Your company works in AI tools now, and legal questions are being asked and answered there without you.Legal questions get answered in AI tools without you. LegalNod puts your legal team inside them. LegalNod puts your legal team, and your outside counsel, inside those tools.
The employee's own account, written privately to legal, with a short brief.
A general counsel asks what you would. Pick a question and the film starts there.
Nobody decided this. It just became how work gets done.
A contract clause, a termination, a customer complaint. The employee asks the AI, gets an answer, and moves on.
None of it was a communication with counsel. If there is a dispute, the other side can ask for it.
Or not at all. By then the email is sent and the decision is made.
A defendant worked through his case with an AI assistant on his own, then gave the results to his lawyers. Judge Rakoff held the chats were neither privileged nor work product.
“…non-privileged communications are not somehow alchemically changed into privileged ones upon being shared with counsel.”
“Had counsel directed Heppner to use Claude, Claude might arguably be said to have functioned in a manner akin to a highly trained professional who may act as a lawyer's agent within the protection of the attorney-client privilege.”
What that does and does not mean: the remark about counsel-directed use was an aside, not a holding, and that case involved an individual, not a company. No court has ruled on this exact arrangement. 25 Cr. 503 (JSR), ECF No. 27, at 7, 8.
Inside counsel and outside counsel, in one place.
Employment, commercial, privacy, IP. Your own lawyers and the outside firms you already use.
The employee's AI asks who fits the question, says who and why, and the employee confirms.
The lead of the legal team sees all of them, whoever they are routed to. Counsel can hand one back to the team.
Three things line up on every request.
Before joining and again on every request: the legal team represents the company, not them personally.
Privilege for in-house counsel covers legal advice, not business advice, and a court makes the final call. LegalNod is structured to support the claim. It does not guarantee it.

Not a pitch. What their AI does today, what a connector (an MCP) adds, the moment it offers to bring legal in, and what "Under the Nod" means.
Clear answers.
You send one link. Each person adds LegalNod to their AI assistant in about two minutes. People on your list are connected at once, and anyone else waits for you to confirm them.
Yes. Invite an outside attorney by email and mark them as outside counsel. They keep their own practice on the same account, and they are free on your plan.
Each attorney lists the areas they handle. The best match is recommended with the reason, and the employee can choose someone else. With no match it comes to the lead of the team.
No. What an employee typed into an AI before bringing legal in is not covered. What they send to the legal team through LegalNod for legal advice, and the advice back, is a communication with counsel. AI work done afterward at counsel's direction is structured to support privilege. That exact arrangement has not been tested in court yet; in United States v. Heppner the judge noted that counsel-directed AI use might arguably fall inside the privilege.
The admin view shows status, people and counts. It does not show what employees wrote or what counsel advised.
Not yet. It is planned for teams that need it. Tell us and we will prioritize it.
Free to set up. Your plan starts when the first request arrives.
