About Us

We're not replacing your team.
We're giving them superpowers.

recess.legal was born from a simple observation: the best legal teams aren't held back by talent — they're held back by time. We build AI that gives them more of it.

Our Mission

Make every attorney as effective as a team of ten.

Personal injury law is one of the most time-intensive practices in the legal profession. A single medical chronology can take 10-15 hours of careful review. Demand packages require cross-referencing dozens of documents. And every missed detail is a missed opportunity for your client.

We believe AI should handle the heavy lifting so your team can focus on what matters — strategy, client relationships, and winning cases. Not reviewing page 347 of a medical record for the third time.

That's why we built recess.legal. It's not a chatbot. It's not a search engine with a legal dictionary. It's your own AI teammate that understands personal injury cases, learns how your firm works, and never clocks out.

Every answer comes with a page number you can check. Every document is searchable in seconds. Every firm's data is completely private. Because when you're handling privileged information, “good enough” isn't good enough.

Our Journey

Building the future of legal work.

2025

The Idea

After seeing PI firms spend weeks on work that should take hours, we started building purpose-built AI for legal workflows.

Early 2026

Core Platform

Document reading, page-accurate search, and the first medical chronology generator. Every attorney gets their own private AI — no shared data between firms.

Q1 2026

Security Hardening

Full data protection — encrypted files, tamper-proof activity logs, and privacy architecture built for attorney-client privilege from day one.

Q2 2026

First Firms

Opening access to a select group of PI firms for hands-on onboarding, feedback, and product refinement.

2026+

Expanding Practice Areas

Starting with PI, expanding to family law, employment, and beyond. The platform grows, the mission stays the same.
