Read an 80-page contract in 12 seconds.
Quillio reads, summarises, and flags risks in legal documents at a speed manual review cannot match — built for AU/NZ document types and legal context.
Quillio's AI document review reads contracts, leases, briefs of evidence, due diligence packs, and other legal documents in seconds. It produces a plain-English summary, flags clauses that diverge from your usual position, identifies risk areas, and suggests redlines — grounded in AU/NZ legal context. Built specifically for the document types Australian and New Zealand lawyers handle daily.
What changes
A standard 80-page commercial lease takes 2-3 hours to review manually. A 200-page due diligence pack takes a full day. A brief of evidence with hundreds of exhibits takes most of a week.
Quillio reads the same lease in 12 seconds, produces a structured summary, flags the unusual clauses, and identifies the points worth negotiating — leaving you free to apply your professional judgment to the parts that actually need it.

AI Document Review FAQs
How accurate is Quillio's document review compared to a junior lawyer?
Quillio is excellent at the structured, repetitive work that takes most of a junior's time — extracting key terms, flagging unusual clauses, building summaries, and identifying risk areas. It is not a substitute for legal judgment on strategic questions. Most lawyers using Quillio say it does the work of a careful junior, in seconds, leaving the senior to focus on judgment calls.
Does Quillio understand AU-specific document types?
Yes. Quillio is trained on AU-specific document types including Victorian Section 32 vendor disclosures, Queensland REIQ contracts, NSW commercial leases, and the standard contract forms used across Australian jurisdictions. This is a meaningful difference from US/UK-trained AI tools that can read Australian documents but do not understand their specific legal context.
What file formats does Quillio support?
PDF, Word (.docx), plain text, and scanned images (Quillio runs OCR automatically). For scanned briefs of evidence, Quillio extracts both the text and the document structure.
Can Quillio compare two versions of a contract?
Yes. Upload both versions and Quillio will identify the substantive differences, flag clauses where the change shifts risk, and produce a summary of what changed and what the implications are.
Is my document data secure when I upload it?
Yes. Quillio holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications and runs on Australian infrastructure. Your documents are stored in Australia and are not used to train any model.
How does this compare to ChatGPT for document review?
ChatGPT can summarise documents at a high level, but it has no legal-specific training, no AU jurisdiction context, no source citations, and well-documented hallucination risk on legal questions. For substantive legal document review, Quillio is the appropriate tool. See /compare/chatgpt for the full comparison.
Can I use Quillio document review inside my practice management system?
Yes. Quillio integrates with the AU practice management systems most firms use, so document review happens inside your existing matter files. See our integrations page for the current list.
