Legal and compliance
A research workspace that respects jurisdiction.
For lawyers, compliance officers, in-house counsel, and policy analysts. Build a private library from the statutes, regulations, case law, and contracts you work from — and ask questions that come back with citations you can actually file.
One document, three questions, no account required.
Jurisdiction
Every citation carries its jurisdiction.
Most question-answering tools treat case names as bare text. Cognoir surfaces the court and jurisdiction by default — a U.S. Supreme Court decision says so; a House of Lords matter on Scottish appeal says so.
When the source doesn’t state a jurisdiction, Cognoir flags the gap rather than inferring one. Jurisdiction is the most common silent error in automated legal research; here it’s surfaced, not guessed.
Authority
Primary sources, separated from commentary.
Statutes, regulations, and case law are tagged primary at ingestion. Treatises and practitioner notes are tagged secondary. Unenacted text is labelled draft — with its draft date, so you never quote it into a brief.
The distinction is preserved through retrieval. You can ask Cognoir to answer only from primary sources when the question requires it.
Conflicts
Contract conflicts surface in one question.
Upload a master agreement, an SOW, and a counterparty’s redline. Ask where they disagree on indemnity, or which has the most permissive termination-for-convenience clause — and Cognoir locates the clauses with a citation to the section and page of each.
It’s the review a senior associate runs by hand across a stack of agreements. Cognoir does the location step; the judgement stays with the lawyer.
What you can upload
Web pages come in as their native source type; scanned pages are read by OCR. 50 MB per file. In-house compliance work — policy mapping, regulatory change-tracking, quarterly attestation — is handled as a first-class document type, cited in the section / sub-section / paragraph form regulatory writing uses. Plans differ on library size and shared workspaces; see the pricing page.
Built for work that has to hold up.
Citations you can file.
Every answer cites the section and page — auditable against the source in two clicks.
Client data isn't training data.
Your documents aren't used to train models — ours or anyone else's. Workspaces are isolated per customer.
Delete is delete.
Removed from storage and the search index — no soft deletes, no shadow copies.
A note on professional responsibility
Cognoir is a research tool, not legal advice. The citations it surfaces are auditable in two clicks; the inferences it draws need a human lawyer’s judgement before they go to a client. Practising-rule restrictions on routing client work through third-party processors vary by jurisdiction.
See whether the citations hold up.
Upload a brief, a statute, or a stack of contracts. Ask three questions. Decide for yourself whether the citations are ones you could file.
No credit card. Pick your specialism in onboarding to enable these conventions by default.
