Priivacy for Legal & Professional Services
Your product is confidentiality. The data you hold proves it — or breaks it.
Privileged client communications. M&A diligence binders. Working papers. Witness statements. Discovery production. Every law firm and accounting practice we walk into has years of this material spread across mailboxes, SharePoint sites, document management exports, and the laptops of partners who've since retired. A single misplaced file ends a 30-year client relationship.
Priivacy finds every piece of sensitive and privileged content in your firm, maps who has access, and gives your team the controls to clean it up. $12,000 for a 60-day license. Full platform. Done on your infrastructure.
Built by the Umlaut Solutions team — ten years of data governance work for regulated firms, including the major data programs that came out of Australia's Hayne Royal Commission. ISO 27001 certified.
Data governance and privacy remediation across regulated industries.
Senior team with deep experience on Australia's Hayne Royal Commission — the equivalent rigour of a US Senate investigation.
Delivered across four jurisdictions with the same engine, the same playbook, and the same reporting standard.
For firms whose entire value proposition is keeping client data confidential.
Law firms
Boutique, mid-tier, and full-service practices.
In-house counsel teams
Corporate legal departments at regulated firms.
Accounting and audit firms
Big-4-adjacent, mid-tier, and boutique practices with audit, tax, and advisory teams.
Insolvency and forensic accounting
Practices handling high-volume document discovery.
M&A advisory
Deal advisors holding diligence material across multiple transactions.
What's common across every firm here: your work product is your client's most sensitive material, you're legally and ethically obligated to keep it that way, and the systems you actually store it in were chosen before "data sprawl" was a thing anyone worried about.
The material you definitely have, even if you've never been asked.
Privileged communications
Email chains marked "Privileged & Confidential," draft advice memos, internal strategy threads.
Client matter files
Engagement letters, file notes, draft documents, correspondence stored on shared sites.
M&A diligence binders
Virtual Data Room exports, target company financials, sensitive personnel data from acquisitions.
Witness statements and discovery
Production sets from prior matters, deposition transcripts, document review work product.
Working papers
Audit working papers, tax planning documents, valuation models, all containing client-confidential data.
Departed partner archives
Mailboxes and OneDrives of partners who've retired or moved on, still holding active and historical matter content.
Priivacy classifies privileged content explicitly (the document classifier recognises "Privileged and Confidential" headers, engagement letter formats, working paper templates) so findings respect the work-product line. Findings are remediated inside your environment — no privileged material is sent to an external AI service for classification.
Built for the obligations that matter to a legal practice.

The legal industry's three converging pressures.
Cyber attacks targeting law firms
Law firms have become a top-three target for ransomware groups in 2024–2025. Threat actors specifically target M&A files, sensitive client matters, and discovery production sets for double-extortion. A single high-profile breach has ended boutique firms. Cyber insurance underwriters are scrutinising data governance with the same rigour they apply to financial services.
AI in legal workflows
Every law firm and accounting practice is piloting Copilot, Harvey, Legora, or in-house AI tools. Each one is only as safe as the data it can read. If your AI assistant has access to a shared folder containing privileged M&A diligence material, you've created a privilege risk you didn't have before — and it's not waived by accident in a way the courts will forgive.
DSAR and disclosure obligations are growing
Subject access requests from former clients, opposing parties, and regulators are running 30–50% higher than five years ago across legal practices. Each one creates a 30-day clock you can't meet without a defensible data map of what your firm holds about that person.
Transparent pricing. Legal-ready from day one.
