Daily Challenges
- First-pass research on a new matter consuming hours before the real analysis begins
- Checking whether a decision a colleague cited actually says what they think it says
- Contract review that needs the governing legislation checked clause by clause
- Client questions that need a considered written answer today
- Supervision obligations that make unreviewed AI output unusable
- Client material that cannot leave Australia or be retained by a tool provider
How Cassandra Helps
Cited First-Pass Research
Commonwealth and state legislation and reported decisions named in every output
Contract Review
Clause-level review against the applicable statute and case law
Drafting for Review
Research memos and advice frameworks structured for a supervising practitioner
Australian Data Residency
Client material stays in Australian regions and is not used for training
Practical Workflow Examples
- New commercial dispute: ask for the elements and leading authorities on the cause of action, receive the statute and decisions cited, then read the authorities directly
- Contract review: check a limitation-of-liability clause against the Australian Consumer Law and relevant decisions, with the provisions cited
- Advice letter: draft the framework with the authorities named, then apply judgement and sign off
- Verifying a citation: confirm what a decision actually held before relying on it in a submission
Why Generic AI Falls Short
- Consumer AI fabricates case citations — Australian courts have sanctioned practitioners for filing them
- It has no concept of supervision or of what a draft for review looks like
- Client material pasted into it may leave Australia and be retained
- None of it is defensible to a client, an insurer or the regulator
