About 42B.ai

Built by people who  have lived the billing compliance problem

We combine decades of corporate legal operations experience with deep engineering expertise to give legal departments the compliance control they've always needed - but never had.

WE SOLVE YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM

Outside counsel invoices that don't follow your rules are costing you millions.

Corporate legal departments spend enormous effort negotiating outside counsel billing guidelines - rate structures, task code requirements, block billing rules, expense limits. Then invoices arrive and compliance falls through the cracks.

Manual review is slow, inconsistent, and impossible to scale. The result: non-compliant charges get paid, guidelines go unenforced, and legal spend spirals beyond budget.

42B.ai exists to fix that. We automate invoice compliance review so every line item is checked against your guidelines, every time - without the manual grind.

The team behind 42B

40+ combined years across legal operations and enterprise engineering

42B was founded by two operators who spent their careers on opposite sides of the same problem. One spent two decades inside corporate legal departments - managing outside counsel relationships, negotiating billing guidelines, and watching compliance gaps quietly cost companies real money. The other spent two decades building enterprise-grade software, turning messy operational problems into systems that are accurate, auditable, and built to hold up under scrutiny. 42B is what happens when that operational depth and that engineering rigor point at the same invoice: a reviewer that understands how legal departments actually work, and technology dependable enough to trust with every line.
