About Sell Case Files to AI
This site is run by people who read review platforms' terms, data buyers' listings and the rules of professional conduct through their own document reader, keep every passage they quote, and answer each enquiry themselves.
The point of this site
A closed matter is held under a duty of confidence, often under privilege, and in a platform with its own terms. Setting those side by side shows what a firm can license as its own and what stays the client's.
Who uses it
Managing partners, heads of litigation and litigation support managers at law firms, disputes boutiques and e-discovery providers holding years of closed matters.
What you will find here
This site answers one question, "sell case files to ai", with a quote form you can use straight away, no account. It adds 4 guides on the questions people ask next. It also publishes a data table to cite (figures and method here) alongside the sources it draws on.
- E-discovery data and AI: what review platforms' terms say: E-discovery data held in Relativity, Everlaw, DISCO or Casepoint: who owns it, whether the platform may train on it, and what the firm gets back at the end.
- Who owns the client file? US and UK rules for a closed matter: Who owns the client file when a matter closes: the documents the client is entitled to, the firm's own working notes, and the confidence that survives the matter.
- Who buys case files for AI, and what each says it needs: Who buys case files and litigation documents for AI? The listing written for law firms, the data buyers that take legal work, and what each says about clients.
- Selling a law practice: the closed files and the clients' consent: Selling a law practice can move its goodwill and its files to another lawyer, but the closed matters stay under the clients' confidence. The US and UK rules.
What we leave out
- We never put a client's file, or any part of it, in front of a buyer without that client's informed release.
- We never ask for client names, matter numbers or documents through the form.
- We do not rate review platforms; a row is the platform's sentence and our short reading of it.

No review platform, legal AI vendor or data buyer pays to be listed here, and no link pays us a commission. Every answer is our reading of a published document or rule and is not legal advice on a firm's own clients, privilege or engagement terms. How we are paid: if a firm licenses its own material to a buyer we introduce, our fee is 12.5% of the deal, with a minimum, where we act as its exclusive agent, or 10% with a minimum where the material joins a bundle or the pool, agreed in writing first; any fee a buyer pays us is credited to the firm. We never receive a client's file.
