Clava is a legal AI platform for firms in Scotland, England and Wales. It researches, drafts and reviews alongside your lawyers, hands whole tasks to Finch, our AI associate, and keeps track of billable time as the work gets done. Your team’s hours go on judgement and clients, and Clava can run entirely on your own servers or in a private UK cloud.
Request a demoTake on a document-heavy dispute or a full data room with the associates you already have, while Clava and Finch do the first pass on review and drafting.
On a fixed-fee matter, every hour Clava saves is margin the firm keeps.
When a client asks where their documents go, you have a straight answer: to a server on your premises, or to Clava on Civo and models hosted in the UK.
Establish the statutory position on a point of Scots law or the law of England and Wales, with every provision cited.
Produce first drafts of advice notes, engagement letters, board minutes and client updates from the facts of the matter.
Turn pleadings, witness statements and correspondence into a chronology and a list of the issues in dispute.
Review a whole data room against your diligence questions and export the findings, contract by contract, to Excel.
Save the steps your firm follows for recurring work, such as a lease report, so any fee earner can run them the same way.
Record time against the matter as the work is done in Clava, and check the entries before billing.
Finch is Clava’s AI associate. Email it a brief as you would an associate, with the documents attached, and it reads the file, does the work and sends back a first draft for you to review. If anything in the brief is unclear, it asks you first.
Know the case better
than the other side.
Test each allegation against the witness statements, expert reports and correspondence, and find where the evidence conflicts or runs thin. Build the chronology, check limitation under the Limitation Act 1980 or prescription under the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, and draft the pleadings and the advice.
List the emails that contradict the timeline in the other side’s witness statement.
Find what could
move the price.
Run your diligence questions across every contract in the data room and draft the report. Check the disclosure letter against the warranties, mark up the other side’s supply agreement against your standard positions, and check whether the deal needs a mandatory notification under the National Security and Investment Act 2021.
Flag every contract that needs counterparty consent on a change of control.
Check the title
against the deal.
Review the title sheet or official copies against the missives or contract, the searches and the replies to enquiries. Flag the real burdens, servitudes, covenants and easements that affect what your client is buying, and draft the report on title and the letters to the client.
Confirm whether the right of access in the sales particulars is granted in the title.
Keep more of the work
in-house.
Review the NDAs and supplier contracts that arrive from across the business against your standard positions, answer policy questions with the law cited and draft the board paper. Whatever the request, from employment to data protection, your team starts from a first draft and less of it goes to outside counsel.
Check this NDA against our standard positions and mark up anything we wouldn’t accept.
Bring documents and email into a matter from where your firm already keeps them, and delegate to Finch from your inbox.

GmailBy default, Clava runs on our model router, which splits a task between several models and has one challenge the others’ findings before you see them. If your clients need the work kept on your premises, Clava runs one of our specialist legal models there instead.
Default Waiting for a task
The router splits a task into parts and gives each part to a different model. On a contract review, our specialist legal models find and assess the clauses, then a frontier model argues the other side on each one before the report reaches you. Clava and the router run on Civo, a UK cloud provider, and every model the router calls is hosted in the UK.
One of our specialist legal models, running on your own servers or on a server we supply for your office. Clava processes client documents inside your network and never sends them to an outside model.
* On your premises, Clava runs a single specialist legal model rather than the router.
Hosted for you,
in the UK.
We set up and run Clava and the model router on Civo, a UK cloud provider, in an environment dedicated to your firm. We handle updates and monitoring, and your IT team has no hardware to buy or maintain. Every model the router calls is hosted in the UK.
Hosting location, access and retention are agreed before go-live.
Dedicated AI hardware
in your office.
We supply and install an NVIDIA DGX Spark in your office, then set up Clava and one of our specialist legal models on it and connect it to your systems. Every task runs on that machine, and client documents are processed inside your building.
Suited to firms whose clients won’t accept cloud processing.
Use the servers
you already run.
If your firm runs its own server room or data centre, we check whether your hardware can run the model for the number of users you expect. We then install Clava and one of our specialist legal models on your hardware, inside your network.
Your IT team controls access, networking and client files.
Tell us your practice areas and the work that takes your team longest. We’ll show you Clava doing that work, and talk through where it should run for your clients.
