Governance Infrastructure  ·  Est. 2026

If you cannot produce it, it does not exist.

Your firm is using AI. Nobody is governing it.

REACH LAW is the governance layer that sits above every AI tool, CRM, and marketing system inside a regulated UK law firm. It does not compete with Harvey, Legora, or Clio. It governs them.

Five-minute diagnostic. Personal liability report. No obligation.

The Structural Problem

Governance culture is not governance infrastructure.

Training courses, competency frameworks, and AI policies are governance culture. They matter. But they are not what regulators inspect.

What You Have

Culture tells them what you intended.

Policies, training records, and good intentions describe the firm you meant to run. Under inspection, intention is not evidence. City firms describe an AI governance culture. Almost none can produce the auditable proof behind it.

What They Inspect

Infrastructure proves what you did.

Auditable logs. Timestamped decisions. A named human accountable for every AI-enabled action that left the firm. The COLP who cannot produce that within 24 hours of an SRA request is the most exposed person in the building.

"The gap is not between firms that use AI and firms that do not. It is between firms that can prove their governance and firms that cannot."

The REACH LAW founding team
The Regulatory Exposure Level

Where does your firm sit today?

Five levels. One question.

Every firm sits somewhere on the exposure ladder. Most COLPs believe they are higher than they are, because culture feels like control. The diagnostic scores you against evidence, not intention.

Move through the levels to see what each one means when the request for evidence actually arrives.

Level 1

Indefensible

Ungoverned AI in daily use. No registry, no logs, no named accountability. An inspection request cannot be answered. The COLP carries the full exposure personally.

Compliance · Field Note

When the regulator asks, can we produce it?

Not the policy. The evidence. This is what governed compliance looks like when it has to be produced on demand.

Definition

What REACH LAW actually is.

It is not

  • a tool
  • a platform
  • a software application
  • a compliance guarantee
  • an AI that decides for you

It is

Human-led governance infrastructure. The accountability layer that sits above your entire AI ecosystem and makes every action within it auditable, defensible, and evidenced. REACH LAW does not decide what is compliant. It proves how compliance decisions were made.

The Competitive Gap · Deep Dive

They each govern a room. We govern the building.

Harvey, Legora, Clio and the rest each govern their own output. Not one governs the cross-platform AI ecosystem, BD and marketing, or the production of evidence for a regulator. REACH LAW is the layer that sits above them all.

The AI Ecosystem

Keep every tool you use. Close the gap around them.

REACH LAW is not a replacement for any of these. Every one becomes a governed node: catalogued, risk-rated, and attributed to a named human. Keep using them. Close the exposure gap they leave behind.

Six Core Regulatory Authorities · Simultaneously Active

One infrastructure. Every authority.

Your current tools address one regulator at best. REACH LAW governs across all six core authorities and the statutory frameworks beneath them.

SRA

Principles 1–7, Code of Conduct, Regulation 19 COLP accountability, AML supervision.

ICO

UK GDPR, PECR, the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, AI data-processing obligations.

FCA

Consumer Duty, SM&CR, and the AML supervision transition now in active legislation.

ASA / CAP

AI-generated marketing content. Three law-firm enforcement actions in September 2025.

OFSI

Sanctions screening obligations against the daily consolidated list, at matter level.

CMA

Consumer standards, price transparency, obligations on AI-generated claims.

Plus statutory frameworks: MLR 2017 · UK GDPR / DPA 2018 · ECCTA 2023 · SRA Accounts Rules 2019 · Data (Use and Access) Act 2025

Managing Partner · Field Note

Who answers for the firm when the AI is wrong?

One enforcement action, one court criticism, one client complaint over an AI-generated output. The reputational exposure belongs to the firm. This is what governed growth sounds like from the corner office.

DOCKET · PARTNER PERSPECTIVEREF RL-MP-02
The firm’s reputation is a commercial asset.  Governed growth, not ungoverned risk.
Who This Is Built For

You are not buying software. You are making your accountability provable.

The infrastructure flags and alerts.
A named human always decides.

The infrastructure serves human authority and never overrides it. The COLP is the sovereign decision-maker. The SRA holds humans accountable, not infrastructure.

"Final call's yours. The SRA holds humans accountable."Nova · REACH LAW Intelligence Layer
The Commercial Journey

From exposure to governed infrastructure.

Every deployment begins with your firm's own data. No presumptions. No estimates. Your diagnostic answers build your deployment specification.

Infrastructure Pricing

Priced as infrastructure. Never per seat.

A one-time deployment and a monthly governance retainer. No per-user charges. No metering. Your entire firm is governed for a cost that reflects the scale of your AI ecosystem, not the number of lawyers on your payroll. The tier your firm requires is determined by your diagnostic, not by a sales conversation.

Tier 1 · Foundation
960 events / day

One GX10 unit. Full governance coverage. All six core authorities.

Tier 2 · Governed
1,920 events / day

Two GX10 units. 30-second exit-gate latency.

Tier 4 · Bespoke
5,760 events / day
