large record quickly and defensibly.
What kinds of matters do you take?
Information-intensive ones: internal investigations, transaction diligence and disputes — matters that turn on agreements, payment files, payroll, filings and correspondence that nobody has had time to read in full.
How are engagements structured?
Most begin with a scoping call and a written engagement letter naming the scope, the fee basis and who holds the work product.
