Why a Private LLM?

As of 2025, the EdgelexLM family (7B, 54B, and 141B parameter models) is the leading open-source LLM specialized for legal work. It consistently outperforms general-purpose models on legal benchmarks such as LegalBench-Instruct.

EdgeLex deploys these models on-premises inside your firm’s infrastructure under the permissive MIT license — giving you full data sovereignty, no per-token fees, and direct integration with your proprietary knowledge base.

Core capabilities delivered privately:

• Contract Analysis & Review — Identifies clauses, flags risks, and checks compliance against firm playbooks or regulations.
• Document Drafting — Produces accurate first drafts of NDAs, employment agreements, service contracts, pleadings, and memos.
• Legal Research & Case Analysis — Summarizes opinions, extracts holdings, finds precedents, and explains doctrines.
• Information Extraction — Pulls key dates, parties, obligations, and deadlines from complex agreements.
• Regulatory Compliance — Interprets rules across jurisdictions and drafts compliant policies.
• Legal Q&A — Answers complex queries with citations (in instruction-tuned variants).
• Document Classification — Automatically sorts files by type, jurisdiction, and matter for discovery and management.

The 141B model excels at multi-document reasoning and statute interpretation. Domain-specific alignment sharply reduces hallucinations compared to general models.

Result: Your firm gains an AI assistant that matches senior associate accuracy on routine tasks — without ever sending privileged data outside your network.
