From first email to review-ready matter.
Cedent reads every email and attachment, files it to the right matter, calculates the deadline on your county's rules, and proposes the tasks that follow. Ask what a local rule requires or what your own documents establish, and the answer arrives with its source. You accept, or you don't.
Marriage of Quintero, start to signed off.
Three moments from a typical family law matter. Step through them.
Nine o'clock on a Wednesday. Nobody is opening this tonight - and the clock started the moment it was served.
A general-purpose model guesses. Cedent shows the rule it applied and the calendar it counted on - so you can check it in ten seconds.
Drafts cite only what the record supports. Anything unverified stays out and gets flagged - so you always know why Cedent said what it said.
A real matter, actually open.
Another matter in the same firm, and this time a screenshot rather than an illustration. The summary at the top was written from the ten things that arrived on this matter since yesterday. The deadline underneath it is counted on San Mateo's calendar. On the right, five things Cedent is proposing to do next, and every one of them is still only a suggestion.
Storing the work is not the same as doing it.
Cedent works alongside the system you already keep your files in, and exports back to it. The difference is who does the typing.
Built for the duties you already carry.
Cedent is attorney-in-control by design. It is built around the rules that govern AI use in practice, and names them as precisely as it names a filing deadline.
This describes how Cedent is built, not legal advice about your obligations. Your duty of competence stays yours, and Cedent is designed so you can discharge it quickly.
Read the AI and Professional Responsibility AddendumA contract term, not a marketing page. It sets out what the AI does, what it will not do, and who carries the duty to verify each output.
One plan, priced per person.
Every seat after the first costs less. No per-matter fees, no setup charge and no annual contract.

Is client material confidential?
Every email Cedent reads is treated as attorney-client material. Data stays inside your firm's workspace, access is scoped per user, and your content is not used to train models. SOC 2 Type II is underway.
What stops it from inventing a citation?
Drafts are source-grounded: each fact traces to a document in the matter record, ranked P0 to P5 by how well it is supported. Anything unverified is flagged for discovery and kept out of the draft rather than guessed at.
Who is responsible if a draft is wrong?
You are, which is why nothing leaves without you. Cedent is approval-gated: outbound mail, filings and bills wait in your review queue, and every deadline shows the arithmetic behind it so a check takes seconds.
Do I need to tell my client I use AI?
That depends on your engagement terms and your jurisdiction's guidance, so treat it as your call. Cedent keeps a record of what it did on each matter, which makes disclosure straightforward when you decide it is warranted.
Can I see what it did and why?
Yes. Each matter carries a timeline of what was filed, calculated and drafted, and each fact carries the document it came from. Deadlines show the rule and the calendar used to reach the date.
Does this replace my paralegal?
No. It removes the retyping, the court-day counting and the filing that nobody wants to do at 9 PM, so the people in your firm spend their time on work that needs judgment.
What if I practice outside the Bay Area?
Alameda, Santa Clara and San Francisco are loaded in depth today - local rules, courthouse departments, clerk hours, filing procedures and fees. Elsewhere in California, deadlines still calculate on the statewide judicial holiday calendar, you just do not get the local layer yet. Adding a county is a data change rather than a rebuild, and the architecture takes other states the same way. Tell us where you practice and we will tell you honestly whether we are ready for you.
Twenty minutes in the product, no sales deck.
We walk a California family law matter end to end in the working product: the filing arrives, the deadline is computed on the county's rules, the FL-150 fills from the record. It runs on our demonstration firm, where the parties are invented - so nothing of your clients' has to change hands to see how it behaves.
The burden yields. The evening is yours.
Tomorrow's deadlines calculated, the forms filled, the drafts waiting for your review. Close the laptop.
