The connected workflow

From legal question to client invoice, without losing the thread.

Most firms use separate tools for research, matter files, time, and billing. Writford keeps every step connected to the same record.

Step 01

Legal research

AI retrieves UK statutes and case law, drafts a cited answer, and awaits solicitor review before reliance.

  • UK statutes & case law
  • Paragraph-level citations
  • Solicitor review gate
  • Answer saved to matter

Client matter

02

Time recorded

Client invoice

Everything in one workspace

Research. Manage. Bill. Connected.

Writford is built around the way legal work actually moves through a firm: from legal question, to client matter, to recorded time, to invoice.

Writford retrieves relevant UK legal sources, prepares a solicitor-reviewable answer, and keeps the authority visible. The answer can then be saved directly to the matter record with its sources intact.

  • UK legal source retrieval
  • Paragraph-level citations
  • Solicitor review before reliance
  • Research saved to matter
  • Extended Thinking for complex issues

Risk & Compliance

AI Conflict Check, before the work begins.

The moment you open a matter, Writford screens both the client and the opposing party against every party your firm has ever acted for or against. A conflict you could never hold in memory is surfaced before you act on the instruction.

DefinitePotentialNone

Screened across the whole firm

Both parties are checked against every client, former client and opponent your firm has ever recorded, across all matters and every fee-earner. Not just your own files.

Catches the matches people miss

Ltd or Limited, ampersands, abbreviations, typos, initials, and pasted accented names like Zenith and Zénith. Sound-alike names such as Catherine and Katherine are matched phonetically, with company numbers and emails checked too.

AI confirms, a solicitor decides

Amazon Nova reviews the borderline name matches and confirms whether two similar names are the same legal entity. It can strengthen a finding but never clears one. The judgement stays with a qualified solicitor.

Graded so you can triage

Every result is graded Definite, Potential or None, and each finding names who in the firm holds the conflicting record, so you know exactly who to speak to.

A warning you cannot miss

Screening runs automatically the moment a matter is created, and a persistent banner stays on every screen until a solicitor records a decision on the conflict.

Every decision on the record

Mark a match as not a conflict, record an own-interest conflict the firm cannot act on, or act for conflicting clients under an exception. For an exception it records which one you relied on, where the written consent is held, the safeguards, and the reviewer's reasoning, with who and when.

Screening runs automatically, and your firm's files are never used to train AI models.

Security & Governance

Designed for solicitor-grade control.

Writford is built for sensitive legal work, where confidentiality, review, access control and auditability matter.

Your files are stored in the UK

Encrypted storage, controlled matter access and clear privacy terms protect your firm's content. Client material is never used to train AI models.

A solicitor signs off, not the AI

Answers arrive source-linked and wait for review. The AI can put a finding in front of you; it can never clear one.

Never used to train a model

Client files, prompts and answers are not training data. Your firm's material stays your firm's material.

Access that matches the role

A fee earner sees their own matters. A cashier sees every matter and can change none. Set once, applied everywhere.

What is Writford?
Writford is an AI legal workspace for UK solicitors and small law firms. It combines AI legal research from live UK sources, such as legislation.gov.uk and SRA guidance, with matter management, time recording, templates, email and billing in one workspace. AI is included on every plan.
Is Writford built for UK law?
Yes. Writford is built specifically for UK legal work. Researched answers draw on live sources such as legislation.gov.uk and SRA guidance, and link back to the sources they cite.
Can I rely on the AI output?
Writford is designed for solicitor review, not automatic reliance. Answers are source-linked so you can check the authority before using the output.
What happens to client data?
Client documents and matter content are handled as confidential workspace data and are not used to train AI models.
Is this just another chatbot?
No. Writford connects research with matters, files, email, time, templates and billing, so useful work stays attached to the client record.
Can my team use it together?
Yes. Writford is built around a firm workspace, with multiple users, shared usage, shared storage and firm-level controls.
Can it help with billing?
Yes. Time can be captured while work happens, reviewed as WIP and moved into billing from the matter record.
How much does Writford cost?
Every plan includes the full AI and is sold on an annual, 3-year or 5-year term, with a bigger discount on longer terms. The 1 and 3-year terms auto-renew; the 5-year term is a one-time prepaid purchase. There is a 14-day free trial with no card to start. See the pricing page for current per-seat prices. See pricing →
