What's hard
Cross-language client conversations for a law firm sit under three uncommon constraints:
- Attorney-client privilege the moment the conversation starts; any third party listening breaks the privilege
- Cross-language clients abroad, public translators (Google / DeepL) effectively send case content to those vendors
- No re-takes on contract clauses, case facts, legal opinions — missing one word is expensive
Why the mainstream tools fall short:
- Zoom AI Companion / Otter upload meeting content to their cloud, which breaks attorney-client privilege
- A human translator adds a third party, which itself breaks privilege
- A client running Google Translate is functionally handing case details to Google
How CrossMeet handles it
Fully local mode (Mode 1):
- ASR, LLM, and TTS all run on the lawyer's laptop
- Yank the network cable — everything still works
- There is no "but it happens to live on a cloud server" risk
- Both legal entities (
[CN_COMPANY_NAME]/[HK_COMPANY_NAME]) can sign DPA + NDA
Two-way simul-interpret + compose-bar:
- Client speaks a foreign language → ASR puts source text on screen in 100ms — you understand immediately
- When you respond, the compose-bar shows your typed message with a live translation preview — correct it to 100% before sending
- Critical clauses, dates, and monetary figures get 100% review before they leave your mouth
Configuration suggestions
- Engine stack: Whisper-faster (local, 6GB+ VRAM) + Ollama Qwen2.5 (local LLM) + CosyVoice / VoxCPM (local TTS)
- Prompt template: legal-domain prompt injection — "preserve legal precision, do not paraphrase"
- Glossary: client company names, party names, case numbers, legal terms
- RAG knowledge base: case backgrounders, related contracts, relevant precedents
- Plan: Pro Lifetime $89 (solo practitioner), Team $279/yr (5-10 person boutique), or Enterprise (compliance agreements + private deployment)
Case studies
In progress. We are early in our first wave of law-firm engagements. If you would consider sharing a (potentially anonymous) case study, contact enterprise@crossmeet.com.
We will not fabricate case studies — that's a firm line.
