The entire document archive, under professional secrecy

Contracts, legal opinions, case law and client data are protected by professional secrecy. COGNITIV searches, summarises and drafts on them without any document leaving the firm.

Illustrative scenario

No external AI can touch the case files

Uploading case files to a cloud engine to search faster is not compatible with professional secrecy. Meanwhile, the firm's knowledge remains scattered across thousands of documents.

  • A lot of time spent searching the document archive
  • Risk of breaching professional secrecy
  • Knowledge scattered across documents

How COGNITIV solves it

COGNITIV reasons over the firm's entire document archive inside its server: it finds the precedent, summarises the case file and prepares drafts with the firm's own references.

The modules involved

  • HUBVector orchestrator: makes the entire document archive searchable
  • VAULTData and permissions: applies professional secrecy by design
  • TRACETraceability and audit: logs every query
In which distribution contracts signed since 2023 have we accepted a non-compete clause longer than two years?
In three contracts. Two also include a penalty for breach; in the third, the clause was limited in the final negotiation. I will prepare a comparison table with the verbatim clauses.

Before and after

Before

  • Hours searching for precedents and clauses by hand
  • External AI ruled out because of professional secrecy
  • Knowledge depends on who remembers each matter

With COGNITIV

  • One question finds the precedent and the clause
  • No document leaves the firm
  • The document archive becomes the firm's memory

The lawyer decides

COGNITIV does the heavy lifting (searching, cross-referencing, summarising and preparing drafts) and every answer links to the original document. The decision and the signature remain the professional's.
