Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s top law firms trust Makebell with their highest-stakes work.

A private AI operating system for work that cannot leave the firm. Privacy, control and confidentiality matter too much.

A listing draft, updated in the document, and kept inside the firm.

“We want to free the lawyer from mundane, routine tasks, so that they can focus on what matters — strategy, advice, and judgment.”

Deacons

The firm’s own library. The work starts from what is already on the shelf.
Law reports the practice already uses. The draft starts from that, not from a blank page.

What a firm is choosing.

Local deployment option. The data never leaves.

The system runs on the firm’s own machines.

Makebell cannot see your files. Model providers cannot see them either. No one outside the firm can see your chats or your files.

Nothing leaves the firm. There is no data to store, and no data to train a model on. You do not have to negotiate those points.

The system runs on the firm’s own machines. The files do not leave.

Data segregation and access control

Files are kept separate by person, by matter, and by practice. A person sees a file only when they need it for the work.

An admin sets the role of every user, and what that person is allowed to do. The firm holds that control. It is not left open.

Every action on the platform is written to an audit log. Each one can be traced back.

Access is granted only to the person who needs the file.

Drafted from your precedents

Drafts, reviews, and research start from the firm’s own work. A new draft starts from the closest precedent, not from a blank page.

It reads your past matters and keeps what it finds: how you write, how the client likes the work done, and how the firm runs the file.

Contract review and due diligence run against the firm’s playbook. It looks for what matters to you, every time.

A new draft starts from the firm’s own precedents, not a blank page.

Track changes, in the document you already have

Makebell edits the document you already have. It does not answer in a chat next to it. Formatting, numbering, and structure stay as they are.

Changes come back as track changes. A lawyer accepts or rejects each one. You do not get a clean copy and have to find the differences yourself.

Every answer is grounded, and it links back to the exact source. That keeps hallucinations out.

The edit comes back in the document you already have, as track changes.

Domain-specific, from the first day

A general model has to learn your practice first. This one does not.

Our professional team has curated jurisdiction-specific knowledge. It is drawn from legislation, government, and the regulators.

Practice-specific skills are ready as resources too. You can use the system for real work from the first day.

The practice knowledge is already there. You can start on the first day.
