RESEARCH AND CHAT
Ask the question. Read the verdicts before you rely on the answer.
Research runs against a fixed list of approved primary-law sources, writes the note in OSCOLA, and hands you every authority with a verdict: verified, needs a check, or not found.
Prepare for
The chat tier selector, the 'Prepare for' presets, and the deliverable formats.
3
chat tiers, effort not a model number: Balanced, Thorough and Fast.
5
'Prepare for' presets: Executive Brief, Work-Stream Memo, Client Update, Court-Ready OSCOLA, Regulator Response.
4
deliverable formats: Word, Slides, Spreadsheet, PDF.
Thorough, Balanced or Fast
Pick how much work the question deserves. Thorough runs every research pass; Balanced is the default; Fast is for a quick check between calls. Every tier reaches the models the platform runs, or your firm's own provider key on any plan, including Free.

The three chat tiers, rendered as a segmented control.
Grounded on the matter
Every chat carries a matter chip. Attach the contract and the board minutes and the answer works at clause level, including a jurisdiction mismatch a keyword search misses. The chip keeps the work, the files and the credits attached to the right client from the first message.

Summary
Overall risk is HIGH. The UK/Ireland/EU non-compete is likely unenforceable, while the holiday carry-over cap and blanket data/monitoring consent require replacement; the remaining covenants, working-time opt-out and bonus clause should be narrowed and clarified.
- 1. Clause 9(c), non-compete: High: the 12-month prohibition on working for any law firm anywhere in the UK, Ireland or EU is wider than reasonably necessary.§ Tillman v Egon Zehnder Ltd [2019] UKSC 32
- 2. Clause 11, data and monitoring: High: blanket contractual consent is not an adequate basis for general employment processing or unrestricted monitoring.§ UK GDPR
The same research, shaped for the reader who has to act on it.
How it works
- 01
Ask, with the matter on
Type the question; the matter chip attaches the answer to the right client.
- 02
Choose the tier
Balanced by default, Thorough for the full pass, Fast for a quick check.
- 03
Choose who reads it
A Prepare-for preset shapes the same research five different ways.
- 04
Check the verdicts
Every authority carries verified, needs a check, or not found before you rely on it.
What it does not do
- It does not read Westlaw, Practical Law, Lexis, Bloomberg Law, Justis or vLex. Those domains are refused.
- It covers England and Wales, with EU, Irish and ECHR primary law: not US, Canadian or Australian law.
- Where a firm's jurisdiction has no closed-world list, research runs at open-web quality and the product says so rather than implying a check it did not run.
- A deliverable is drafting assistance. A supervising solicitor still signs it off.
