By practice: employment law, contract review, litigation.

Research chat with cited sources

Ask a legal question in plain English. Legal Brain searches its Australian legislation and case law material first, answers from what it found, and cites the sources it relied on. A second review pass checks the answer before you see it.

Client details anonymised before the AI sees them

In research chat, client-identifying details are replaced with placeholders before the question leaves your screen, and restored in the answer you read. That covers email addresses, phone numbers, street addresses and postcodes, court file and matter references, bank and card numbers, dates of birth, and labelled identifiers such as ABNs, ACNs, TFNs and Medicare numbers. Names are caught when they follow a title or role (Mr, Ms, the client, signed by), appear in a case name, or precede Pty Ltd.

In the document tools, anonymisation applies to the parties recorded on the matter, so record the parties before you work on anything confidential. Names without a title or role can still get through, so leave out client names the question does not need.

Commonwealth legislation from the Federal Register

Commonwealth section text is pulled live from the Federal Register of Legislation, the authoritative source, and shown with its compilation date. You read the words in force, not a paraphrase. State and territory Acts are linked to their official sources.

Case law and citation checking

Case law searches run against AustLII, with NSW Caselaw as a fallback, and citations link out to a source such as AustLII or JADE so you can read the judgment. Fair Work Commission citations and Queensland Supreme Court and Court of Appeal citations are checked live against the published decision. Others are matched against an offline citation index or marked unverified, and every citation carries a confidence score.

Document vault

Upload PDF, Word, RTF, text, Markdown and CSV files. Documents are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, keep their version history, and are filed against a matter. From the vault you can summarise a document, pull out deadlines, check for privileged material, and compare two versions.

Contract review

Run an uploaded agreement through a 16-point checklist written for Australian law, from limitation of liability and indemnities to Australian Consumer Law compliance and unfair contract terms risk. Each item comes back present, missing, unclear or a risk, with an overall risk rating.

How contract review works

Matters and litigation tools

Organise research, documents and notes by matter, with parties and collaborators. For litigation, build a chronology by hand or by extracting dated events from the matter's documents, keep a discovery register, and run a fact gap analysis that looks across the file for facts your case needs and nothing yet establishes.

Legal Brain for litigation

Templates and clause library

More than 60 document templates across employment, commercial, corporate, property, litigation, family, criminal, immigration, tax, and wills and estates, each with fill-in fields and an AI pass to adapt the draft to your facts. A clause library of about 70 clauses in 17 categories sits alongside.

Judge profiles

Written profiles of 245 Australian judges covering background, judicial style and what tends to persuade them, weighted towards the NSW and Victorian Supreme Courts, the Federal Court and the Queensland Supreme Court. They are written profiles, last updated in March 2026, not statistics.

Questions

Is Legal Brain available now?

Legal Brain is in early access for Australian firms. Request access from the homepage and we will be in touch.

Is my data stored in Australia?

No. Research questions are anonymised and then processed by an AI provider outside Australia. Documents in the vault are encrypted at rest. The security page sets out how data is handled.

Can I add my own material to the knowledge base?

Not yet. The legislation and case law knowledge base is maintained centrally. Your own documents go in the vault, where you can summarise, review and search them within a matter.

Which jurisdictions does it cover?

All nine Australian jurisdictions can be selected. Coverage is deepest for Commonwealth law, with live Federal Register text, followed by Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. The Northern Territory, the ACT and Tasmania are thinner.
