What Legal Brain does, feature by feature, and where each one stops. Built for Australian solicitors, barristers and firms who need to check an answer, not take it on trust.
By practice: employment law, contract review, litigation.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One filterable feed drawing on 33 sources: courts, law reform commissions, legal media and the published insights of major Australian firms, tagged by practice area.
Share a matter with a client through a secure link: updates, the documents you choose and the chronology, with no password for the client and an activity log for you.

Contracts, briefs and correspondence, classified on upload and filed against the right matter.
Clause-by-clause analysis of an uploaded agreement, with the risky terms called out and explained.

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.
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.
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.
