What we built

Not a search engine.
A legal reasoning engine.

LexisNexis returns a list of links. We return a final-draft research memo with verified citations, judge analytics, and living case alerts. Here's how each pillar works.

⚡
Agentic AI Research
Describe your case in plain language. The AI reads 4.2M cases, applies the correct legal tests (Bardal, Potter, Oakes), and produces a draft research memo — not a list of blue links.
📝
Auto Memo Builder
One click generates a court-ready research memo: Issue, Applicable Law, Analysis, Risk Assessment, Recommendations — with proper McGill citations throughout. Export to Word instantly.
⚖️
Zero-Entry Judge Analytics
Know your judge's win/loss rate on your specific motion type before you file. Opposing counsel history. Predicted outcome. All automatically compiled — no manual query-building required.
📁
Living Folders
Upload your key authorities into a matter folder. The AI monitors every new Canadian decision and alerts you the moment any case cites your authority negatively — before your next deadline.
↔️
AI Document Comparison
Upload any contract or agreement. AI flags every clause that deviates from market standard, identifies enforceability risks with case law citations, and suggests specific redlines.
🔗
Citation Network Mapping
Visualize how cases cite each other. Find the strongest precedent chain in seconds. See at a glance which authorities are still good law and which have been overturned or distinguished.
🔔
Real-Time Law Alerts
Set watchers on any statute, regulation, or practice area. Get notified within 24 hours when legislation receives Royal Assent or new regulations are filed under your watched Acts.
🔌
Clio & Word Integration
Research time auto-billed to Clio matters. The Word add-in lets you look up cases, verify citations, and insert authorities — without leaving your document. Works inside any Word file.
🛡️
Zero Hallucinations Guarantee
Every AI citation links to a verified document in our database. If our AI ever cites a case that doesn't exist, we refund your month. This is a contractual commitment, not a marketing claim.
Why switch

Better than Westlaw.
At a fraction of the cost.

Westlaw costs $400–$800/month per seat and locks you into 3-year contracts. We charge $225/month, month-to-month. Here's the full comparison.

Common questions

We've heard every reason
lawyers don't switch.

"I've used Westlaw for 15 years. Switching is risky."
Our onboarding takes 10 minutes. Most lawyers find cases faster on day one because natural language search is faster than boolean. We offer a dedicated migration session for any firm switching from Westlaw or Quicklaw.
"Can I actually trust AI-generated legal research?"
Every single citation our AI produces links to a verified document in our database. If it can't verify a citation, it doesn't include it. Period. We back this with a contractual refund guarantee — no other legal AI platform does this.
"Is my client information safe? What about privilege?"
Your queries are encrypted end-to-end, never stored after your session, and never used to train our models. We are SOC 2 Type II certified and comply with PIPEDA and all Law Society data protection guidelines.
"What if the coverage isn't as complete as Westlaw?"
We pull from the same primary sources: CanLII, Justice Laws Canada, and all official court databases. We cover the same 4.2M+ Canadian decisions. Try it free — compare against whatever you currently use. Most lawyers find our coverage equal or better for Canadian law.
"Our firm has a negotiated rate with LexisNexis."
At $225/month per seat vs. their typical $350–$600 after negotiation, you're still likely saving $1,500–$4,500/year per lawyer. Our Firm plan at $599/month covers 10 seats — that's $60/seat. No negotiation required.
"I'm worried about the learning curve."
If you can type a sentence, you can use this platform. Natural language is the interface. No boolean operators, no field codes, no training seminars. We also have live onboarding support for every new subscriber.
Social proof

Lawyers who made
the switch.

"I cancelled my Quicklaw subscription the same week I signed up. The AI memo builder alone saves me 5–6 hours of research every week. I don't know how I practiced employment law without this."

Sarah B.
Employment Partner, Toronto
"The Living Folders feature caught a negative treatment citation on my key Waksdale authority three days before a major motion. That single alert was worth a year of subscription fees. Nothing else does this automatically."
MK
Michael K.
Civil Litigator, Vancouver
"Knowing that Perell J. awards plaintiffs 74% of the time on summary judgment motions changed how I advised my client before we filed. That data used to take 3 hours to compile manually. Now it's instant."
JP
Jennifer P.
Partner, Ottawa Boutique Firm
"Every citation links to the actual CanLII document. I've stress-tested this extensively — it does not hallucinate. That's the entire product promise and they actually deliver on it. Other legal AI tools cannot say the same."
DL
David L.
Corporate Counsel, Calgary
"As a solo practitioner, I now have the same research depth as a Bay Street firm — at 1/10th the cost. The document comparison tool alone has helped me flag three unenforceable termination clauses my clients brought in."

Zero Hallucinations Guarantee

If our AI ever cites a Canadian case or statute that does not exist in our verified database, we will refund your entire month's subscription — automatically, no request required. This is a contractual commitment. No other legal AI platform offers this.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — contractually. Every AI response links every citation to its verified source document in our database. If the AI produces a citation that doesn't exist in the database (a "hallucination"), we automatically refund your month. In our beta period, this has never been triggered once. We built the system specifically to prevent it: the AI only cites documents it can retrieve from our verified index.
New decisions are indexed within 24 hours of publication on official court websites. For Canadian federal and provincial legislation, we pull directly from Justice Laws Canada and all provincial legislative databases. CanLII decisions are indexed via API. Our Lawstronaut integration provides redundant real-time coverage. You will always have current law.
Yes — one click, no cancellation fees, no questions asked. Monthly plans cancel effective at the end of your current billing period. Annual plans can cancel for a prorated refund of unused months if cancelled within 60 days of renewal. We don't make cancellation difficult. If you want to leave, we want to know why — but we won't make it hard.
Yes. All 14 Canadian jurisdictions: Federal, Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland & Labrador, Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut. Coverage depth varies — Ontario, BC, Alberta, and Federal are deepest. All include full case law and primary legislation.
Your queries and any uploaded documents are encrypted end-to-end in transit and at rest. We do not retain query content after your session ends. We never use your searches to train AI models. We are SOC 2 Type II certified. Our data practices are compliant with PIPEDA and the data protection guidelines of all Canadian law societies. Many firms have completed their own privacy reviews and approved our platform.
Connect your Clio account via OAuth in Settings. Once connected, every research session can be tagged to a matter — time is automatically logged as a billable entry in Clio. Matter names and numbers sync bi-directionally. You can also pull matter details from Clio to pre-fill research context. The integration also supports PCLaw, MyCase, and Practice Panther.
Yes — contact us for Enterprise pricing. We have firms with 50–200 seats on custom agreements. Enterprise includes dedicated infrastructure, custom SLAs, on-site training, custom integrations, and volume pricing. Email enterprise@thelegalwhisperers.ca or use the chat widget below.

⚡ AI Summary:
4 material deviations found. Termination clause has Waksdale enforceability risk. Non-solicitation period is 3× market standard. Governing law clause may not override Ontario ESA protections.
Your Draftemployment_agreement_v3.docx

8. Termination of Employment

8.1 The Company may terminate the Employee's employment at any time without cause by providing two (2) weeks' written notice for each completed year of service, to a maximum of twenty-six (26) weeks, or pay in lieu thereof.

⚠ Waksdale risk: This clause does not reference ESA minimums. If the companion "for cause" clause (s.8.2) is void, this entire section fails per Waksdale v. Swegon (2020 ONCA 391). Recommend adding ESA floor language and reviewing the "for cause" provision.

8.2 For Cause. The Company may terminate the Employee's employment at any time for just cause including but not limited to dishonesty, insubordination, or unsatisfactory performance, without notice or compensation.

⚠ Vagueness risk: "Unsatisfactory performance" as a standalone just-cause ground is unlikely to survive scrutiny. Courts require a high threshold. This may void the entire clause under Waksdale.

9. Non-Solicitation

9.1 For thirty-six (36) months following termination, the Employee shall not solicit any customers or prospective customers of the Company.

⚠ Likely unenforceable: 36 months + "prospective customers" language exceeds market standard. Courts apply reasonableness test per Shafron v. KRG Insurance (2009 SCC 6). Blue-pencilling may not save this.

12. Governing Law

12.1 This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, notwithstanding where the Employee performs services.

⚠ Jurisdictional override risk: If Employee works in Ontario, ESA 2000 s.5 protections cannot be waived. Alberta choice-of-law may be unenforceable as against Ontario minimum standards.
Market Standard (Ontario 2024)

8. Termination of Employment

8.1 The Company may terminate the Employee's employment at any time without cause by providing the greater of: (a) the minimum notice or pay in lieu required by the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (as amended); or (b) [X] weeks' written notice or pay in lieu. Nothing in this Agreement limits the Employee's rights under the ESA.

8.2 For Cause. The Company may terminate the Employee's employment at any time for just cause as defined at common law, without notice or compensation beyond any minimum entitlements under the ESA that cannot be waived.

9. Non-Solicitation

9.1 For twelve (12) months following termination, the Employee shall not solicit any existing customers of the Company with whom the Employee had material contact during the final 12 months of employment.

12. Governing Law

12.1 This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, regardless of conflict of law rules.
