Legal AI for law firms in Northern Ireland and Ireland
Law firms in Northern Ireland and Ireland should look for legal AI that stores data in the UK or EU, prices in sterling or euro without a custom quote, works inside Microsoft Word, and is built for firms of their size. Scriptum is built in Northern Ireland for UK and Irish transactional firms. It stores customer data in the EU, never trains on your documents, and publishes prices of £79 or €95 per user per month for Starter.
Most legal AI is built in the United States or Sweden and designed first for very large firms. Firms in Belfast, Dublin, Cork, Derry and across the island are typically smaller, often work on both sides of the border, and answer to clients who ask hard questions about where their data goes.
What matters most for firms on the island of Ireland?
Where your data is stored
Irish firms work under the EU GDPR, and Northern Ireland firms under the UK GDPR. Both need to know where client documents are held and which providers process them. Scriptum stores all customer data in the European Union, in Frankfurt, and lists every sub-processor in its data protection policy, including the AI providers that process document text in the United States when an AI feature runs, under recognised transfer mechanisms.
Pricing in your currency
Scriptum shows euro prices for Ireland: €95 per user per month for Starter and €139 for Pro. UK prices are £79 and £119, excluding VAT.
A firm your size
Most firms on the island are small or mid-sized by UK and US standards, and few have innovation teams, so a tool has to work inside Word and deliver value on the first live matter.
Knowledge that stays local
In a smaller market, a firm's negotiating know-how sits with a few partners. When one retires or moves, a practice can lose years of experience. A clause library that captures what the firm agreed, and belongs to the firm, protects against that.

Why Scriptum is the best fit for transactional firms in Northern Ireland and Ireland
Scriptum was founded in Northern Ireland by a practising transactional lawyer, and built for the documents firms here work on every day: share purchase agreements, subscription and shareholders' agreements, commercial leases, supply and services contracts and employment documents. It drafts from your own precedents, reviews the other side's markup for partner sign-off, and on Pro negotiates inside limits your partner sets.
What Scriptum does not do
Scriptum does not offer legal research into Irish or UK case law, and it does not cover litigation. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certification are in progress, not complete.
