Three things move in a nod. Each has its own route.
In the client's AI chat. When a legal question comes up, their AI offers to bring you in and opens a nod. It passes a topic, and questions for your client to answer. It passes no account of the matter.
On LegalNod's own private page. Your client writes their account there, to you, and attaches the documents. It is stored encrypted and comes to you first. Their AI receives it once you have accepted and sent your direction.
From your desk on LegalNod. Your direction and your answer are written by you, sent by you, and shown to your client as coming from you, with your name on them.
The moment you accept a matter is the line everything is organized around.
LegalNod never drafts your direction, never suggests a fee, and never answers a client. Those are yours.
In United States v. Heppner (S.D.N.Y., Feb. 17, 2026) the court held that a client's own AI chats were neither privileged nor work product, and remarked that AI used at counsel's direction might arguably function as a lawyer's agent within the privilege.
LegalNod is built around that distinction: a communication to counsel, made in confidence, with AI work done at counsel's written direction and a record that shows it. The court's remark was an aside and no court has ruled on this exact arrangement. 25 Cr. 503 (JSR), ECF No. 27.
What your client typed into an AI before bringing you in sits outside a nod, and so does anything they discuss with their AI outside the matter.
Their AI is run by its own provider under that provider's terms. When they connect, your client confirms their account is set to keep conversations out of model training.
If you are ever asked how a matter was handled, the answer is already written down.
Who did what and when: the account sent, the conflict cleared, the terms agreed, your direction, each working note, the review and your answer.
Each entry is chained to the one before it, so a changed or missing entry shows. Each time a document is opened on your side is an entry too.
Download any matter, or all of them, whenever you like: the account, your directions, the notes, the work, your answers and the record itself.
You can connect your own assistant to your LegalNod desk. It reads with you and drafts for you. Sending stays in your hands.
Clear answers.
No. LegalNod is software. The engagement is between the attorney and the client, on the attorney's own terms. LegalNod gives no legal advice, recommends no attorney, and takes no share of a legal fee.
The client's account, what they need decided, the other party, your directions and answers, working notes, questions and documents are encrypted in storage. Sign-in codes and connection tokens are kept only as fingerprints.
The client who opened it, the attorney it was sent to, and colleagues that attorney has put on their team for it. A company legal team sees matters from its own company's people.
Staff screens show which practice and attorney a matter belongs to and what stage it is at. The client, the topic and everything written on the matter are left out of them. When an attorney wants help, they can open one matter's record and its list of documents to support for 24 hours, and close it again at any time. Staff read a matter's content only to answer a legal demand or at the attorney's written request, through one procedure that writes the access into the matter's record and emails the attorney first. Every staff access is listed for the attorney under My practice.
Yes. Under My practice there is a page headed "How LegalNod handles client information", with your practice's name and the date on it, that prints or saves as a PDF.
No. Matter content is used to run the service for you and your client. It is not used to train models and it is not sold.
Before you accept, a topic and the nod's status. Once the matter is Under the Nod, it receives your written direction, your answers to its questions, and the account your client wrote, so the work starts from the same facts you read. That handover is an entry in the matter's record.
With a code sent to their email address, and with a passkey on devices where they add one. There are no passwords to reuse or leak.
A document removed before sending is erased. If a client withdraws a matter before you accept it, the documents left on it are erased.
Yes. Every matter can be downloaded, one at a time or all together, at any time, including the record of what happened on it.
Where the law allows, we tell the attorney concerned so they can assert any protection that applies.
