FAQ
Questions a managing partner actually asks.
Consulting is not the Viro subscription. You can buy the day without the platform. You cannot treat the platform as a substitute for the day. Do we have to buy Viro?
Do we have to buy Viro?
No. Consulting does not require it. Viro is what I train on. I can also train on public AI tools; those will not be as confidential as the Viro sandbox. The subscription is on the Viro page.
What is the usual first purchase?
A written assessment, $2,500, credited toward a package booked within 45 days.
Can you set this up on Claude Team, ChatGPT Enterprise, Copilot, or a legal vendor we already pay for?
Yes. Tool choice depends on the office. I do not promise a particular vendor stack.
What do we need to prepare before you arrive?
Three redacted sample files, the current engagement letter, a list of tools already in use, and who will sit in the labs.
Will you work on live client files?
I prefer redacted samples. If the firm later uses the environment on live files, that is the firm’s work. Judgment stays with the lawyer.
How do you handle redaction and sample-file selection?
Redaction is the firm’s work. I can help choose which files will actually test the workflow. We do not use live, unredacted client files as training material.
Is there a remote option for the staff lab?
On-site is the default. A remote staff lab can be discussed if that group cannot assemble in the room.
What is included in travel from Farmingdale?
On-site work within about 90 minutes of Farmingdale is treated as included. The radius, and anything beyond it, are on the Platform page.
Is this a representation?
No. This engagement is consulting for the firm. It is not legal representation of the firm’s clients.
What happens if someone at the firm already pasted files into ChatGPT?
That is a stop-the-bleeding session: remote, two hours, quoted. What to stop, what to document, what to tell the client, and a file memo. Write for a specialized package, or start from Contact.
Can associates attend, and is there a cap?
Associates may attend. The base price covers up to eight people. Additional attendees are quoted. Full attendee mechanics are on the Platform page.
