Where Scissero sits among the options
Legal technology comes in several broad forms, each suited to different needs. Knowing what each one offers matters most when the work carries real weight.
General AI
General-purpose chat assistants
Quick answers on almost any subject
Designed for general use, so checking the output and carrying the risk falls to you.
Open-Source Legal AI
Openly available models and toolkits
Customisable AI you can run on your own infrastructure
You own the configuration and the risk, and governance, certification and support are up to you.
Legal AI Platforms
Dedicated commercial legal AI tools
Software designed around legal tasks such as drafting and document review
Your own lawyers supervise the software and remain answerable for what it produces.
A tool is only as good as the person using it.
What a lawyer brings
Software helps with volume and consistency. Judgement, accountability and professional responsibility are what you rely on when capital markets work carries real consequences. Our platform is built to support that judgement.
Regulated Law Firm
Scissero Law Ltd is authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA No. 8006186), and lawyers stay responsible for the legal work we deliver.
ISO 42001 Certified
The international standard for managing AI responsibly, held alongside ISO 27001 for information security. Client documents, queries and outputs are never used to train AI models.
Five Practice Areas
M&A, capital markets, funds, compliance and anti-trust, for private equity firms and investment and commercial banks.
One platform. Two ways to deploy.
Pick the model that fits
Your own legal team can work in Scissero directly, or our lawyers can take the work on for you as a managed service. The two can also be combined.
Your lawyers run it
In-house deployment
Five products cover drafting, review, data extraction, compliance and KYC, with a Word add-in for the documents your team already works on. When a second view would help, they can send a request to a Scissero lawyer from the platform.
Best For
Organisations with an established in-house legal team that wants to give its people more time and keep their work consistent.
Our lawyers run it for you
Fully managed service
You hand over the work and keep your attention on the decisions that need you. Delivery comes from Scissero Law Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the SRA and stays responsible for the legal work.
Best For
Organisations that need more capacity, either across their legal work or for specific workstreams that call for extra hands.

Three principles we work by.
Clients First, Always
We act in the best interests of the people we work for, listen closely to what they need and hold ourselves to account for what we deliver. Their priorities shape how we plan and carry out the work.
Stronger Together
Good work comes from pooling what we know, across legal and technical teams and with our clients. Human judgement and AI each have a part to play, and we organise the work so they support each other.
Innovation at Our Core
We keep asking how legal work could be done better and test new ideas to find out. When we adopt something new, it is because it helps the people who rely on us.
Our mission.
In one sentence
To give our clients more time, focus and confidence
in their work by bringing together
legal expertise and carefully governed technology.
A different kind of law firm.
Scissero Law Ltd is a law firm, authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. We describe ourselves as an alternative legal service provider because of how we deliver the work: on our own platform, run by your lawyers or by ours. Our regulatory position is the same as that of any other SRA-regulated firm.
Scissero brings the two together. We built our own platform for capital markets and corporate law, and our regulated lawyers use it on client work, or your own team runs it.
For us, it means lawyers designing the tools they work with. Our platform was built by lawyers who knew the workflows from practice, our AI governance is certified to ISO 42001, and a lawyer stays responsible for the legal work we deliver.
Our lawyers do. The legal work is carried out by Scissero Law Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the SRA. The platform itself is provided by Scissero Ltd, a separate group company that does not provide legal services and is not regulated by the SRA.
