Your AI teammate for solo and small firms
AI was supposed to democratize access.
In legal, it hasn't. We're here to change that.
Why We're Building This
AI was supposed to democratize access. In legal, it hasn't. The biggest, flashiest AI tools are chasing big law and the 'Mr. 100' while solos are left with checklists and generic products — and in many cases can't even get a demo. There's a real product development mismatch in legal tech, and solos are on the losing side of it.
We see solos as the entrepreneurs of the legal profession. That's personal for us. Josh grew up in a small family business and has spent his career as an entrepreneur. He knows what it's like to be responsible for every detail, every client, every fire drill. Solo and small-firm lawyers live that reality every day.
We're not trying to replace that entrepreneurial grit — we're trying to give it leverage. TwinCounsel exists so solo attorneys can practice at a big-firm level while keeping their independence. The promise is simple: give solos the freedom to choose — do more work and grow, or go home at a reasonable hour — without sacrificing quality for clients.
Our Values
Built for Solos, Not Big Law
The flashiest AI tools chase enterprise contracts and big law. We build for the entrepreneurs of legal — practitioners who carry everything themselves.
Leverage, Not Replacement
We're not trying to replace your entrepreneurial grit — we're trying to give it leverage. Big-firm capability while you keep your independence.
Your Choice
Do more work and grow, or go home at a reasonable hour. TwinCounsel gives you the freedom to choose — without sacrificing quality for clients.
