Your legal agent reads external corpora
and produces binding acts.
Case law, incoming contracts, opposing documents: anything your agent reads can contain a hidden instruction, and what it produces (contracts, signatures, emails) binds your client. We test these chains on your test environment.

Common legaltech vulnerabilities
- Legal documents sitting in publicly accessible buckets
- APIs serving client files without per-matter access control
- User enumeration that reveals a firm's client list
- Attorney-client communications moving unencrypted
- Weak authentication on client portals (no 2FA)
A data leak in legaltech doesn't just make headlines. It kills client trust and puts the firm on the wrong side of disciplinary proceedings.
