Built by lawyers. Run by lawyers.
Most legal AI gives you a tool. Scissero gives you a tool and the lawyers to run it — regulated, accountable, and built specifically for capital markets and corporate law.
Not all legal AI is equal.
Four distinct categories of legal technology available today. Understanding the difference matters — especially when the work is material.
Typical Examples
ChatGPT, general-purpose LLMs
What You Get
Fast answers to almost any question
The Limitation
No legal grounding, no accountability, no audit trail. Confident — and sometimes wrong.
Typical Examples
Suzie Law
What You Get
Customisable AI you can run on your own infrastructure
The Limitation
You own the configuration and the risk. No governance, no certification, no support.
Typical Examples
Dedicated commercial legal AI tools
What You Get
Purpose-built AI for legal workflows. Research, drafting, document review.
The Limitation
Powerful tools — but tools only. No lawyers in the loop. No regulatory accountability. When it gets it wrong, it is your problem.
Typical Examples
Scissero
What You Get
AI platform + regulated lawyers. ISO 27001, ISO 42001 certified. SRA regulated. Built for capital markets and corporate law.
The Limitation
The Scissero StandardA tool is only as good as the person using it.
Legal AI platforms are genuinely impressive. But they are designed to augment a lawyer — not replace the judgement, accountability, and professional responsibility that comes with one. For high-stakes capital markets work, that distinction is not academic. It is the difference between a fast answer and a right one.
Scissero Law Ltd is authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Our lawyers carry professional indemnity insurance and are personally accountable for the advice they give.
Our AI governance is independently certified — one of the first law firms in the world to hold this standard.
M&A, private funds, AML/KYC, compliance — not generic legal AI repurposed for finance. Built for it from day one.
One platform. Two ways to deploy.
Use Scissero's platform with your own lawyers, or let ours run it for you. Either way, lawyers are always in the loop.
Your lawyers run it.
Your in-house legal team operates the Scissero platform directly. They get purpose-built legal AI, trained on the workflows they already know, integrated into how they work today. Same lawyers, dramatically more output.
Best For
Organisations with an established in-house legal team that wants to dramatically increase its capacity and output without growing headcount.

Our lawyers run it for you.
Scissero's in-house lawyers operate the platform on your behalf. You get faster, higher-volume legal work, without needing to build, expand, or retrain your own legal team. We own the output end to end.
Best For
Organisations that want the benefits of Scissero's platform without deploying their own legal team to operate it, or those looking to supplement existing capacity on specific workstreams.

| Built for institutional clients |
To deliver smarter, faster, and more efficient outcomes for our clients by combining deep legal expertise and state-of-the-art technology.
Three principles. No exceptions.
Clients First, Always
Everything we do starts and ends with our clients. We are relentlessly focused on their outcomes — prioritising their needs, acting in their best interests, and holding ourselves accountable to the results we deliver.
Stronger Together
The best outcomes come from collaboration — between lawyers and technology, between teams and clients, across disciplines and borders. Human expertise and AI capability achieve far more together than apart.
Innovation at Our Core
We innovate with purpose. We continuously challenge how legal services are delivered, building smarter systems and finding better ways to serve our clients. Innovation is not a department — it is embedded in everything we do.
Not built for lawyers. Built by them.
See the difference for yourself.
