Compliance & Security
Compliance above all else.
AnteLabs integrates only AI and infrastructure tools that meet the security and compliance standards required by ABA Model Rules, state bar guidance, and your client confidentiality obligations.
Certified & compliant
AnteLabs integrates only AI and infrastructure tools that meet these standards.
SOC 2 Type II
The audited operational security standard expected of any vendor processing law firm data.
HIPAA (via BAA)
Available via Business Associate Agreement on tools used in engagements involving protected health information — PI, mass torts, product liability.
No model training. No data retention.
Your data is processed, returned to us, and stored nowhere. No use of your data for AI model training or improvement.
Encryption end to end
Encryption in transit and at rest, meeting the “reasonable security” requirements under ABA Op. 512 and state bar guidance.
Built around your obligations
ABA Model Rules alignment
Every integration we recommend is designed against Rules 1.1 (technological competence), 1.6 (confidentiality), and 5.3 (supervision of non-lawyer assistance) — and ABA Formal Opinion 512.
State bar guidance, applied to the stricter standard
We track ethics opinions from state bar associations on AI use across the jurisdictions where we operate — and apply the most restrictive standard across your engagement.
Privilege boundary respected
We work with operational artifacts — workflow patterns, billing data, intake processes, tech stack — not with privileged communications. The engagement letter codifies this and the Kovel doctrine limitations explicitly.
Engagement letter codified
Confidentiality, authority to share, privilege acknowledgment, mutual indemnification — all in writing before any data flows.
How we handle your data
No model training. No data retention.
Your data is processed by enterprise-tier AI APIs and returned to us. It is not used to train or improve AI models. It is not logged for vendor purposes. It is not stored after processing completes. Configured on every integration.
Encrypted in transit, encrypted at rest
All data shared during the engagement moves through encrypted channels. Stored at rest with modern encryption standards. Full-disk encryption on every working device.
Scoped, revocable, auditable access
Minimum access required for the engagement — read-only by default. Audit trail on every action. Revocable in one click without affecting anyone else at your firm.
Enterprise tier across the stack
Every AI service, file-sharing tool, and communication channel we use is the enterprise or business tier with the contractual data protection terms legal work requires.
Subprocessors disclosed and tracked
Supporting tools and subprocessors are listed in our engagement letter. We notify the Firm in writing if we add or change a subprocessor during the engagement.
Return or destroy at end
All Firm-specific data we hold is returned to you or destroyed within 30 days of engagement conclusion, with written documentation.
Your data. Your decisions.
You stay in control at all times.
Revocable access
Cut any system access in one click without affecting your team.
Scope you define
You decide what we observe, access, or integrate at every step.
