Services · Smallest door first
Everything we do for the legal profession, in the order you should buy it.
From a two-minute audit to a full rebuild of how a practice prices, takes in and delivers work. Every service below runs the same doctrine: name it, systematise it, then automate it. They differ only in how much you hand over at once.
Start where the risk is smallest. Most organisations that end up at a transformation arrived through a map or a single system.

What we are
A technology studio. We build systems, applications and AI agents for legal organisations.
What we are not
We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal services. No legal advice, no drafting for clients, no representation. Our founder trained and practised as a lawyer, which is why the systems are built by people who understand obligations, evidence, deadlines and consequence. That is the reason the work holds up. It is not the work itself.

Products live in market
MatterOS and LexOS, both bootstrapped, both standing on their own. Founded by Raghav R Handa, who practised law in India, the UAE and Singapore, grew a legal technology company to more than a hundred thousand lawyers, and has spent nine years building systems for people who cannot afford the process to fail.
The doctrine underneath everything
Law never named its primitives.
Accounting found the debit, the credit, the ledger and the double entry. Software found the function, the repository, the commit and the deployment. Ask a lawyer what a practice is made of and you get a list of things: clients, cases, documents, deadlines, fees. All true, none structural.
That mattered less when the constraint on the work was judgement, and judgement lived in people. It stops being survivable once machines can execute a meaningful share of the work, because machines cannot execute what has never been named.
The sequence is fixed. Name it, systematise it, then automate it. Most organisations run it backwards, buying automation for a practice they have never systematised, built on primitives they have never named, then blaming the tools when it fails.
Matter
One case or file, one place, one state a competent stranger can read in ten minutes.
Actions
The named, repeatable steps that move a matter from opened to resolved. An externalised playbook, not private expertise.
Time
Deadlines that surface themselves, and durations measured so pricing becomes arithmetic rather than a guess dressed as judgement.
Team
Every action has an explicit doer, reviewer and decider. Human or machine.
Evidence
No claim enters a work product without an anchor to its source.
Research
A compounding stock of institutional knowledge, not memos that die in a folder.

01
The AI Readiness Audit
Twelve questions. Two minutes. Free.
Score your organisation against the four stages of maturity - manual, assisted, augmented and AI-native - with a breakdown per primitive and a recommended next step.
It also tells you which track applies, AI-Native Transformation or AI Adoption, so you are not sold the wrong one.
No obligation, no call, no email gate before the score.
02
The Primitive Map
Two weeks. You own the map either way.
Read-only access to your case system, drive, calendar and billing. Five closed matters read cover to cover. One working session with whoever actually runs the work.
You get back a written map of your six primitives, in your own language, with the gaps circled in red. Then an honest answer on which track applies and what it would take, with a scoped cost.
No prescriptions attached. Some organisations take the map, do the naming work themselves and never come back. That is a legitimate use of it.
If you commission any further work within sixty days, the fee comes off it.
Best if
You know something is wrong and cannot name it, or you have been quoted for legal software and cannot tell whether the quote makes sense.
03
The Intake Site
The front door of the practice, built as an intake system.
Most law firm websites are marketing nobody reads. This is the other kind. It qualifies the lead, conflict-checks it, routes it, and hands it to the right lawyer with the context already attached.
Two builds
Starter, $2,500
Multi-page site with a dedicated page per practice area, so each kind of client finds the door built for them. An intake flow that qualifies against your own criteria and lands work in the right queue. Structured data and search fundamentals. Typography and language that read like the counsel you are, not a template with your logo on it. Deployed and live.
Full, $5,000
Everything in Starter, plus a client portal showing matter status, documents and next steps, which turns “any update?” calls into trust per matter. An insights and guides engine built for search engines and the AI assistants that now answer clients' first questions. Wiring into your case management, calendar and CRM from day one, so nothing is re-keyed.
Best if
Your site is currently a brochure, you live on inbound work, or every enquiry is typed into your system by hand.
04
One System
The machinery behind the practice, built properly.
Behind every practice sits the unglamorous part. Obligations, statutory calendars, renewals, filings, receivables, evidence registers, chronologies, handoffs. It is where the time actually goes, and it is almost always held together by a spreadsheet and one person's memory.
The sequence: audit, build, install, measure. Software nobody uses is a cost. We install it into the working day of real people until it is the path of least resistance. If the numbers do not move, the build is not finished.
Pick the system
Compliance management
Obligation registers, statutory calendars, evidence trails and owner-level accountability that survive an audit.
Matter & case management
Intake, structure, tasking, hearings, documents and supervision. The core discipline of everything we build.
IP portfolio
Registers, prosecution stages, renewal windows, oppositions, licensing and chain of title in one live view.
Tax & filings
Filing calendars, document collection, reconciliations and approval chains built around who actually signs.
Receivables & billing
Time capture through invoice through collection, with ageing bands, escalation ladders and chase sequences that run themselves.
Litigation & evidence
Evidence registers, chronology builders, exhibit tracking and discovery logs, built for the rigour litigation demands.
Estates & succession
Asset schedules, beneficiary structures, consents and instrument versions, with strict access control and a defensible audit trail.
Trackers & workflows
Approvals, handoffs, escalations, reporting. The connective tissue where most of the time is lost.
Every build includes
- ·A four-level role hierarchy plus a per-user access matrix merged over role defaults
- ·Privileged actions checked server side and logged
- ·Bulk import that maps your existing columns
- ·A dashboard that answers the question you keep asking
05
Agent Pack
Up to five agents wired inside the system, not sitting beside it.
A chat window does not know your client's name. An agent wired into the matter does. That difference is the whole point.
Choose from: intake, document extraction, drafting, review and summarisation, research, time capture, invoice preparation, client status updates, and knowledge capture on matter close.
Engineering that comes as standard
Typed output
Rejected on parse failure, so a bad response never reaches your data.
Retry, then dead letter
A transient failure does not become a lost record.
Human review gate
Below the confidence floor, a person decides, not the model.
Per-tenant isolation
Server-side keys, nothing sensitive in the browser.
Credit budgets
A ceiling per tenant so costs cannot run away.
Full audit log
Every run traceable, every action attributable.
The evidence rule is enforced in code. No assertion enters a work product without an anchor to its source. Fabrication becomes impossible to ship rather than merely discouraged.
Best if
You already have a system and you want it to start doing the work rather than just holding it.
The full engagement
06
AI-Native Transformation
A full rebuild, for a practice with no legacy structure to protect.
The deepest engagement we run. Most practices arrive here through a map or a system build, not before.
We do not retrofit. We name the steps your work actually runs on, systematise them into templates, playbooks and role charts, then deploy agents on the actions we named. In that order, without exception. Working artefacts inside the practice from week two.
What the engagement installs
Structural audit & primitive map
A written map of your Matter, Actions, Time, Team, Evidence and Research, in your language, with the gaps circled.
Matter template & action library
One place and one state per matter, plus the named repeatable moves that carry it from opened to resolved.
Fixed-fee pricing model
Durations measured on real matters, so pricing becomes arithmetic on data.
Agents in production
Intake, drafting and research agents deployed against named actions, inside explicit roles, with the evidence rule enforced.
The operating stack that fits
MatterOS, LexOS, a custom build, or the market software that fits best. We install the model. You own it.
Handover, not dependency
The engagement ends with your practice running the model, not with us running it forever.
Built for
- ·Solo practitioners and independent lawyers
- ·Small and newer firms with real matters moving
- ·Teams ready to stop selling hours
07
AI Adoption
The same six primitives, installed inside a structure that already exists.
A larger or heavily regulated firm cannot go fully AI-native on any honest timeline, and we will not pretend otherwise. A partnership cannot rebuild pricing, intake and delivery by decision, only by consensus, and consensus among people whose income depends on the current model reliably produces pilots rather than rebuilds.
So AI Adoption runs the same sequence inside your existing departments, sign-off chains and risk constraints. Rolled out desk by desk on live matters.
What the engagement installs
Firm-wide structural audit
Read-only access to your case system, drive, calendar and billing. We map how work actually moves, not the org-chart version.
Governance & evidence rules
Documented technical controls: what is anchored to a source before it ships, what is logged, what is retained, and what a human must sign. Written for your risk and compliance function to review and adopt.
Role-safe delegation
Explicit doer, reviewer and decider on every action. Most organisations cannot safely delegate to AI because they never built a delegation structure for humans either.
Practice-group playbooks
Action libraries built per department, so litigation, corporate and advisory each get a system shaped to their own work.
Agents inside existing software
Drafting, review, summarisation and research wired into the tools the firm already runs, not bolted beside them.
Partner & staff enablement
Working sessions with the people who run the work, until the new path is the path of least resistance.
Built for
- ·Mid-sized and large firms
- ·Firms with existing software investments
- ·Practices in regulated or high-stakes work
Institutions
08
Legal Departments & Government
Run inside the accountability the institution actually lives under.
An in-house department or a government legal function does not get to move fast and break things. It answers to boards, ministers, auditors and the public record.
We will tell you honestly at intake what your procurement cycle means for the timeline.
What the engagement installs
Department operating model
Matter intake from the business or the public, explicit ownership, and a state any auditor can read.
Contract & advice workflows
Request-to-advice pipelines with templated first passes, review tiers, and turnaround measured in days rather than quarters.
Compliance & regulatory tracking
Statutory obligations, consultation deadlines and reporting duties held in one system with named owners and evidence attached.
Security & confidentiality by design
Data residency, access control and confidentiality constraints designed in from day one, not retrofitted after a scare.
Records that survive scrutiny
Every AI-assisted output anchored to sources and sign-offs, so the file defends itself in front of an auditor or an information request.
Team capability building
The lawyers inside the institution trained to supervise agents, because the capability has to outlive the engagement.
Built for
- ·In-house legal departments of any size
- ·Government and public-sector legal functions
- ·Regulated entities with audit obligations
09
Programmes for Law Schools
Teaching the next generation to run an AI-native practice, not to prompt a chatbot between lectures.
Law schools are producing graduates for a profession changing under their feet. We bring the same doctrine we install in working firms into curricula, clinics and faculty rooms, so students graduate knowing how legal work will actually be run.
Start the conversation a term ahead.
The programmes
AI-native lawyering curriculum
A structured module on the six primitives, agent supervision and evidence-anchored work product, built with faculty and taught from real matters.
Legal clinic transformation
The school's own clinic rebuilt as an AI-native practice, so students learn the model by working inside it.
Faculty & staff enablement
Working sessions that take educators from AI-anxious to AI-literate, with doctrine they can defend in a classroom.
Workshops & intensives
One day to one week, for students and moot teams. Drafting, research and matter management with agents in the loop.
Assessment integrity design
Honest answers to the examination question: how do you assess legal skill when the first draft is free.
Institutional AI usage documentation
Which tools are in use, what data reaches them, what output is reviewed and by whom, what is retained and logged. Written as a technical position for the institution's own counsel and academic board to adopt.
Built for
- ·Law schools and universities
- ·Legal clinics and moot programmes
- ·Bar associations and training bodies

MatterOS & LexOS
The operating model as products, ready today.
Both are built on the MATTER Method. Both are options inside an engagement, and neither is compulsory. Where the market software fits better, we install that instead.
Agentic case management
MatterOS
For the solo and small firm. Drop the files in and the matter assembles itself. Intake, structure, due diligence, analysis and drafting handled by agents while you supervise instead of type.
7-day free trial
The operating model, on Notion
LexOS
The same operating model as a Notion system you run yourself. Every matter, deadline, client, document and hour in one connected workspace, with a guided setup portal.
One-time price · lifetime access · no per-seat fees
The retainer
After the build, if you want us around.
A light monthly relationship that extends the model as the practice grows. New actions added as needed. Agent tuning against real matters. Quarterly primitive review.
From $900 a month
Available after a build or an engagement. One month notice, either side, always. No lock-in.
How every engagement runs
Three steps between this page and a working system.
- 01
Intake
Send the shape of your organisation and the bottleneck you cannot get past. We read every note ourselves and reply with an honest fit assessment, including sometimes a no.
- 02
Scope & fix the fee
One call to name the engagement, the track and the deliverables. The fee is fixed and quoted before anything starts. We hold ourselves to the pricing model we install. If your needs genuinely change mid-engagement, we say so and re-quote in writing rather than dripping in line items.
- 03
Deliver & hand over
Working artefacts from week two, and a handover that leaves your organisation running the model rather than renting it.
Who we serve
One doctrine. Every kind of legal organisation.
- 01Lawyers
- 02Law firms of every size
- 03In-house legal departments
- 04Government legal functions
- 05Law schools
adnah is scoped strictly to legal organisations - including the founder-led litigation technology and expert testimony practice. General corporates and founders work with the founder directly at raghavrhanda.com.
Questions
Asked before most intake calls.
If your question isn't here, put it in the intake note - we read every one.
Is adnah a law firm?
No. adnah is a technology studio. We build systems, applications and AI agents. We do not provide legal services, legal advice or drafting for clients, and we are not counsel on any matter.
What is the smallest thing we can buy?
The audit is free. After that, the Primitive Map at $750 is a complete deliverable you own whether or not you go further.
Why does the pricing show a range rather than a number?
Because scope varies by starting condition. A solo immigration practice and a three-hundred-lawyer firm running AI Adoption need very different depth. We quote one fixed number per organisation after the intake call, and we hold to it.
Is the fee really fixed, or fixed with exceptions?
Fixed. One number, agreed before work starts, no change orders for scope we should have anticipated.
Do we have to use MatterOS or LexOS?
No. They are options. Where a custom build or existing market software fits better, that is what we install.
Can we stop after the audit or the map?
Yes, and some do. Both are designed to stand alone.
Do we own what you build?
Yes. Your repository, your database, your domain, your keys. The engagement ends with your organisation running the model, not renting it.
How is our client data handled?
Read-only access wherever possible, scoped to what the work requires, with data residency and access constraints designed in rather than retrofitted. Our security posture is published in full.
What is the difference between adnah and working with Raghav directly?
adnah is scoped to legal organisations and runs as a structured, fixed-fee engagement with its own two-track model - including the specialist litigation and evidence technology practice, which he leads personally through the studio. Working with him directly at raghavrhanda.com covers any other kind of organisation. Either way, he is the one doing the work.
