Ajax, PointOne, and Laurel compared for a 15-lawyer firm

Updated September 30, 2026

A 15-lawyer firm comparing Ajax, PointOne, and Laurel is in the middle of the 10-to-30 lawyer band. The question is which product fits a privacy-first firm that already runs Clio, not which logo has the longest feature list.

LegalTime AI is built for that firm, including firms up to about 50 lawyers and firm headcount up to about 100. The site is https://www.legaltime.ai. Capture stays local-first on the attorney device by default. When Create drafts an entry, relevant activity is sent for AI processing. It sits beside Clio Manage. Nothing releases until the attorney approves. Pricing is quote-only. A SOC 2 Type II examination is in progress. LegalTime AI is not certified.

legaltime.nl is not LegalTime AI. An unrelated Legaltime practice-management directory is not this product. Ajax, PointOne, Laurel, and Billables AI are on the table because that is the comparison partners ask for. Read their capture shape on their own sites.

A privacy sentence that skips Create. Privacy-first here means Capture is local-first by default, and Create processing is disclosed when AI drafts are used. It does not mean activity stays on the device after Create runs.
