Interactive preview · sample matter

A question asked inside the matter. The answer arrives with numbered authorities; Verify all checks each one against a public source.

Work you can sign.

Ask inside the matter. The agent plans, passes the gates, ranks its sources and checks every citation. What comes back is a memo with its authorities, for a supervising lawyer to sign.

  1. Ask inside the matter.

    A question, a contract, a data room. The matter already knows the client, the jurisdiction and the documents, so nothing has to be re-explained.

Every answer ranks its sources.

A search engine hands back whatever ranks. The workspace sorts what it finds by authority before a word is written: your documents, then primary law, then regulators and the official record, and only then the open web, labelled as such. The order is fixed in code and shown under Where we looked.

          Every citation, checked at the source before you read it.

          Citation verification takes each authority the model cites and holds it against the place it was published: does the record exist, does the quoted passage appear word for word, is the match strong enough, is the publisher approved. Four gates, enforced in code. The verdict is one of three words: verified, needs a check, not found.

          Holding the authority against the source it claims to come from.

          Agents that finish the work.

          A chat answers a question. An agent takes a task through to a memo: it reads the matter, plans, retrieves, checks, drafts and records how it did it. Pick one to see what to hand it and what comes back.

          Research Agent

          Plans the question, retrieves from primary law and drafts an answer with every authority checked.

          The Research Agent works in passes rather than a single prompt. It plans the question, decides which class of source answers each part, retrieves from primary law and the regulators' own handbooks, runs a treatment pass over every case it relies on, reads the firm's own documents on the matter, and only then drafts. An authority arrives labelled with a treatment signal: good law, followed, applied, distinguished, explained, considered, doubted, overruled, or needs a check. A doubted or overruled authority caps the confidence of the section that relies on it.

          Hand it

          • Answer a point of law with authorities cited and verified
          • Produce a court-ready research memo with OSCOLA pinpoints
          • Check whether a case relied on in a draft is still good law

          Best for

          • Litigation associates needing rapid, defensible case research with treatment signals.
          • Regulatory lawyers tracking cross-border obligations and rule diffs.
          • Partners who need an audit log per research turn for SRA defensibility, following Ayinde v Haringey.

          What comes back

          A memo with a summary, the authorities relied on with verdicts and treatment signals, open questions, and How this was made.

          Every agent

          Ask a legal question. Get a memo whose every authority has been checked.

          Legal research is where a general AI tool fails a lawyer, so it is where the most care went. Your question is handed to eleven specialist sub-agents in four stages: plan, retrieve, check, draft. A citator reads how every case has since been treated. A fact checker holds every claim against your file. Then four gates run in code before you see a word.

          How the Research Agent works
          Treatment signals
          Good law, followed, applied, distinguished, doubted, overruled or unverified, with the citing cases.
          Pinpoint references

          Take a piece of work, and walk it through.

          An NDA arrives with the board minutes that discussed it. The matter opens, the conflict check runs, both documents go on the file, the Contract Agent reads them together, and the mismatch between the governing law and the jurisdiction clause comes back first, with the minute that raised it. Every workflow below is written to that standard: what you upload, what the agent does, what comes back, what the supervising lawyer checks.

          1. 01Review an NDA against the board minutesA mutual NDA and the board minutes that discussed it go into one matter. The question is not whether the NDA is standard, it is whether it matches what the board decided, and that means reading both documents together.Research Agent · Contract AgentEngland and Wales6 steps

          3. 03Review the warranties and limitations in a share purchase agreementA seller's draft share purchase agreement for Halcyon Bidco is read as two documents that have to agree with each other: the warranty schedule and the limitations clause.

          4. 04Build a disclosure letter against the agreed warrantiesSellers of Northgate Analytics have agreed the warranty schedule and now have to disclose against it.

          6. 06Review a shareholders agreement under Irish company lawA minority investor is taking twenty-two per cent of an Irish private company and wants to know what the shareholders agreement actually gives them.
