August was founded by Rutvik, Thomas, and Joe, who first met at a Columbia University research lab. Having worked in law, finance, and tech, we recognized that professional services firms were underserved by one-size-fits-all solutions. Our mission became clear: to create legal AI that mirrors each firm’s unique expertise, empowering professionals to work smarter, faster, and with greater impact.

Throughout 2025, we've expanded from our initial U.S. client base to partner with firms globally—including Canada, Australia, Africa, and India—driven by the belief that every firm deserves technology aligned with their distinct practice.
