Frequently asked

Built-in AI does what the vendor decided you need. Sidecar teaches your team to design workflows around how your firm actually works — and to keep building new ones as the practice evolves. The tool is a feature. Fluency is a capability.

That’s exactly the problem Sidecar solves. The cohort is structured for working attorneys and staff — 7 modules over 16 weeks, with live sessions, async work, and workflows your team builds on real firm matters. You’re not pausing the business to learn; you’re training while you ship.

It would be, if we taught your team to paste case files into consumer ChatGPT. We don’t. Sidecar uses Claude with enterprise-grade controls, and every module builds guardrails for privilege, PII, and confidentiality into the workflow itself. Your team finishes knowing not just how to use AI — but where it belongs and where it doesn’t.

No. It removes the work they hate so they can do the work you hired them for. Paralegals drowning in medical record review become the team members running three matters in parallel. Associates stop formatting and start thinking. Your headcount doesn’t shrink — your leverage grows.

Most firms try tools. Tools don’t stick because nobody owns them. Sidecar trains people, not software. By the end of the cohort, your team has a library of workflows with their names on them — designed around your matters, your voice, and your standards. That’s what sticks.

You can, and many firms have. YouTube teaches you prompts. Consultants build workflows for you and leave with the knowledge. Sidecar does the opposite: your team builds the workflows, owns the playbooks, and can train the next hire without calling us back. You finish with capability, not a dependency.

Most of them are CLE-style lectures about what AI is. Sidecar is a build program about what your team does with it — specifically tuned for plaintiff PI practice. You leave with working agents, not a certificate. And we cap cohorts at 20 so we can actually teach, not broadcast.

Ask your paralegals what they’d do with 10 hours back a week. Ask your managing partner what it’s worth to stop being the bottleneck. Firms report medical record summaries dropping from a full afternoon to under an hour, intake triage running overnight, and demand drafts built from firm-specific playbooks instead of from scratch. The math writes itself by module 3.
