Mike AI

Legal operations suite

Full-service legal work, organised around what has to move next.

A full-service UK legal operations suite covering matter progress, evidence, source references, reviewer decisions, output locks, firm-owned storage setup and active-user economics.

Move the matter. Show the evidence. Protect the firm.

Corporate and SME diligence

Storage setup

Pressure combines reviewer gates and export locks, so managers see where the firm needs action instead of another static report.

Practice coverage

8 workflows

Covers property, private client, debt recovery, family, corporate, recovery and employment operations without making public real-firm claims.

Ready workflows

4/8

Ready means the route has a controlled workflow model, sources, actions, reviewer gates and export products represented.

Source references

15/32 mapped

Each workflow assumes firm-owned SharePoint or OneDrive references rather than Mike AI storing document bodies.

Controls

44 gates / 30 locks

Every practice-area lane has reviewer controls and locked outputs before external release.

Practice coverage

Enough breadth for a serious regional firm.

The aim is not to expose complexity. Each practice lane answers four daily questions: what is stuck, who owns it, what evidence proves it, and whether the output can safely leave the firm.

Residential conveyancing operations

Firm-owned storage path

Business profile

Ready

Owner: Admin

Firm details, work areas, role model and active-user package are captured before workspace activation.

Firm-owned storage setup

Storage setup

Owner: IT admin

SharePoint or OneDrive selected folders are the preferred source boundary; live tenant consent remains an admin-controlled action.

Source reference import

Ready

Owner: Matter team

Manual source references can be mapped by folder path, status, version and linked blocker without storing raw document bodies.

Private-source AI run

Storage setup

Owner: Admin and reviewer

Firm-specific answers require storage readback, model policy, audit trail, citations and reviewer release evidence.

DMS connectors

Planned

Owner: Product and buyer IT

iManage and NetDocuments remain connector architecture until buyer-approved credentials and revocation evidence exist.

Open storage setup guide

Adoption sequence

A firm can start broad, then prove value lane by lane.

The suite is designed so IT can control the data boundary and teams can still begin with operational source references, actions, review decisions and output history.

01

Set up company and active-seat package

Admin confirms business profile, package, roles, policies and initial practice areas.

02

Map firm-owned source folders

Matter teams reference SharePoint or OneDrive paths and status without uploading client documents into Mike AI by default.

03

Move matters through actions

Evidence requests, chases, assignments, blocker clearance, review decisions and output versions survive refresh through server-backed records.

04

Prove value and broaden workflows

Operations lead reviews ageing, export locks, reviewer load, saved-time value and which practice areas should be activated next.

Buyer questions

Commercially clear, operationally grounded.

Controlled public sample suite for a regional law-firm workspace. No real law-firm approval, endorsement, evaluation or private client data processing is implied.

Does this replace a legal research database?

No. The product is positioned as legal operations and matter execution. Research-content parity remains a blocked claim unless a content partnership or integration is added.

Can a firm use it without sending client documents into Mike AI storage?

Yes. The preferred route is firm-owned SharePoint or OneDrive selected folders, with Mike AI storing source references, workflow state, review decisions, output versions and audit events.

Where is Mike AI strongest today?

Recurring operational workflows: evidence chasing, reviewer gates, export locks, matter readiness, output packs, role queues and concurrent-user commercial packaging.

What still needs proof before stronger competitor claims?

Live Microsoft selected-folder readback, private-source AI over firm files, native Word/Outlook add-ins, DMS connectors and independent assurance certifications.
