Arguments and perspective, organised by theme so related pieces can be read together.

orchestration

Legal AI as a planning and coordination system, not only a chat layer.

orchestrationWorking
Legal work is a planning problem, not a question answering problem
Legal work breaks when systems optimise for answers but ignore coordination, timing, ownership and state.

The routing layer: why law firms need to own AI coordination
As models, tools and vendors multiply, firms need a controlled layer that decides where work goes and why.

governance

Controls, execution gates and accountability at the point where AI output is relied on.

Last mile liability: why the risk starts when AI output gets used
Governance should focus on the point where output becomes action, not only on generation.

private inference

Confidentiality and control as routing choices within a wider operating model.

private inferenceWorking
Private inference belongs in the routing layer
Private inference is one route among many when confidentiality and control matter, not a separate ideology.

legal workflows

Matter state, sequencing and ownership across tasks, teams and legal outcomes.

legal workflowsWorking
Matter state is the missing layer in legal AI
Without a live picture of phase, obligations and decisions, routing, accountability and monitoring float above the work instead of tracking it.
