Venance runs inside your firm's environment, so legal teams can ask questions across matter documents without sending client data to third-party AI servers.
On-prem deployment · Matter-level isolation · Source-cited answers
Every workflow starts inside a matter. Documents, questions, answers, and citations stay scoped to that matter.
Contracts, pleadings, depositions, correspondence, and exhibits are indexed locally.
Search across the matter without manually opening every file.
Responses include document and page references so attorneys can check the source.
Guided workflows built on the same private, source-cited foundation.
Generate first-draft memos grounded in the matter's record, with every assertion linked to its source.
Surface inconsistencies, prior statements, and exhibit references across the deposition set.
Produce concise matter summaries with citations attorneys can verify in seconds.
Install Venance inside the firm's environment on hardware you already own.
Each case or client workspace gets a separate document index.
Attorneys query the matter in plain language.
Every answer links back to the source document and page.
Generic AI tools can be useful, but sensitive legal work requires a different posture. Venance keeps documents, prompts, and outputs inside infrastructure the firm controls.
Documents and prompts are not sent to external model providers.
Each matter stays isolated, reducing the risk of cross-client leakage.
Answers are grounded in the documents attorneys can inspect directly.
Venance deploys inside the firm's environment, with local inference, matter-scoped retrieval, and an auditable activity trail.
AI runs inside the firm's infrastructure.
No product analytics or hidden data collection from client documents.
Uploads, queries, and access events can be logged for review.
A controlled install path for firm-owned environments.
Nowhere. Venance runs entirely on hardware inside your firm — a machine you control. Documents, prompts, embeddings, and model responses never leave that machine. There is no Venance cloud, no external inference endpoint, and no telemetry on matter content.
Every answer Venance returns is grounded in documents you uploaded to that specific matter, and every claim is linked back to the exact source file and page. If a fact isn't in your matter set, the model is instructed to say so rather than fabricate. Attorneys verify against the cited source — the same way you'd check a junior associate's memo.
No. Venance enforces matter-level isolation. A query inside Matter A can only retrieve from Matter A's document set. There is no shared embedding pool across clients, and no cross-matter context leakage by design.
Because inference is local, using Venance does not involve disclosing client information to a third-party service provider. There is no vendor-side access to prompts or documents, which materially simplifies the confidentiality analysis compared to cloud-hosted AI tools.
Venance is built for working across a matter's document set: asking questions, surfacing relevant passages, comparing positions across exhibits, and producing source-cited summaries. It is counsel-directed — designed to accelerate the work attorneys are already doing, not to generate unverified legal opinions.
Workflow extensions for memo drafting, deposition prep, and case summaries are in active development with our pilot firms.
Every query and every document access is SHA-256 logged locally. Firms can produce a complete record of which user asked what, against which documents, and which sources the model cited — useful for supervision, ethics review, and discovery defensibility.
No. Venance compresses the time spent locating and synthesizing information across thousands of pages. The legal judgment, strategy, and final work product remain with your attorneys. Firms in our pilot use it to free senior time for higher-leverage work, not to reduce headcount.
Minimum 8 GB of unified memory; 16 GB or more recommended for larger matters. No cloud account, no GPU procurement, no IT overhaul — most pilots are operational within a day.
