What's hard
Cross-language client conversations for a law firm sit under three uncommon constraints:
- Confidentiality duties vary by jurisdiction, engagement, and firm policy
- Cross-language tools may send data to a cloud provider, depending on the engine selected
- No re-takes on contract clauses, case facts, legal opinions — missing one word is expensive
CrossMeet does not replace a firm's confidentiality controls, conflict checks, client consent, or legal analysis. The firm must decide whether a specific engine route is suitable for a matter.
How CrossMeet handles it
Local-engine route:
- When ASR, translation, and TTS all use local engines, the relevant processing can remain on the device
- After the required components and models are installed, local processing does not depend on cloud inference
- If any stage uses a cloud provider, the relevant audio or text is sent to that provider
Two-way simul-interpret + compose-bar:
- As the client speaks, the selected ASR engine streams source text and translation updates alongside it
- The compose bar shows a translation preview that you can correct before sending
- The user should verify critical clauses, dates, and monetary figures before sending
Configuration suggestions
- Engine stack: Whisper-faster (local, 6GB+ VRAM) + Ollama Qwen2.5 (local LLM) + CosyVoice / VoxCPM (local TTS)
- Prompt template: legal-domain prompt injection — "preserve legal precision, do not paraphrase"
- Glossary: client company names, party names, case numbers, legal terms
- RAG knowledge base: case backgrounders, related contracts, relevant precedents
- Plan: Pro Lifetime $89 (solo practitioner), Team $279/yr (5-10 person boutique), or Enterprise (compliance agreements + private deployment)
Case studies
In progress. We are early in our first wave of law-firm engagements. If you would consider sharing a (potentially anonymous) case study, contact enterprise@crossmeet.com.
We will not fabricate case studies — that's a firm line.
