Legal research that answers the question — with the authority behind it.
Ask a research question in plain English and Quillio returns an answer grounded in Australian and New Zealand authority — legislation, High Court and appellate decisions — with citations you can open and check, so the lawyer verifies rather than starts from a blank search.
Quillio AI legal research lets a lawyer ask a question in plain English and get a written answer drawn from Australian and New Zealand law, with each point linked to the authority behind it. It is built for AU/NZ jurisdictions rather than US case law, every answer carries citations the lawyer can open and verify, and the lawyer keeps responsibility for the final advice — Quillio gives a faster, cited starting point, not an unchecked result.
What it does
Instead of building a Boolean search and reading through a long results list, the lawyer asks Quillio a question the way they would ask a colleague. Quillio answers against Australian and New Zealand legislation and case law, explains how the authority applies to the question, and cites its sources so the lawyer can confirm each point. Follow-up questions narrow the issue, and the research can be turned into a draft memo or file note. The lawyer reviews and verifies before relying on anything — the citations make that quick.
What you can do
Ask in plain English
Pose the question as you would to a junior — no Boolean operators or database syntax. Dictation is supported, so you can ask hands-free between matters.
Grounded in AU/NZ authority
Answers draw on Australian and New Zealand legislation and case law — not US authority — and explain how each source applies to your question.
Citations you can verify
Every point is linked to the authority behind it, so the lawyer can open the source and confirm it before relying on the answer.
Follow the thread
Ask follow-up questions to narrow the issue, test an argument from the other side, or surface related considerations you had not thought to search for.
Turn research into a draft
Carry the research straight into a draft memo, advice, or file note, with the citations included, ready for the lawyer to refine.

AI Legal Research — questions
How do I know the answer is accurate?
Every answer is linked to the Australian and New Zealand authority it relies on, so you can open each source and confirm it before relying on the answer. The lawyer remains the final check — Quillio gives a cited starting point, not a result to take on trust.
Is it built for Australian and New Zealand law?
Yes. Research is grounded in Australian and New Zealand legislation and case law, including federal and state jurisdictions and New Zealand authority — not US case law. That is a real difference from tools whose research assumes US jurisdictions.
Does this replace the lawyer's judgement?
No. Quillio speeds up the research and gives you cited material to work from, but the analysis, advice, and responsibility stay with the lawyer. It is built to support professional judgement, not replace it.
Is my research confidential and secure?
Quillio holds ISO 27001:2022 certification and a SOC 2 Type II attestation, and is aligned to IRAP, the Australian Privacy Principles, and GDPR. Your data is stored in Australia and is never used to train any model, and an enterprise option keeps all AI processing in Australia. Quillio is Australian owned and operated, headquartered in Sydney.
