Built for chambers, not for spreadsheets.
Quillio gives Australian and New Zealand barristers fast, citation-grounded legal research, brief analysis, automated chronologies, and voice dictation — sized for an independent practice.
Quillio is the AI legal assistant for Australian and New Zealand barristers and independent counsel. It is trained weekly on AU/NZ case law and legislation, includes source citations on every research result, supports brief analysis and automated chronology creation, and is priced per user with a free trial — sized for an independent practice or chambers, not for a 500-lawyer firm.
What gets in the way
The frustrations we hear from barristers again and again.
Brief preparation eats your week
Reading 800 pages of evidence, building a chronology, finding the leading authorities, and drafting outline submissions takes most of a barrister's preparation time. AI that handles the volume is the difference between a busy week and a panicked one.
You need source citations or you cannot use it
A barrister citing a fabricated case is a career-ending event. General AI tools that hallucinate authority are not just unhelpful — they are dangerous. You need a tool grounded in verified AU/NZ authority.
You work alone or with a junior, not in an enterprise IT department
Most legal AI is sold to firms with procurement teams. As a barrister, you sign up yourself, configure it yourself, and need it to work the moment you load it.
Dictation matters more in chambers than anywhere
Barristers think out loud. Voice-to-text that turns spoken outline submissions into structured drafts is genuinely useful — most legal AI does not do this well.

Is Quillio safe for a barrister to use given hallucination risk?
Yes — and this is exactly why we built it. Quillio is grounded in a verified AU/NZ legal corpus, and every research output includes a source citation linking to the underlying authority you can verify. Unlike general AI tools, Quillio does not invent case citations. The cases that have damaged lawyers in courts in Australia, the US, and the UK all involved general-purpose AI without legal-specific training and source grounding — exactly the gap Quillio closes.
Can Quillio analyse a brief of evidence?
Yes. Upload the brief and Quillio will produce a structured summary, identify key issues, build a chronology of events, and surface the most relevant authorities. This is one of the most popular Quillio workflows for barristers.
Does Quillio understand court rules and practice directions?
Quillio is trained on practice notes and court rules across all Australian jurisdictions and NZ. It knows the difference between Federal Court and state Supreme Court procedural requirements, and updates weekly when rules change.
How does Quillio handle voice dictation?
Quillio supports voice-to-text dictation that converts spoken notes into structured legal text — drafted in AU legal style, not generic transcription. Useful for outline submissions, file notes, and attendance notes.
Is there a chambers / barrister discount?
Quillio's standard per-user pricing is already sized for an independent practice — there is no minimum seat count and no enterprise markup. Talk to us if you are setting up Quillio across an entire chambers; volume discounts apply for multi-user deployments.
Can I trust Quillio with privileged client material?
Yes. Quillio holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications and runs on Australian infrastructure with full data sovereignty. Your client material stays on Australian soil and never leaves the country.
Try Quillio on your own work.
