Data DividendFree valuation

For small & mid-size law firms

Your firm's know-how is worth money. Your clients' files never leave.

AI labs are paying law firms for what the firm itself wrote: templates, clause libraries, checklists and matter workflows, with anything identifying a client or matter removed. Some programs take firms from six staff.

What's valuable

What buyers want from law firms

Records of real work and how it turned out. The more years and the better kept, the more they're worth.

  • Templates and clause libraries

    Your forms and fallback clauses, with the notes on when to use which.

  • Checklists

    The closing, diligence and filing checklists your team actually uses.

  • Matter workflows

    How a matter moves from intake to close: steps, hand-offs and deadlines.

  • Practice guides and training

    What you teach new associates and paralegals.

  • De-identified precedents

    Firm-drafted precedents with every client and matter detail removed, where your obligations allow it.

What labs learn from it

What a lab learns from your drafting

Legal AI is only as good as the drafting it has seen. A clause library with notes on when to give ground and when to hold shows a model how a careful lawyer actually negotiates. That firm-authored know-how is what's in scope; client material isn't.

  • Choosing the right clause and fallback
  • Running a closing without missing a step
  • Moving a matter from intake to close

We never promise a number. Value depends on how much data you have, how many years it covers and how well it's kept. Your valuation tells you where you stand.

See where you stand

How it works

Three steps. You approve every one.

You don't need to prepare anything for the valuation, and nothing leaves your company until you've seen it and signed off.

  1. Get a free valuation

    Answer a few questions about your company. Within one business day we email you what buyers want from businesses like yours and what drives the price. No data needed yet.

  2. We find the buyer and do the work

    We match you with buyers who want your kind of data, then handle anonymization, PII removal and the paperwork. You approve every file and every term before anything leaves.

  3. You get paid

    Your company is paid under the license you sign. The buyer pays our fee, so it costs you nothing.

Privacy

What stays with you

You decide what's in scope. These never leave, and nothing goes anywhere without your written sign-off.

What never leaves

  • Privileged communications and attorney work product
  • Client documents, and anything identifying a client or matter
  • Anything your ethics rules or engagement letters don't allow
  • HR, payroll and personnel files

How we anonymize

  1. Personal data is removed or replaced with placeholders.
  2. The cleaned files are reviewed, by us and then by you.
  3. Nothing leaves until you sign off in writing.

FAQ

Questions owners ask first

Anything else? Email [email protected] and a person will answer.

What about privilege and our ethics obligations?

They come first. Only material the firm itself authored goes in scope: templates, clause libraries, checklists, practice guides and workflows, with anything identifying a client or matter removed. Privileged communications and client documents never leave. We recommend your ethics counsel review the scope before you sign.

How do you keep our data private?

Nothing leaves until it has been through three steps. Personal data (names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, account numbers) is removed or replaced with placeholders. The cleaned files are reviewed, by us and then by you. And you sign off in writing. Customer personal data, privileged or regulated records, and HR and payroll files are left out entirely.

How long does it take, and when do we get paid?

Your valuation arrives within one business day. If you go ahead, scoping and signing usually take a few weeks. Buyers pay once the data is delivered and accepted, typically 60 to 90 days after acceptance, and some pay sooner.

Do our employees need to know?

It depends on the data. Employee names and contact details are removed like everyone else's, and HR, payroll and personnel files never leave. Some material, such as call recordings or staff messages in certain states, can carry notice or consent rules; we flag it before anything is shared. Many owners choose to tell their team, and your counsel has the final word.

What does it cost us?

Nothing. The buyer pays us a fee when a deal closes. There's no upfront cost, and if no deal happens, nobody pays anything.

What if we say no?

Then nothing happens. The valuation is free and commits you to nothing. You can stop at any point before you sign, and nothing is ever shared without your written approval.

Who are you?

Data Dividend is a service of Augment Inc., based in Plano, Texas. We're independent, not tied to any one AI lab or data buyer, so our job is to find the buyer that fits your data rather than to fill one buyer's quota.
