RESPONSIBLE LEGAL SERVICE
Understand who makes professional judgments, how engagements are accepted and the boundaries for confidentiality, conflicts and information use.
CRUX is an AI-native legal services provider. The contracting entity, responsible professionals and professional practice arrangements for each matter are confirmed before the engagement is accepted.

yang@cruxlaw.cnThe responsible lawyer or appropriately qualified professional makes judgments in light of the facts, rules and business context, and reviews and explains the work. AI assists with processing materials and does not independently make legal commitments to others.
We first understand the matter and relevant parties, check conflicts and engagement conditions, then confirm the scope of work and contracting arrangements. An initial discussion or preparation of an enquiry summary does not itself mean an engagement has been accepted.
Only a brief background is needed at first contact. Before sensitive documents are provided, confirm how they will be received, who can access them, their intended use and the scope of sharing.
Specific tools, storage locations, any third-party or cross-border processing, restrictions on use for training, and retention and deletion arrangements should be agreed for the matter. Clients are not asked for complete sensitive materials before those arrangements are confirmed.
Engagement documents should identify the entity doing the work, the people responsible, the scope of deliverables, communication arrangements and allocation of responsibilities. Work requiring lawyers must be arranged in accordance with relevant professional practice rules.
Qualifications, partner institutions, data-processing measures and service commitments that have not been disclosed should not be assumed. The company named on the business card is not automatically the contracting entity for every legal matter.
Begin with the type of matter, basic information about the parties, your objectives and timing. Sensitive original documents are not needed for the first conversation.
Confirm potential conflicts of interest, required professional qualifications and the scope we can accept before arranging document exchange.
Agree in writing on the contracting entity, responsible people, scope of work, deliverables, timing and limits on information use.
Start by explaining what you are working on, what you hope to resolve and when a decision is needed. After checking engagement conditions and conflicts of interest, we can identify the documents required.
Yes. An existing version helps establish the background. Professional judgment still depends on the facts, applicable rules and context; AI-generated conclusions and references must be checked again.
The contracting entity and the responsible lawyer or appropriately qualified professional should be identified before accepting the engagement. Arrangements for work requiring lawyers must comply with the relevant professional practice rules.
No. Begin with a summary that avoids sensitive details. How materials will be received, who may access them, and arrangements for tool use and retention can be agreed in a later discussion.
Tell us the background, your objectives and timing. We can then agree on a suitable next step.
