* Estimates based on typical documents. Actual results vary by document size and complexity.

Large language models such as AI models, AI assistants, AI tools, and open-source AI have become increasingly capable tools for legal document analysis, research, and drafting assistance. However, the data handling practices of LLM providers vary significantly, and most commercial LLM services process user inputs on remote servers where data may be temporarily stored, logged, or used to improve future model performance. For attorneys, this creates a tension between the utility of LLMs and the obligation to protect client confidentiality. Redacting personally identifiable information before LLM submission resolves this tension by ensuring that no real client data reaches the model. Justee automates this process specifically for legal documents, detecting entity types that are common in legal contexts — such as case numbers, bar identification numbers, and court references — in addition to standard PII like names, SSNs, and addresses. The result is a document that an LLM can analyze effectively while containing zero actual client information.

What We Redact

Names of all parties, witnesses, judges, and attorneys replaced with sequential [PERSON_N] placeholders

Court identifiers including case numbers, docket IDs, and filing references anonymized to [CASE_NUMBER_N]

Financial data such as damages amounts, retainer fees, and account numbers redacted completely

Contact information including email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses removed

Professional identifiers such as bar numbers, medical license numbers, and employee IDs stripped

Risks of Sharing Unredacted Documents

LLM providers may retain input data temporarily or permanently depending on their terms of service

Cloud-based LLMs process data on shared infrastructure, increasing potential exposure surface

Prompts containing client PII may appear in provider logs or debugging systems

Some LLM outputs are reviewed by human evaluators at the provider company for quality assurance

Cross-referencing redacted but patterned data could potentially re-identify clients without full redaction

Download the clean document and use it with AI models, AI assistants, AI tools, open-source AI, or any other LLM platform.

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

An intellectual property law firm was building a research workflow using AI assistants to analyze patent licensing agreements for common royalty structures. The licensing agreements contained inventor names, patent numbers linked to specific individuals, licensing fee structures, corporate party names, and confidential royalty percentages.

Issue Found: Submitting unredacted licensing agreements would have exposed proprietary business terms, inventor identities, and confidential royalty rates to the LLM provider's servers.

Resolution: The firm processed all 30 licensing agreements through Justee before LLM submission. Party names, patent-holder identifiers, financial terms, and contact details were replaced with structured placeholders. AI assistants was able to identify royalty structure patterns across agreements without accessing any real business or personal data.

Patent License Agreement: Before vs. After Redaction

Why it matters: Organization names, individual identifiers, tax IDs, patent numbers, royalty rates, and contact details are all replaced. The LLM can analyze license structure, grant scope, and royalty mechanics without seeing any confidential business information.

No credit card required

The legal profession is adopting LLMs faster than ethics rules can keep up. Until the rules catch up, the safest approach is simple: never send client data to an LLM. Redact first, analyze second.

Frequently Asked Questions

Justee produces redacted documents that work with any LLM — including AI models, AI tools, open-source AI, Mistral, and any other language model. The output is platform-agnostic clean text with structured placeholders.

In addition to standard PII like names and SSNs, Justee detects legal-specific identifiers including case/docket numbers, bar admission numbers, court references, EINs, and matter-specific codes commonly found in legal documents.

Yes. Justee uses typed, sequential placeholders (e.g., [PERSON_1], [ORGANIZATION_2]) that maintain relational context. LLMs can identify which entity is referenced where, analyze clause structures, and provide substantive assistance without real data.

The free tier handles individual documents efficiently. For firms processing large document sets regularly, Justee offers plans with batch processing capabilities. Each document typically processes in under two minutes.

Documents are encrypted with AES-256 during processing and permanently deleted immediately after redaction is complete. Justee does not store, cache, or retain any uploaded or processed documents.

Absolutely. If your firm runs a local LLM instance, Justee's redacted output can be used with it just as easily as with cloud-based models. Redaction adds a privacy layer regardless of where the LLM runs.

Justee focuses on text content redaction, detecting and replacing PII within the document body. For metadata concerns, attorneys should also consider using document metadata scrubbing tools as a complementary step.

Justee works with text-based documents only, including PDF, DOCX, and TXT files. Scanned PDFs without embedded text must be processed through OCR software first to convert them to searchable text before redaction.

PII is replaced with semantic placeholders like [PERSON_1], [SSN_1], and [ORGANIZATION_1] that preserve the document relational structure. LLMs can still understand which entity is referenced where without accessing any real data.

No. All processing occurs on Justee servers. Your documents are never sent to external AI platforms, third-party APIs, or any other outside service during the redaction process.

Justee uses multiple AI detection layers combined with pattern matchers tuned for legal entity types. While this provides broad coverage across 30 entity types, detection is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. Always review the redacted output before submitting to any LLM.

Your original file is deleted from our servers immediately after redaction completes. The redacted version is deleted immediately after you download it.

We detect 30 entity types across personal and corporate data. Personal: names, SSNs, addresses, emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, driver's licenses, passports, bank accounts, credit cards, IBAN codes, routing numbers, medical licenses, Medicare IDs, NPI. Corporate: organization names, EINs, business and insurance policy numbers, SWIFT/BIC codes, case numbers, bar IDs, geographic locations.
