The challenge
India has 1.4 billion citizens and a judicial system that often communicates in legal English when the citizen's first language is Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, or Kannada. Lawyers, meanwhile, lose hours to repetitive research and first-draft documentation that crowds out the higher-judgment work only they can do. This legal-tech platform needed a technology partner who could design an AI-native legal platform end-to-end on AWS, train a custom Small Language Model purpose-built for Indian law, support Indic languages as a first-class capability, and ship a live production-grade product.
What we built
The platform end-to-end on AWS, the legal AI platform itself, the custom legal SLM that powers it, and the production-grade AWS foundation underneath. The custom legal SLM is fine-tuned from Llama on Indian legal corpora (case law, statutes, procedural references) with native Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu support, served on Amazon EC2 GPU instances. The RAG pipeline runs on Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL with pgvector, a single managed database for both application data and the embedded legal corpora. Six production capabilities span legal research, document drafting and review, case management with viability scoring, expert connect for citizens, smart scheduling, and curated legal knowledge. Before launch, Infinitra ran the full AWS Well-Architected Review of the workload with our Guardian tool and auto-remediated high-risk findings, leaving the customer with a Well-Architected baseline and a documented review trail.
Why this matters
The most distinctive outcome is the one users feel first: a citizen in Tamil Nadu can ask a legal question in Tamil and receive a legally accurate answer grounded in Indian law, no longer forced to translate their problem into English before they can even articulate it. Lawyers see the other half of the win: the custom legal SLM handles the repetitive research and first-draft documentation, freeing the practitioner's hours for the judgment work clients are actually paying for. Across both audiences, the time from problem to first legal answer drops from days to minutes, and every AI response is grounded in citable Indian legal source material.
