Referent is AI-native legal practice management software for lawyers and law firms. It combines Legal AI, Legal CRM, client intake, matter management, documents, deadlines, email workflows, follow-ups, and billing prep to help turn any law firm into an AI-native law firm.
@gproduct Many congrats, George and team! :)
How I met the maker
George reached out to me a week ago, and we had some initial conversations about the product and its positioning. Right away, I could tell he was building something thoughtful and practical.
What does the product do
Referent is an end-to-end platform for running a law firm. It goes beyond being just an AI lawyer by helping with intake, matter management, documents, deadlines, email workflows, follow-ups, CRM, and billing prep.
Why I endorse it
I’ve seen a lot of tools built for lawyers, but most solve only one part of the workflow. Referent stood out because it feels like a complete operating system for a law firm, and that full-stack approach is why I’m happy to endorse it. :)
@rohanrecommends Thank you, Rohan. "Operating system for a law firm" is exactly it, and we Grateful you hunted us today!
@gproduct The jump from an AI research tool to an AI-native practice management system makes a lot of sense. Curious about the “matter management” side, when something changes in an email or client conversation, can Referent automatically update the matter, deadlines or follow-ups, or does the lawyer still review and confirm those changes?
We use Attio, and everyone's emails are integrated into the CRM. I can't imagine how lawyers, with their professional distortions, can give AI permission to read emails 💀 In any case, good luck with the PH, the product looks great, lawyers should check it out.
@tanjum Fair point. Lawyers are even more careful than you think. That's why nothing goes out without the lawyer's OK. Thanks!
@tanjum Most of them react the same way on the first call. Two things usually settle it: nothing goes to a client without the lawyer approving it, and every action lands in an audit log. Gmail and Outlook are both verified with Google and Microsoft, workspaces are isolated, and we don't train on customer data.
Plenty of firms still start with a separate inbox for inquiries and widen it later. Thanks for the good luck.
Nice alternative to Legora, especially considering the price
@angelaaa Thanks, we're a different layer than Legora. They do research and drafting. We run the operations around that work: intake, matters, deadline tracking, follow-ups.
@angelaaa Adding to what Alex said: we price for solo and small firms, not for BigLaw budgets. The average lawyer bills 2.9 hours of an 8-hour day, the rest is admin. That's the part we sell back.
The biggest question for me would be privacy and permissions especially when multiple people work on sensitive matters. How granular are the access control between lawyers staff and individual matters?
@prince__kumar Good question. Access works by roles, and agents only see what their user can see. Every action is logged with a name on it. Per-matter access is coming, it's the top ask from bigger firms. Happy to show it on a demo.
I thought it was another AI legal drafting/researching, but this is the first time I've seen ai-native legal practice management. Cool, good luck on PH.
@glenn_ryan3 That's the gap. Everyone went deep on research and drafting, nobody touched the software that actually runs the firm. Thanks, appreciate it.
OMG, just talked 2 days ago about your product with my lawyer 😀
@paul_guerrero Ha, small world. Hope they had something good to say.
Love the UI and polish, would love to refer you to some friends in my network!
