Common questions

External counsel contracting, answered

What legal ops and general counsel ask before rolling Genie out.

How does Genie help manage outside counsel?

By reducing what needs to go out. Once legal has recorded its standard positions, routine review runs in-house against the playbook, and outside counsel is instructed on the genuinely novel or high-value work.

Firefish, a market research agency of 50 to 100 people with its own in-house legal function, cut contract review time by more than 50% and now handles the same volume with half the legal availability.

How does Genie handle engagement letters and counsel guidelines?

Genie drafts and reviews engagement letters, outside counsel guidelines and fee arrangements against the positions your legal function has recorded, and marks where a firm has departed from them.

That makes panel terms consistent rather than negotiated firm by firm.

Who decides which work stays in-house?

Your legal function does, and the playbook is where that boundary becomes explicit: the positions the business can apply itself, and the questions that warrant external advice.

Genie applies the boundary rather than setting it.

Does Genie work inside Microsoft Word?

Yes. Genie works directly in Microsoft Word, so you review and redline in the document your counterparty actually sent, rather than moving it into another system and breaking your review trail.

DocuSign and Adobe Sign integrations are in development.

Can Genie draft counsel guidelines from our own standards?

Yes. Genie drafts from your own positions rather than a fixed form, so engagement letters and outside counsel guidelines reflect the terms your organization requires of its panel.

Current-law accuracy extends across more than 150 jurisdictions.

What happens when a counterparty's redline falls outside our playbook?

Genie flags the deviation instead of accepting it. The change is identified against the specific position it breaches, so whoever reads it can see what was altered, why it matters, and whether it needs a decision from legal.

Escalation is the feature rather than the failure. It is how legal stays in control of the standard while everything inside the standard keeps moving.

Is our contract data used to train AI models?

No. Documents you generate or upload stay in your tenant, are not used to train models, and confidential material is not shared with third-party LLMs.

GenieAI is ISO 27001 certified and operates under GDPR.

How does Genie affect external legal spend?

The mechanism is volume rather than rates: routine review that previously went out can be handled against your own playbook, so instructions go out on the work that genuinely needs them.

Firefish handles the same contract volume with half the legal availability after cutting review time by more than 50%.
