The Legal Intelligence
Behind Your AI Strategy
A 22-year litigator and certified AI strategist helping law firms adopt artificial intelligence with the governance, privacy, and compliance discipline the profession demands.
What we do
Most law firms know they need AI. Few know how to deploy it without breaching client confidentiality, privilege, or their own ethical obligations. That's the gap I close — translating between the courtroom and the model, the senior partner and the prompt.
AI Governance Frameworks
Custom-built governance structures for your firm: acceptable use policies, vendor vetting, model selection criteria, audit logs, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Defensible, board-ready, regulator-aware.
Privacy & Compliance Audits
Full audit of your firm's AI exposure: GDPR, CCPA, state-by-state privacy laws, and ABA Model Rule 1.6 implications. Findings delivered with a remediation roadmap, not a 200-page report nobody reads.
Attorney AI Training
Live and on-demand programs — including the flagship "AI Governance, Privacy & Law Firm Policy" course (1.5 credits). Built for working attorneys, not academics. Real cases, real workflows.
Workflow Automation Design
Practice-area-specific automation playbooks: discovery review, brief drafting support, deposition prep, contract review pipelines. Built around what your associates actually do — not vendor demos.
Vendor Selection & Negotiation
Independent evaluation of Harvey, Legora, Lexis+ Protégé, Alexi, DeepJudge, Thomson Reuters CoCounsel, and bespoke vendors. Negotiation support on data clauses, training opt-outs, and indemnification.
Litigation AI Strategy
For firms facing AI-adjacent matters: deepfake authentication, algorithmic bias claims, AI-generated discovery, and judicial AI disclosure rules (post-Mata v. Avianca). Built on actual litigation experience.
Michael Compo, Esq.
Twenty-two years inside courtrooms — civil litigation, trial work, motion practice, the whole grind. Then AI showed up, and I watched my profession panic.
Some firms ban it outright. Others let associates loose with ChatGPT and pray nothing leaks. Almost none have a governance framework that survives a bar complaint, a privilege challenge, or a regulator's deposition.
That's why Legal AI Strategist LLC exists. Not to sell you software. Not to write your policies in jargon. To translate between two worlds that don't speak the same language — the law and the model — so your firm adopts AI with the discipline it already brings to every other risk.
