Joint Offerings with SLI

For in house legal teams seeking assistance structuring their existing legal data (e.g., redlines) to create an ongoing foundation for LLM evaluation, training, instruction, and supervision, we collaborate with our sister company, Simplify Legal Intelligence (SLI) to jointly offer a defined set of core LLM implementation services on a flat fee, fixed scope basis. See the FAQ for more information.

Note: SLI is not a law firm, and its role is limited to assessing and structuring existing legal data (with legal oversight) and evaluating LLM factual accuracy and context awareness. SLI does not and cannot provide legal advice, IT services, software development, or technical infrastructure.

Joint LLM Evaluation

Assesses an LLM’s issue spotting, legal reasoning, consistency, playbook alignment, and technical drafting performance
- When evaluating new tools: Compare how different LLMs perform the same task with the same legal framework.
- When updating existing tools: Compare how the same LLM performs the same task with different legal frameworks
- Identifies performance areas where human legal supervision may be particularly critical

Assesses factual accuracy and context awareness of both “out of the box” and SLI-trained LLMs against a human example

Joint Offerings FAQ

Vining Legal and SLI are separate legal entities, each wholly owned by Jace Vining.
Each is an independently operated business which maintains a distinct and complementary role in joint offerings to clients.
Vining Legal and SLI offer flexible engagement models that can be tailored to the client’s project requirements.
This is typically structured as either a legal engagement with VL, where SLI provides technical consulting as a subcontractor, or as separate but coordinated engagements with both firms.
VL provides all legal services, including LLM legal reasoning evaluation and legal frame creation, while SLI focuses on technical aspects like foundation data structuring, prompt building, and LLM context evaluation.
Budget, security requirements, timeline, and client procurement policies are key factors in selecting the appropriate model.
