AI
AI can speed up drafting, summaries and first-pass research. Your Conveyancing Clerk checks every citation at the source, and the lawyer signs off.
First drafts from your precedents
Routine letters and documents drafted from the firm's own precedents, checked line by line.
Chronologies and summaries
Long documents summarised into chronologies and issue lists, with page references checked.
First-pass research
A starting list of authorities, every one opened and checked. Courts have dealt with AI-invented citations, so nothing unverified goes in.
Proofreading and consistency
Defined terms, cross-references and numbering checked with AI help, then by eye.
Our rule: business-grade AI only, never free or personal accounts.
