Which deployment mode?

Most legal workflows want Private Edge.

Confidential client documents, attorney-client privilege, and bar rules on data residency push most legal workflows to the on-prem appliance. Some intake and ops workflows work in NWA-managed cloud.

For non-confidential workflows like billing follow-up, scheduling triage, and CRM updates.

Forge

Private Edge

Most legal workflows
