The startup law firm, reinvented around AI.
Every growing company hits the same wall: outside legal that’s too expensive, in-house legal that’s too early, DIY legal that’s too risky, or “legal AI” startups that aren’t really law firms at all.
Paralegals bill $700 an hour. Partners often bill $1,200 to $4,000. Work flows down through layers of associates, each adding to the tab. You pay for every rung of the pyramid. A model built for a world where the only way to handle complexity was to throw more people at it.
Hiring a General Counsel doesn’t make sense yet. And even if it did, a General Counsel alone doesn’t solve it. Paralegals, junior attorneys, outside counsel for specialties, contract management tools. The cost compounds fast, and you’re building an entire department before you’ve proven you need one.
Every one of them explicitly disclaims liability. No one stands behind the output, nothing you put in is protected by attorney-client privilege, and every prompt or document you upload is potentially discoverable in litigation. When it matters, there’s no one to call.
They call themselves law firms, but they’re built like tech companies: funded by outside investors, staffed by junior attorneys churning through volume, and optimized for throughput over judgment. No one learns your business. No one builds a relationship. Your work is routed through a machine that treats legal like a fulfillment center.
Talairis Law Group is different. Our AI agents aren’t off-the-shelf tools. We built them ourselves, drawing on over 25 years of combined legal experience across the full lifecycle of startup work. Every agent reflects how we actually practice law, not how a software company thinks lawyers should work. The result: elite attorneys moving at agentic speed, with deep company context that compounds with every engagement. At a price startups can actually afford.
AI can do the legwork. It can’t pick up the phone, negotiate deals, provide business-minded counsel, or tap decades of world-class legal experience. We can.

Sam and Matt bring over 25 years of elite legal experience spanning Big Law, leading technology companies, and serving as General Counsels at billion-dollar companies. They’ve raised the money, done the deals, and made the calls that startups can’t afford to get wrong. They built Talairis Law Group for one purpose: harnessing AI to provide the best possible legal outcomes to our clients.
From your first contract to your next round, we cover the full legal stack.
AI fluency runs through every engagement we take. The same custom attorney-built AI agents that handle your contracts and compliance are the same agents that make us specialists when AI itself is the legal work: vendor terms, AI features, and AI governance.
No portals. No logins. No new platform from a law firm or an AI legal tool. Slack us, email us, or drop files into your Talairis Data Room: enterprise-grade cloud sync, mounted as a local folder on your computer, powered by AI, and hardwired to your Talairis attorney.
These are not aspirations. They are descriptions of how we work, and what we hold ourselves to on every engagement.
