Most litigation-support shops were built to serve AmLaw 100 defense firms with AmLaw 100 budgets. We were built for the other side — small and mid-size plaintiff-side firms and nonprofit legal organizations doing serious federal work without the deep bench.
Founder & CEO · Seattle, WA
I spent years inside litigation support watching small firms get squeezed: either pay AmLaw rates for help they couldn't afford, or do the discovery work themselves at the cost of trial strategy.
Legal1Up is what I wish had existed then. We use AI to hit volume targets that would be cost-prohibitive at hourly rates — but every deliverable is reviewed by a human before it reaches you. That's how you ship court-ready work without hallucinations.
If your matter is drowning in pages, talk to me directly.
Every AI-generated artifact is reviewed by a human before it ships. We catch fabricated cases, phantom quotes, and misattributed holdings — including in our own drafts.
We quote a fixed bid after a 30-minute scope call — or set a monthly retainer for ongoing access. You know your exposure before we start.
Class-action data analysis, Rule 1006 declarations, civil rights work. The matters AmLaw shops aren't built around.
Legal1Up is a lean operation. Our legal operations team in the US handles project management, QA, and final review. Our offshore associates in Mexico and the Philippines handle execution under direct supervision. AI handles the volume work — document first-pass, citation lookup, draft generation.
We don't have a headcount flex page. The deliverables speak for the team size.
