# Sputnik Legal

> Sputnik Legal is a managed AI service for international arbitration law firms. We combine AI agents with Legal Engineers to process thousands of case documents in hours, build structured evidence bases, and draft legal analysis — so legal teams can focus on strategy instead of document review.

Sputnik is not a software tool that lawyers must learn to use. It is a partner team: Legal Engineers run the AI platform on behalf of the firm, handling data ingestion, prompt engineering, and quality control.

Based in Madrid and Colombia. Founded by Peter Van Dijck (CEO, 20+ years in technology) and Mateo Posada (Head of Legal, international arbitration attorney).

## What Sputnik Does

- **72-Hour Case Intake**: Transforms messy document productions (emails, scans, PDFs, spreadsheets, OneDrive/Dropbox folders) into a fully searchable, structured evidence base in 3 days.
- **AI-Powered Document Review**: Agent-led review that answers specific legal questions — finding contradictions, timeline gaps, and smoking guns across thousands of documents. Not keyword search, not automatic tagging — task-oriented AI agents managed by Legal Engineers.
- **Draft Response Generation**: AI-assisted drafting of memorials and responses, with footnotes linked to source documents.
- **Case Intelligence**: Chat-based AI assistant (powered by Claude) that understands the full case context, procedural phase, and team notes.

## Who It's For

- International arbitration law firms handling complex, document-heavy disputes
- Boutique firms that want to compete with Big Law without proportional headcount
- Legal teams facing tight deadlines on large case files (1,000+ documents)

## Key Differentiators

- **Managed service, not a SaaS tool**: Legal Engineers operate the platform for you
- **Agent-led review**: AI agents execute specific legal research tasks, not just tag documents
- **Built for the mess**: Handles real-world file chaos — emails, TIFF scans, disorganized folders
- **Human-in-the-loop**: Every AI output is reviewed and refined by Legal Engineers
