A letter from the founder
To the lawyers who do the best work,
For a hundred years, the best legal work has been done inside a pyramid: a few partners at the top, hundreds of associates beneath them. Most people and most companies never get near it.
That is changing. AI can now read the documents, research the law and draft the first turn in minutes. What it can't do is decide what matters, what to concede, or what to tell a client at midnight before a signing. That was always the job.
Pascal is our experiment in what comes next: an AI lawyer that does the groundwork itself, and calls on the best human lawyers the moment a matter needs judgment.
We want to carry the finest legal expertise from the few to the many. Pascal can't do that alone. If you do exceptional work, whatever the size of your firm, we would like you to be one of the first.
Questions

Yes. Membership is by invitation and there is no fee to join.
How am I paid?
Founding Counsel are paid a fixed monthly fee. Forward Deployed Counsel are paid per matter. On Call Counsel are paid for their time. Fees are agreed with you before any work starts.
What does Pascal share with me?
Only what you need to answer the question or run the matter. Please treat every brief as confidential.
What about conflicts?
You run your own conflict check before you take anything on, and you can decline any request without giving a reason.
Is Pascal a law firm?
No. Pascal is an experimental AI lawyer from Index Law, not a law firm. When you advise, you do so as an independent lawyer, responsible for your own advice and professional obligations.
Do I have to leave my firm?
Not necessarily. Forward Deployed and On Call work may fit alongside your current role, subject to your firm's rules and your professional obligations.
