Purpose-built for the legal industry, Syntracts safely delivers precise, accurate contract intelligence without prompting or cloud-based LLMs
Syntracts, the only contract intelligence platform built for full on-premise deployment, announced a multi-year enterprise partnership with an AmLaw 25 firm. Following a six-month pilot and competitive evaluation across multiple vendors, the firm selected Syntracts for its combination of data security, structured intelligence, and scalable performance, representing a major full-scale deployment of on-premise legal AI in the BigLaw sector.
Unlike legal AI tools that rely on third-party APIs, cloud-hosted large language models (LLMs), or brittle prompt engineering, Syntracts takes a fundamentally different approach. Its proprietary, open-source models are trained using synthetic legal data, which is generated from each customer’s own legal documents. This results in highly accurate, structured outputs built for real-world legal workflows, all while keeping sensitive information entirely on-prem.
“You can’t turn a generalist LLM into a legal expert just by prompting,” said Doug Bemis, co-founder of Syntracts and former CTO at Uber AI Labs. “LLMs should be perfect for law, but they haven’t delivered. Legal work demands clarity, consistency, and control—none of which prompting can guarantee. Syntracts is for firms that need trustworthy performance from day one, with models trained on firm-specific synthetic data and deployed fully on-prem to produce structured, database-ready outputs.”

Enterprise Deployment & Performance
Syntracts is designed to cover every practice group at the firm, and is expected to have a phased rollout over the next 24 months.
Syntracts reduces contract profiling time by at least 80%, shrinking multi-hour reviews to under 30 minutes, and, in API-integrated workflows, near zero. Outputs are structured to match firm-defined schemas, requiring no post-processing or human-in-the-loop review.
Compared to prompt-based or cloud-native platforms, Syntracts offers law firms four core advantages:
- Total Privacy: All models run on-prem; no data leaves the client’s systems
- Structured Intelligence: Outputs are formatted for direct integration into legal workflows
- Scale Without Headcount: Automates extraction at scale without prompting or human review
- Custom-Trained for Each Client:Â Synthetic legal data models are built from each firm’s own documents
“Security and performance aren’t trade-offs,” said Christopher Martin, co-founder of Syntracts and legaltech expert. “Prompt-based systems don’t scale—you shouldn’t need more people to make AI work. We built Syntracts to meet the strictest data and compliance standards while delivering real results: structured, high-accuracy outputs based on how lawyers actually read contracts. This multi-year enterprise partnership is a testament to that work, and we’re excited for this first full-scale deployment.”

As further validation of its platform and vision, Syntracts has been selected to join A&O Shearman’s Fuse Incubator, one of the legal industry’s premier innovation programs. Out of hundreds of applicants, Syntracts was one of only two companies selected for its ability to enhance collaboration and impact across A&O Shearman, refining the firm’s privacy-first, on-prem approach while expanding use cases in legal data analytics and GenAI infrastructure.
