Built for attorneys
who can't afford to cut corners.
"Harvey AI charges BigLaw $50,000 a year. Otter.ai uploads your depositions to train their models. Adobe sends your PDFs through the cloud. We built ShieldDrop because solo attorneys and small firms deserve the same privacy protection — without the enterprise price tag or the privacy trade-offs."
The problem we're solving
Every document that passes through a legal matter contains hidden metadata — author names, revision histories, GPS coordinates from crime scene photos, deleted draft arguments, tracked changes. When that metadata gets disclosed, it can damage your case, expose your strategy, violate client confidentiality, or trigger bar complaints.
The tools that solve this problem have historically been enterprise software costing hundreds of dollars per month per user — designed for BigLaw, priced out of reach for the solo practitioners and small firms who handle the vast majority of legal work in America.
Our approach
ShieldDrop is architecturally privacy-first. This isn't a policy statement — it's a technical fact. Every tool in the suite processes files in your browser's memory using WebAssembly and the Web Crypto API. Your documents are never transmitted to our servers because the processing happens on your device.
We cannot read your case notes, hear your transcriptions, or access your client files — by design. Zero data retention isn't a feature we added. It's what happens when you build the right way from the start.
