AI built for how lawyers actually work.
Real document review against codified playbooks. Matter memory that follows every attorney. Real-time access to case law, statutes, and the Federal Register — not generic web search. Permission-aware from day one for partner / associate / paralegal workflows.
Why GearHead for Legal Firms
Three things every legal practice needs from AI. Most platforms can't even do one of them well.
Real document review
Contract review against 36 playbooks — software/SaaS, healthcare provider, manufacturing supply, NDA/MSA/SOW, real estate, water rights, environmental compliance, conservation easements, and more. Flags risks, finds compliance gaps, suggests drop-in language. Multi-model consensus.
Matter memory across the firm
Senior partner builds strategy. Associate picks it up next week. GearHead surfaces the full history — parties, decisions, opposing counsel notes, deadlines. With role-based permissions, paralegals see exactly what they're cleared to see, no more.
Authoritative real-time data
Congress.gov, eCFR, Federal Register, Regulations.gov, GovInfo, CourtListener case law, SEC EDGAR, USPTO. Plus 12 states direct (OR, WA, CA, TX, FL, AZ, IN, MA, MI, NY, OH, VA) and LegiScan/OpenStates for all 50. Not search results — actual structured data, pulled live with citations.
What GearHead actually does for you.
A representative day for an attorney at a boutique or mid-size firm with GearHead deployed across the practice.
Matter status digest
GearHead has pulled overnight email, court filings (via CourtListener), and any regulatory updates affecting your active matters. Federal Register flags one rule change relevant to a client. You triage in 10 minutes.
New matter intake
A new client form arrives. GearHead drafts the engagement letter, creates the matter folder in your DMS, and surfaces conflicts based on your firm's history. You review and approve.
Contract review
A vendor SaaS agreement lands for review. GearHead runs it against the Software/SaaS playbook — flags two limitation-of-liability concerns, one unusual termination clause, and a missing data residency provision. Drafts redline language. You spend 30 minutes instead of 3 hours.
Litigation research
You're researching a precedent. GearHead searches CourtListener directly, surfaces three relevant 9th Circuit opinions, summarizes the holdings, and connects them to your firm's prior brief on a similar issue. Real citations, not hallucinations.
Client meeting prep
Before a client call, GearHead pulls the full matter history — every prior interaction, every decision, every open issue. With role-based permissions, the associate on the call sees the right scope; the paralegal sees admin only.
End-of-day matters
A routine pulls today's billable hours from your timekeeper, flags anything that needs partner review before invoicing, and queues tomorrow's court deadlines. You close the laptop on time.
