At Alexsei, we are building cutting-edge legal AI by combining the skills of exceptional research attorneys with those of brilliant AI engineers. We leverage our tools to produce on-demand, short-turnaround legal memos that have garnered the acclaim of top law firms across North America. And, we’re growing!
