Relaw is a single-pane operating system for law firms. Public intake, conflict review, a branded client portal, secure messaging and signatures, documents from the firm's own Word and PDF templates, meetings, pipelines, automations, relationship communications, and AI Studio all work from the same connected client record.

Do I still have to live in email and calendar?

No. Gmail and Outlook work inside Relaw alongside the firm's own secure client messaging. The calendar workspace connects Google or Outlook calendars, lets the team create and update meetings, and keeps each meeting record on the client file.

How is this different from Harvey or Legora?

Harvey and Legora are AI assistants for legal work. They help research and draft, and they still need the rest of the stack around them. Relaw is the operating system: intake, documents, meetings, email, calendar, and follow-through on the same matter, with AI that already has that context. Tabular review, live collaboration, agents, a client portal, and multi-jurisdiction research run there too. You are not buying a chat window to sit beside five other tools.

What AI models does Relaw use?

Relaw builds custom scaffolding on top of all major state-of-the-art models. The model is chosen for the task, based on the performance the work needs, so research, drafting, intake, and follow-through each run on what does that job best.

Do I have to replace my current drafting software?

No. Relaw generates from your own Word and PDF templates. Specialist systems such as Clio or a drafting library can stay connected underneath. What changes is the daily pane: you run the matter in Relaw instead of hopping between inbox, calendar, and five other apps.

Which practice areas does Relaw support?

Relaw is one workspace for every practice the firm runs. Intake, documents, meetings, and automations live on the same file, whether the matter is estate, injury, business, or something else. You are not buying a separate product per area.

A branded portal under your firm's name, not Relaw. Clients continue questionnaires, exchange secure messages, access only the files you choose, and sign through a secure link. The firm can track signing status and retain the completed PDF with the client record.

How does the AI Notetaker work?

Connect Google or Outlook, or upload an audio file. Turn Notetaker on for a video call (Zoom, Meet, Teams), a phone call, or an in-person meeting. Relaw records, transcribes, and writes the meeting record onto the client file. You can set instructions per meeting type.

How it works

One record,inquiry to signature.

Five stages. One matter gaining context at every step. Nothing gets handed off, re-entered, or lost between systems.

Intake
01
An inquiry becomes a matter.
Branching questions, voice, and uploads turn the client's first telling into structured facts, named people, and recorded consent.
Work removed
No second telling at the first meeting
Client service
02
Every exchange builds its record.
Messages, requests, shared files, and signatures add to the same matter – not another inbox or portal.
Work removed
No searching for the latest version
Legal work
03
That record becomes the first draft.
Approved facts flow into your templates, while your clauses and blueprints govern everything AI produces.
Work removed
No retyping facts into templates
Meetings
04
Every conversation moves it forward.
Video, phone, and in-room conversations return as decisions, responsibilities, and an updated matter.
Work removed
No evening write-up
Follow-through
05
It keeps moving through signature.
A deadline, stage change, or silence can prepare the work and hold it for approval before anyone has to chase it.
Work removed
No reminder living in someone's head

In practice

Client relationships / not clerical work

Relaw's intuitive system has streamlined my workflow. It saves time, reduces errors, and allows me to focus on what matters most: building meaningful relationships with my clients.

Stage 01 · Intake

Clients arrivealready onboarded.

By the time the file reaches your desk, the facts are structured, every person is named, conflicts are checked, and consent is on the record – because the client did it while the story was fresh.

From first telling to firm-ready record

Structured without flattening the client's story

Start from anywhere.

A public link works from your website, an email, a text, a seminar, or a QR code – without an account.

Tell the story once.

Branching questions collect exact answers. Voice or text gives clients room to tell the full story.

03Firm-authored review

Improve before submit

The form asks again while the client is still there.

Relaw checks visible answers against criteria your firm wrote, then asks the client to resolve what is incomplete or unclear.
