Keeping client conversations off third-party servers

BrightPath Legal couldn't use cloud transcription for client consultations without breaking confidentiality commitments. Doculigent's local-first transcription let them keep recordings in-house while cutting note-taking time by two-thirds.

The Dealbreaker

As a small legal practice, BrightPath recorded every client consultation for accuracy, but their cloud-based transcription vendor stored recordings on third-party servers — a non-starter under their confidentiality agreements. Associates were spending 3-4 hours a week hand-writing meeting summaries instead.

Local-First, and What It Freed Up

They switched to Doculigent's local-first recording and transcription, keeping every recording and transcript on their own storage with no data ever leaving the firm's infrastructure. Meeting summary time dropped to under 90 minutes a week per associate, and they cancelled their previous transcription subscription entirely.
