Top-tier commercial depth. Boutique speed.
Quillio gives Australian boutique commercial firms the research depth, drafting speed, and AU jurisdiction coverage of a top-tier practice — so partners keep the work, and clients keep the responsiveness.
Quillio is the AI legal assistant for Australian boutique commercial firms — M&A, commercial contracts, employment, IP, regulatory, and commercial disputes. It is trained weekly on AU commercial law, hosts data on Australian infrastructure, integrates with the PMS boutique firms actually use, and is priced per user with transparent commercial terms — so a 10-partner firm can deploy the depth of a top-tier firm without the top-tier overhead.
What gets in the way
The frustrations we hear from boutique commercial firms again and again.
You compete with top-tier firms on quality, not headcount
Boutique commercial firms win work by being sharper, faster, and more partner-led than the big end of town. But top-tier firms have KM teams, precedent libraries, and AI platforms you do not. Closing that gap without adding headcount is the whole game.
Your clients expect top-tier quality at boutique responsiveness
Sophisticated commercial clients who hire a boutique are explicitly buying partner attention and fast turnaround — on work that is often as technically demanding as what the big firms are doing. The margin for being slower or shallower is zero.
M&A, disputes, and regulatory all need real AU depth
Corporations Act, ACL, ASIC guidance, Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act, cartel law, ACCC enforcement — AU commercial law is its own body of work, and general or US-trained AI tools are not built for it.
You cannot afford a two-year enterprise AI programme
Boutique firms do not have a change team, an innovation partner, or a procurement department. You need a platform that deploys in weeks with standard commercial terms — not one that consumes a quarter of partner time.
Built for how boutique commercial firms actually work
Trained weekly on AU commercial law
Corporations Act, Competition and Consumer Act, FATA, ASIC and ACCC guidance, major M&A and disputes decisions — current AU commercial authority across the full spectrum.
AU data sovereignty for sophisticated clients
Commercial clients increasingly require AU data residency in outside counsel engagements. Quillio runs entirely on Australian infrastructure — so your engagement terms are defensible.

Per-user pricing, standard DPA, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001. No bespoke MSA or two-year programme required.
PMS-native for the systems boutiques use
Quillio integrates with the AU practice management systems boutique commercial firms actually run. AI inside the matter, not in a separate tab.
Per-user pricing, partner-level visibility
Transparent per-user pricing with volume tiers, plus an admin dashboard that gives the managing partner real visibility into usage and impact.

How does Quillio compare to Harvey for a boutique commercial firm?
Harvey is an excellent platform built primarily for AmLaw-style firms and sold through enterprise procurement. For an AU boutique commercial firm, Quillio is the better fit because it is trained weekly on AU commercial law, hosted on Australian infrastructure, integrates with the PMS boutiques actually use, and ships with standard commercial terms — deployment in weeks, not quarters. See /compare/harvey-ai for the full comparison.
Can Quillio handle M&A due diligence at deal scale?
Yes. Bulk document review across data room contents, with structured issues lists and red-flag reporting, is one of Quillio's core workflows. Boutique corporate teams use it to extend their review capacity without adding contract lawyers.
Does Quillio cover ASIC, ACCC, and sector regulators?
Yes. Quillio is trained weekly on guidance and enforcement actions from ASIC, ACCC, AUSTRAC, APRA, and sector regulators — important for boutique firms advising on regulated commercial matters.
How do you handle AU data residency for our clients?
Quillio runs entirely on Australian infrastructure. Documents, queries, and outputs never leave Australian soil — so outside counsel engagements with AU residency requirements are defensible, and your own procurement obligations under AU privacy law are supported.
How quickly can a 10-20 lawyer boutique deploy Quillio firm-wide?
Most boutique commercial firms are deployed firm-wide within 2-3 weeks. That includes pilot, PMS integration, partner orientation, and associate training. The free trial lets a pilot team get started immediately, while the commercial conversation runs in parallel.
What is the commercial model for a firm our size?
Per-user per month with volume tiers — published on our pricing page. Standard DPA and commercial terms, no bespoke MSA required for most boutique deployments. Your managing partner can read the contract in an hour, not a week.
Try Quillio on your own work.
For a boutique commercial firm, the strongest evaluation path is a one-practice-group pilot on real matters — typically corporate, disputes, or employment — running alongside a PMS integration conversation. The free trial requires no credit card, no sales call, and no procurement cycle — pick the team that most wants AI, give them the trial, and see how fast it translates into partner-visible impact.
