Built so lean litigation teams can punch above their weight.
Most litigation-support shops were built to serve AmLaw 100 firms with AmLaw 100 budgets. We were built for lean litigation teams, nonprofits and pro bono programs doing serious federal work without a deep bench.

I spent years inside litigation support watching lean firms get squeezed: either pay AmLaw rates for help they couldn't afford, or do the discovery work themselves at the cost of trial strategy.
Legal1Up is what I wish had existed then. We use AI to handle volume that would cost too much to do by hand. A person checks every deliverable against the sources before it reaches you, and your counsel makes the legal calls.
If your matter is drowning in pages, talk to me directly.
Three things we won't compromise on.
Every source checked.
A person checks every AI-assisted deliverable against the sources before it ships. We catch fabricated cases, phantom quotes, and misattributed holdings, including in our own drafts.
Project-based, or retainer.
We quote each project after a 30-minute scope call, or set a monthly retainer for ongoing work. You know the cost before we start.
Built for lean litigation teams.
Rule 1006 summaries, class and collective action data, whistleblower and civil rights matters. Work with large records that needs care.
Lean, focused, AI-assisted.
Legal1Up is a lean operation. Our team runs each project, does the work, and checks it against the sources before delivery. AI handles the volume work: document first pass, citation lookup, draft generation. Your counsel makes the legal decisions and signs.
We don't have a headcount flex page. The deliverables speak for the team size.
