Sidebar Code is the consulting practice of a working litigator who built the systems inside his own firm. Custom agent workflows, firm-wide AI configuration, and governance frameworks, delivered by someone who knows how the work actually gets done.
Every engagement starts with a conversation about your practice, your associates, and the workflows that are eating your partners' time. Then we build the solution around that. These are not templates. They are firm-specific configurations.
Kyle shows up and makes it work for your firm. A focused consulting session that gets your team oriented, deploys a working AI workflow, and gives your partners the confidence to adopt.
For firms ready to commit. Full workflow audit, custom CLAUDE.md build, and hands-on deployment across your practice areas.
For firms transforming operations. Multi-agent system design, firm-wide governance, and ongoing strategic support.
Every firm has a handful of workflows that consume associate and paralegal hours in ways that do not show up on any billing ledger. Intake triage. Discovery review. Fee application drafting. These are the workflows where a purpose-built agent pays for itself in the first month.
One custom agent scoped to one workflow. Ideal for firms that have an obvious bottleneck and want to see what a purpose-built agent can do before committing further.
Examples: intake triage, demand letter generator, discovery request drafter, billing entry reviewer
Two to three agents coordinating on a workflow. Orchestration design included so every handoff is clean and every output feeds the next step.
Examples: intake to drafting to review pipeline, discovery response pipeline
End-to-end multi-agent system for a specific practice area. For firms that want to run an entire practice area through an AI-native workflow from day one.
Examples: full collections lifecycle, full insurance defense case management
Production-ready workflow files you can install today and use on your next matter. Jurisdiction-neutral; configurable for any state.
Get the product into the firm. The Pleading Parser skill creates an immediate "aha" moment, analyzing any pleading and spotting issues in minutes instead of hours.
All four skills plus the Integration Guide and a CLAUDE.md starter template. The full toolkit for firms ready to run their litigation workflow through AI.
Sidebar Code started because I got tired of watching good attorneys lose hours to work that should take minutes. As a practicing litigator, I was buried in the same repetitive workflows as everyone else — discovery requests, deposition outlines, motion drafts, billing review. So I built AI agents to handle them. Then I built a multi-agent system to coordinate them. Then I built a collections management platform powered by the whole thing. Now I package what I built for other firms.
The difference between Sidebar Code and a legal tech vendor is simple. I am not a tech consultant who learned law. I am a litigator who built production systems while carrying an active caseload. I know what it feels like when the deadline is tomorrow, the partner is waiting, and the associate needs to produce. That is the environment these tools were designed for.
Every engagement is delivered personally by me. Every skill file has been tested in real litigation on real cases. Every recommendation comes from what actually works under pressure — not what looks good in a demo.
Every engagement begins with a conversation. Tell me about your firm, your practice areas, and the workflows that are costing you time. I will tell you what I would build and what it would cost.
