You already know the problem

Whether you're a sole GC, a small in-house team, or a risk and compliance function, you're expected to advise across a vast range of issues with limited resources. The current options aren't built for how you actually work.

External counsel is expensive and slow

Every question you send out costs hundreds per hour and days of turnaround. You're recieving answers on timelines that don't match how fast your business moves.

🌐

Generic AI doesn't understand Australian law

ChatGPT gives you plausible answers dressed in Australian terminology. When you're advising a board, plausible isn't precise. And the gap between those two is dangerous. You need an AUDITABLE research and legal insight platform.

👥

Your team can't scale to match the workload

Small in-house teams and compliance functions are expected to cover the same breadth as large legal departments. You don't have dedicated specialists for every area. You need leverage and from somewhere else.

The Habeas Difference

A thought partner that earns your trust with every answer

Habeas is a specialist AI legal intelligence platform that understands Australian court hierarchies, jurisdictional nuance, and regulatory frameworks deeply enough to be the thinking partner your in-house team has always needed.

Depth, not guesswork

Australian law. Real precision. Verified citations.

Habeas is trained on over 300,000 Australian legal documents. Every output is grounded in real sources you can verify. No hallucinated cases. No US law in disguise. Just the jurisdictional depth and specificity that Australian legal work demands.

A thinking partner, not a yes-machine

Intellectually serious. No performative enthusiasm.

Generic LLMs are trained to agree with you. Habeas is built to reason with you. It qualifies, structures, and tells you when something depends on factors you haven't considered. The tone reads like a sharp colleague, not an eager intern.

Not generic AI.
Legal reasoning built from the ground up.
Habeas feels like having a law firm in your pocket. It's not something you blindly rely on, but a powerful first-line thinking partner that fundamentally changes how you work. The productivity uplift is immediate.

Why Australian in-house teams choose Habeas over generic AI

We're not competing with ChatGPT on breadth. We're built for the depth and precision that Australian legal work actually requires.
