Questions, answered directly

lawyerbase is a global legal-intelligence platform — a system that reasons within the law and shows its proof, rather than a search box or a chatbot. It reads statutes, codes, and treaties across twelve-plus jurisdictions and answers with the authorities behind every line, the reasoning visible, and an honest note wherever the law is unsettled. It strengthens a lawyer's judgment; it never replaces it.

Independent, peer-reviewed research (Magesh, Surani, Dahl, Suzgun, Manning, Ho — Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, 2025) found that leading commercial legal AI systems fabricate or misground citations 17–33% of the time, even ones marketed as “hallucination-free.” lawyerbase takes the opposite architecture: every claim is tied to a real, openable authority, and an independent grounding audit compares each statement against the exact passage it cites before the answer reaches you. What cannot be supported is not presented as supported. The full pipeline is documented on the methodology page.

The corpus spans statutes, codes, and treaties across the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Türkiye, Japan, India, Canada, Australia, Spain, and Ireland — and expands continuously. Every document is content-addressed with a cryptographic fingerprint and a recorded chain of custody. For any matter, the reasoning is assembled for the specific field — maritime, tax, competition, employment, IP, family, and more — like a dedicated specialist.

Yes. Contract Studio maps an uploaded contract clause by clause, types each clause by what it actually does — indemnity, limitation of liability, termination, assignment, and beyond — and reviews it against the governing law itself, with the statute cited next to each risk it raises. You can also question the document directly: what happens on early termination, who bears the risk, where the caps bite. PDFs up to 50MB are supported; text is extracted in your browser before anything leaves your machine.

Those tools surface relevant text and summarize it — which means that to use them safely, you must verify every claim by hand, destroying the time they save. The difference in lawyerbase is architectural, not cosmetic: verification is built into every answer. Each statement arrives with its authority attached and pre-checked by an independent audit pass, so verifying takes seconds instead of hours. Where those tools answer with uniform confidence, lawyerbase names the splits and shows the competing lines.

Three audiences: practising lawyers and in-house counsel who need verifiable, defensible research; legal scholars and law students working across jurisdictions; and the far larger population who need legal help but cannot easily reach or afford a lawyer — the access-to-justice gap that most legal technology never touches.

Nothing, right now. While the doors are open, the full platform is free — no tiers, no locked features, no “contact sales.” We never ask for a card, so nothing can be silently charged when the free period ends. Paid plans will be announced on this site before free access closes, with clear notice to every account — and you decide then whether to continue. Create an account and it is all included.

No. lawyerbase is a research and reasoning tool — a support mechanism. Using it does not create an attorney–client relationship, and it never decides for you. For decisions that carry legal consequences, consult a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction. What lawyerbase changes is the cost of being careful: the proof arrives with the answer, so you — or your counsel — can verify it in seconds.
