About the Client

A scale‑up that has spent the last two years making advanced legal reasoning accessible through natural language. Our platform combines search, vector databases and large language models to provide lawyers with instant access to case law and legislation. We're now expanding rapidly: adding a legal research casebase (similar to AustLII/Jade.io), agentic workflows, legal practice management and Microsoft Word integrations to create an all‑in‑one legal workplace platform with the AI capabilities of Harvey and the casebase power of Lexis AI+.
