01What attorney-client privilege requires
Privilege is a posture, not a label.
The privileged relationship has to survive the technology that supports it. Cardinal scopes engagements so the development partner, the deployment infrastructure, and the AI integrations all sit inside the privileged scope.
The privileged relationship has to survive the technology. That means the development partner, the deployment infrastructure, the AI model calls, and the document handling are all scoped so that privilege isn't pierced by the tools themselves. Cardinal scopes engagements so the work product, communications, and source material stay inside the privileged scope from the first commit.
PII handling is where most legal platforms accumulate risk. Personally identifiable information in case files, deposition transcripts, and discovery documents has to be isolated before it touches any system that wasn't built for it. Cardinal's Redactor tokenises PII before any AI processing happens, so the privileged content never leaves the privileged environment unredacted.
02Production work
Two legal systems in privileged production.
Redator
LegalLegal document management platform for handling confidential files, extracting PII, and redacting sensitive information from legal materials. Client-built legal product, distinct from Cardinal's internal Redactor tool.

05Questions
The questions legal-tech buyers actually ask.
Can you work under attorney-client privilege?
Yes. Cardinal has shipped production legal technology for plaintiff-side firms with strict privilege requirements. The engagement is scoped so that the development relationship itself preserves privilege: work product, communications, and document handling all sit inside the privileged scope.
How do you handle PII in legal documents?
Cardinal's Redactor tool detects and tokenises personally identifiable information before any document touches an external system or LLM. Used today in Redactor, our production legal PII-redaction platform. Wired into every legal engagement that includes AI processing of confidential documents.
What kinds of legal platforms do you build?
Case discovery and management systems, plaintiff-side intake and qualification workflows, document automation, e-discovery preparation tools, and AI-assisted document review under privilege. Lawtime (case discovery and management) and Redactor (PII redaction) are two production examples.
How long does a legal tech build take?
Flagship Build: 2 to 5 weeks depending on scope and compliance posture. Written quote inside two business days. Flat fee, no hourly billing. Mutual NDA countersigned the same day you ask.
