Why legal teams pick LexCore
Start this week, without a sales cycle
Upload a contract on the first day of the trial and get a review and a Word redline back. Pricing is published, so you can see the cost before you speak to anyone.
A finding you can check in one click
CitationGate anchors every finding to exact text in the document under review. A finding it cannot anchor is dropped before a lawyer sees it, and each one that survives opens at its clause.
Sovereign when the cloud is not allowed
The Sovereign tier runs open-weight models on your own infrastructure, so documents never leave your environment. It trades frontier-model quality for that boundary, and we say so up front.
