Company
The legal ontology company for law firms.
Reframe is AI-native legal intelligence for law firms. We turn everything a firm knows into a single legal ontology inside its own cloud, grounded to the source, owned by the firm, and put to work by governed agents. One queryable model of institutional knowledge, built to answer accurately and act with citations.
One System, End to End
What we build, where it runs, how we deliver, and how you own it.
Everything Reframe makes stacks toward one outcome: your institutional knowledge, structured once into a legal ontology, kept inside your own cloud, and turned into infrastructure your teams build on.
The what
The Ontology.
We ingest everything a firm knows and structure it into a dedicated legal ontology: matters, clients, counterparties, documents, clauses, deadlines, and precedent, with the relationships between them. One model of institutional knowledge, grounded to the source and permission aware.

The Secure Enclave.
The ontology runs inside a dedicated, isolated enclave in the firm's own cloud. Data never leaves the boundary. Your keys, your network, access enforced at query time, aligned to SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act, and the ABA Model Rules.
Security overviewHow we deliver
The Process.
We do not hand you a login and wish you luck. We stand up the enclave, map the firm into the Ontology across a structured program, then validate it matter by matter until it reflects how the firm actually works, from the first briefing to production.

The Harness and Center of Excellence.
The Ontology becomes the firm's backend. Through the Harness, your own people compose tools and workflows on the same governed graph, and a Center of Excellence carries the capability forward, so expertise becomes shared infrastructure the next matter inherits.
Explore the HarnessWe build the knowledge layer. The enclave keeps it yours. Your people build on top.
The team
A senior team, AI-native by practice.
Reframe's forward-deployed engineers come from here: a small, senior bench where each person directs a fleet of agents, which is how a team this size builds at the scale of a much larger one.
Our Conviction
Elite firms already hold the most valuable legal knowledge in the world. It just sits scattered across twelve systems, locked in the heads of a few people, and lost the moment a matter closes. The firms that structure it first will compound an advantage the rest cannot copy.
The models are finally good enough, the tooling is finally governable, and the standards are finally clear. What was a research project two years ago is now a production-grade discipline. Activating institutional intelligence is no longer a bet on the future. It is the work at hand. A matter that closes ungraphed takes its knowledge with it, and the firms that understood this early are compounding while the rest deliberate.
Proof
Deployed at firms that cannot afford to guess.
From the first briefing to a live, production-grade Ontology, faster than the firm expects. Each matter that closes enriches the graph the next team inherits.

Start with a briefing.
One conversation is enough to see where your firm's knowledge lives today and what a live Ontology would change. We will walk your team through the platform, the enclave, and the path to production.

We keep it senior and concrete: what your firm knows, where it lives, and what changes when it becomes one governed legal ontology in your own cloud.
