Draft the OWBPA release, build the comparator table for the EEOC charge, test FLSA exemptions and cost the union’s wage proposal. The files it needs are the ones already in your matter folder.

Inside the Employment & Labor Law mode
Employment agreements and separation
Builds offer letters and severance packages that recite the ADEA periods correctly, and shapes covenants to state law, from outright bans to salary thresholds.
Employment charge position statements
Drafts the charge response allegation by allegation, footnotes each assertion to its exhibit and drops the comparators that do more harm than good.
Worker classification and FLSA exemption
The salary basis and duties tests run against the $684 floor, and the contractor test is your state’s. If the classification fails, it sizes the back pay.
HR policy and handbook
Tests each rule the way a reasonable employee reads it, and turns out the state addenda, sick leave accrual and pay transparency postings included.
Leave and accommodation case management
Prepares the FMLA eligibility and designation notices due within five business days, then the ADA interactive process file, letters and return-to-work papers.
Investigation plan and findings report
Sets the scope, adds an Upjohn advisement to every interview outline, keeps the evidence log and writes findings that state the basis for each.
Collective bargaining and costing
Costs wage and benefit proposals across the contract term, with roll-ups and step movement shown so the committee sees the real number.
Grievance and arbitration case file
Reads the CBA language and the past awards, tracks the grievance steps and assembles the arbitration brief and prep binder.
Pleadings and motions
Drafts the complaint, the answer with affirmative defenses and the motion package, checked against local rules and standing orders.
Court filing and docketing
Counts response dates under FRCP 6(a) and state counting rules, and lays out the e-filing checklist before an employment filing.
Discovery and depositions
Puts together the interrogatories, document requests and objections that go after the personnel file, plus deficiency letters and deposition outlines.
Demand letters and settlement
The pre-suit demand grows out of the wage workbook or the chronology, and the mediation statements and releases of the disputed claim follow.
Employer immigration compliance
Audits I-9s field by field, separates the failures ICE lets you cure from the ones it now calls substantive, and assembles the H-1B public access files.
Legal memos and briefs
Writes the classification or accommodation memo in objective voice, and produces briefs and replies with point headings and a statement of facts.
Legal authority verification
Looks up each case, statute and agency guidance the draft relies on, and marks the ones it could not check, so you know where to start.

How it works
- 1
Open the matter folder
Drop in the charge and the personnel file, the handbook in force at the time, the offer and covenant letters, payroll and timekeeping exports, and your form agreements. For a union matter, add the CBA, side letters and grievance history.
- 2
Say what you need
Ask for the position statement with its comparator table, the release that states the ADEA periods as OWBPA requires, or the back pay workbook. Each draft cites the file behind every fact and says plainly what it could not reconcile.
- 3
Verify, then decide
Check the draft against the documents, confirm the comparators with HR and chase down the gaps it marked before anything reaches the agency. You sign and submit, and the decision is yours.
Who it’s for
Management-side, employee-side and union-side employment and labor lawyers at firms and in legal departments, including lawyers who conduct workplace investigations.
Questions
Does it invent case citations?
No, it checks every authority a draft cites and reports the ones it could not confirm. You still verify the law yourself before the draft goes out in your name, because courts sanction lawyers for fabricated citations regardless of the tool.
Can I run privileged investigation files through it?
That decision is yours and your firm’s to make under its confidentiality rules. Most firms settle it in a written AI policy first. Before you decide, know that the model runs on Paper Instruments’ servers, so the content it works on is sent there to be processed, and the app changes files only in the project’s folder. Courts have split on whether AI inputs and outputs keep their privilege, so weigh it like any vendor handling privileged material.
Where does client data go?
Ultramarine Work changes files only in the project’s folder. When a request needs it, it can read files elsewhere on your computer, never passwords, keys or app data, and you can turn that off in settings. The model runs on Paper Instruments’ servers, so the content it works on is sent there to be processed. Paper Instruments is SOC 2 Type II, and our security and compliance details are on our compliance page.
Can it conduct a workplace investigation and write the findings?
No, the findings have to come from you, because the record must stand behind every conclusion. It sorts the emails, builds the chronology, drafts interview outlines with the Upjohn advisement and logs each exhibit, and it notes what it could not verify. You check every lead it raises against the source, and the report carries only what you verified.
