Lex Guard | North of Now LLC

AI-powered legal research, document drafting, case strategy, and compliance analysis, running entirely through FORTELLION governance. Every output verified. Every authority traceable. Every risk escalated.

The Problem

Legal work requires precision. AI offers speed, but speed without governance is liability.

LexGuard was built to solve a specific problem: how do you harness AI's power for legal research, document generation, and strategic analysis WITHOUT sacrificing the accuracy, accountability, and evidentiary rigor that the law demands?

The answer: govern the AI before it reaches the user. That's what FORTELLION does. LexGuard is what FORTELLION looks like when applied to law.

Capabilities

What LexGuard Does

Jurisdiction Resolution

Enter a matter location and case context. FORTELLION resolves the complete authority cascade, federal or state, circuit, state, county, specific court, proceeding type, applicable law, and procedural rules. Geocoded via TomTom. No guessing.

Legal Research

Run a legal question through the research pipeline. Receive a memo with identified issues, search strategy, controlling authorities, and a synthesis where every proposition is traceable to a cited authority. If it can't be tied to an authority, it's flagged.

Citation Verification

Every cited authority is checked against the CourtListener case-law database (Free Law Project). Verified, not found, or requires manual review, each citation carries its verification status.

Evidence Analysis

Upload evidence files. FORTELLION determines what each piece proves, what it doesn't prove, what contradicts it, what corroborating evidence is missing, who can authenticate it, and what foundation is required for admission.

Timeline Intelligence

Build a chronological chain across all evidence. Flags missing dates, contradictions, statute-of-limitations issues, and procedural deadlines.

Litigation Strategy

Generate adversarial theories for both sides. Produce an overall strategy with current posture, strengths, vulnerabilities, recommended actions, risk assessment, and settlement recommendation.

•Damages Calculation, economic, non-economic, and punitive damages with itemized categories

•Negotiation Analysis, BATNA, reservation point, aspiration point, settlement range, and walk-away triggers

•Contract Calendar, operational milestone tracking for contract cases

•Procedural Deadlines, computed from trigger events with weekend and federal holiday adjustment

•Document Compliance, audit finished documents against court procedural and formatting rules

•Authority Tracing, trace every authority cited in a generated document to its source

•Privilege Detection, scan files for attorney-client privilege, work product, or confidential information

•Evidence Ledger, immutable chain-of-custody entries for every action taken on evidence

Proof at Scale

LexGuard isn't theoretical. It's been used to produce:

•19 grant applications totaling $6.7M to $9.7M+ in funding requests

•80+ sober living compliance documents across 9 states + DC

•32+ NIL compliance documents across 7 states

•Complete telehealth platform strategy and compliance framework

•13-member nonprofit board structure with conflict-of-interest analysis

•Business plans, dual-entity structures, and operational playbooks

Every document produced through governed AI. Every claim traceable to its source.
