Law alone is not enough to make law work.
In private practice, he learned the rigour of legal reasoning, the quality of advice, responsibility for the outcome.
In-house, he came up against another question: how do you make that expertise work inside an organisation?
- How do requests come in?
- Who triages them?
- Who decides?
- Who produces?
- Who finds the information?
- What can be automated?
- What should be measured?
- And above all: where does legal judgment remain essential?
That gap, between the law produced and the system it has to work in, is what led him to found Pills.
From practising law to law that works.

Matters in heavily regulated sectors: medicines, medical devices, cosmetics, e-health. There he learned legal craft, rigour and responsibility for advice.

Everything went through him. That is where he found that producing law was not enough: its flow, its production and its use had to be organised too.

Building the system that was missing between the two.
AI does not replace judgment. It changes everything around it.
Organisations produce more law, faster, and now with AI. The way they work has often not kept up.
Pills., a Legal Ops consultancy, was founded to address exactly that, in 2020. We design the work with AI from the start.
Our role: keep lawyers’ time for what truly deserves their judgment.
An engagement is not a transfer of responsibility.

The founder stays directly involved.
Steve Chrétien leads every engagement himself, from scoping to handover, and takes part in the decisions that shape it.
- 02
The work stays in good hands.
No subcontracting, no succession of consultants. The person who designs the work is the one who carries it out.

We also know how to say no.
If the problem is not one Pills. can truly solve, we say so before we start.
