Problem
Legal professionals spend extensive time searching multiple databases and manually reviewing statutes, case law, and contracts, which slows case preparation and increases the risk of missing relevant information. Maintaining confidentiality while integrating internal documents adds further complexity.
Solution
Silex provides a Swiss‑hosted AI legal assistant that processes natural‑language queries and returns documented answers with citations to up‑to‑date legal sources within seconds. The system combines a curated, continuously updated repository of Swiss law with specialized large‑language models trained for legal reasoning, reducing research time by up to 94 %. It also offers a “Silos” feature that securely indexes a firm’s own contracts and notes, keeping data private and never using it to train the models. All interactions are encrypted and hosted in Switzerland to ensure professional secrecy. Users receive the results through a web interface that supports export and collaboration, enabling faster case handling and higher throughput.
Target Audience
Primary customers are law firms, notaries, and corporate legal departments in Switzerland that require fast, reliable legal research while preserving client confidentiality.
