"Are you even allowed to build this?" That’s the question popping up more and more. As the AI market matures, the legal framework is becoming a core part of the building process. I’m excited to share that The AI Foundry is partnering with Freshfields. They bring deep roots in Silicon Valley and a front-row seat to how global legal standards are shifting for tech companies. With the EU AI Act coming into play, many founders and engineers in our community are hitting the same walls: What’s actually allowed? What should you watch out for now to avoid getting stuck later? Instead of every founder trying to reinvent the legal wheel in isolation, we’re bringing that expertise directly to the floor. Together with Freshfields, we’re going to give our builders the practical guardrails they need to stay focused on what matters: building. Looking forward to the collaboration! Saloua Ouchan, Iris Vlastuin and Caroline Leopold Stay tuned, we’ll be sharing the first session dates soon. 🚀

A VC colleague recently flagged something that needs to be said out loud: large law firms are charging first-time founders $50,000+ for SAFE financings. This is outrageous. Y Combinator invented the SAFE structure and gives the documents away for free at ycombinator.com/documents. It's become the industry standard. Everyone uses it. If you're a law firm billing $50K for a routine, templated transaction — you deserve to be (and will be) replaced by AI. And founders (even first time): if you're paying this, you're close to breaching your fiduciary duty to your own investors. Cheaper alternatives are everywhere. Do the work to find them. The legal industry's opacity around pricing has gone on long enough and AI will now force a reckoning. #startups #founders #venturecapital #SAFE #fundraising #startupadvice #entrepreneurship

Pt 2: Building Legal from scratch with NO BUDGET for LegalOps? Ask Engineering or Ops how they manage their workflows - and COPY 😺. Engineering/Operations push multiple deliverables each week, have multiple stakeholders with multiple requirements and have multiple competing deadlines. Do you need a better "precedent"? 😏 Across various businesses, I have copied the way engineering/operations teams manage workflows using tools like Asana, Notion and Jira. They all basically "do the job" for managing legal workflows because: 🙊 They centralise all internal correspondence about a legal matter onto one task ticket. Get off siloed inboxes and Slack DMs - you need to start building team resilience, where anyone can pick up where you've left off. Centralised correspondence is also important for creating accountability; everyone can see where the hold up is. 🙈 They provide the ability to view tasks on a kanban board - a super easy snapshot of where things are sitting. 🙉 They provide some reporting (probably not all the reporting you need without upgrading to premium packages, but enough to show where contracts are stuck in the pipeline). ...and you won't need to make a case for budget... ...but the biggest win here is that by using “their” tools, you immediately start speaking their language, you’re one of “them”, focussed on delivery and the same business objectives 🚀 . Yes, this isn't perfect and I'm aware there are a host of full end-to-end legal management tools. But if you're in a fast-paced environment (where if growth goes as well as you expect, you'll likely need to overhaul processes in 6 months anyway!) start here as your core, and you'll be amazed with what you can start to add on 💡. Also - if you’re unsure how to use these tools, I’m sure you can use those law school negotiation skills to convince someone in the business to create this for you 😉. In the past I’ve traded free divorce advice, a game of Connect 4 and even sat through a software engineer demo-ing their latest 8-sided Rubik’s cube, to land a ready-made legal workflow board, complete with reporting dashboards and an integration to Hubspot 🥳 .

Exciting News: Two Strategic Powerhouses Join LexIntel - Cliff Rosen of Ironcliff Partners and Adam Seifer. We're building something extraordinary, and today marks a pivotal moment in that journey with experts Cliff Rosen and Adam Seifer taking us further: Cliff and Ironcliff Partners have developed a proprietary AI orchestration system that solves the reliability challenges critical to AI-first products, giving LexIntel a competitive advantage that's fundamentally difficult to match. Cliff's methodology systematically addresses LLM limitations—hallucinations, limited context, knowledge gaps—by decomposing complex workflows into validated, deterministic pathways. This structured approach transforms unpredictable AI into the consistent, trustworthy results that legal professionals demand and which LexIntel delivers. Adam Seifer joins us with an impressive track record as a tech entrepreneur, co-founder, CEO, and Product Officer. Adam has successfully built, scaled, and exited multiple technology companies, bringing invaluable experience in moving startups from concept to market leader. His expertise in product development and go-to-market strategy will be instrumental as we accelerate LexIntel's growth and market penetration. Together, Cliff and Adam bring the perfect combination of cutting-edge AI innovation and proven scaling expertise. We couldn't be more excited about what this means for LexIntel and our clients. Welcome aboard, Cliff and Adam! 🚀 hashtag #LegalTech hashtag #AI hashtag #ArtificialIntelligence hashtag #Innovation hashtag #TeamGrowth hashtag #LexIntel
