How the firm is put together
Where our lawyers come from, what our AI actually does, which markets we cover, and why the fee model needs all three.

Most descriptions of an AI law firm skip the part that matters, which is how the firm itself is assembled. Here is ours.
It is a law firm, not a tool
This is the load bearing distinction. A legal AI product analyses your contract and hands the decision back to you, which means you still need a lawyer to make it. Moritz is a law firm. A licensed attorney reviews the work, negotiates it, and signs off on it, and carries the professional obligations that go with doing so.
That difference shows up in the things you can actually rely on: a named person accountable for the matter, the duty of confidentiality a regulated firm owes you, and advice you can act on rather than a flag you have to interpret.
The lawyers
Our attorneys come from firms including Orrick, Cooley, Fenwick and Goodwin. That background is the point rather than a credential: the work we take on is the work those firms do, and the reason it can be priced differently is not that the lawyers are more junior.
The split
Our AI workflows handle around 80% of a matter. Intake, first drafts, quality assurance, running the document against your playbook and the legal database. The remaining 20% is the part that needs judgment: what to concede, what to hold, what a clause will mean in eighteen months when somebody wants out.
That is what you are paying for, and it is why a $750 contract review is not a contradiction. You are not buying AI output. You are buying elite lawyers for the final 20%, at a price the first 80% makes possible.
The reach
Companies do not stop at a border and neither does the paper they sign. We handle product compliance and contract work across the EU, the US and Australia, so a team does not need a separate relationship in every market it sells into.
The commercial model
Flat fees, quoted before work starts, published as a rate table rather than quoted on request. No retainer, no hourly billing, no invoice that arrives after the close and surprises somebody. Same day turnaround on standard matters.
None of this is possible as a bolt on to an hourly firm, which is why the firm was built from scratch rather than converted. Speaking to Sifted, our cofounder Pamir Ehsas described the ambition plainly: “We’re building the world’s largest global law firm from scratch”.
Where to look next
The five steps show how a matter actually moves through the firm. The rate table is public. Our position on confidentiality, privilege and how client data is handled is set out on the security page, and the coverage of our funding round is collected in Moritz in the news.
