An AmLaw 50 law firm handling high-stakes litigation and M&A transactions needed to modernize their document review process while maintaining absolute client confidentiality and attorney-client privilege.

Company Size 1,500+ attorneys
Location New York, NY
Use Case Legal document analysis, contract review, discovery

The firm was losing competitive bids to rivals using AI-powered document review, but their risk management and ethics committees would not approve any solution that sent client documents to external servers—regardless of the vendor's security certifications.

  • Client confidentiality requirements precluded cloud AI services
  • Attorney-client privilege concerns with third-party data processing
  • Competitors gaining advantage with AI-powered document review
  • Manual review costs consuming project budgets
  • Partners demanding AI capabilities without compromising ethics obligations

SLYD deployed a fully air-gapped AI infrastructure in the firm's secure data center. The system runs specialized legal LLMs for document analysis, contract extraction, and case research—all without any data ever leaving the firm's controlled environment.

Infrastructure Deployed
  • 4x NVIDIA H100 80GB GPUs
  • HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen11 Servers
  • Air-gapped network configuration
  • SLYD OS with legal-specific security profiles
  • Custom fine-tuned legal LLMs

Document review time dropped by 80% on average. The firm now handles 100,000+ documents daily with AI assistance, enabling them to take on larger matters while maintaining profitability. More importantly, they've won three competitive bids specifically because they could offer AI-powered efficiency without any client data exposure concerns.

We went from telling clients we couldn't use AI due to privilege concerns to having a competitive advantage because our AI never touches the internet. That's a complete transformation in our market position.
