"Habeas is the first AI legal research tool that has truly felt fit for purpose to me, as an Australian lawyer. The quality of output is stark and provides a true copilot experience. For junior lawyers, it’s been a fantastic aid as they sharpen their legal research tools, and for me, it’s been a great go-to and saved me hours of doing my own research. Habeas is the perfect companion for lawyers who need to get across new areas of law with minimal friction. It’s hard to remember what legal research used to be like."

In the last few years of experimenting with AI, I've found its legal research capabilities to be pretty underwhelming. However I have found a genuinely useful research tool in Habeas. The difference is its agentic approach that builds off more traditional search methods and ties the results to publicly available case law and legislation, always cited with relevant extracts produced. It is genuinely helpful and it's also far more affordable for tiny practices like mine.

"Over the past few years, I’ve watched Habeas mature from a clever demo into a platform that solves a very real pain point for lawyers in our network - surfacing the right precedent in seconds, not hours. In an industry that often lags on tech adoption, Habeas feels like the rare product that’s both sophisticated under the hood and simple enough to slot straight into a lawyer’s day. If you care about better research, faster outcomes, and happier clients, this is a tool worth paying attention to."

"Habeas is a specialist’s tool: precise, efficient and designed with Australian legal practitioners in mind. What impressed me most was the consistency of Habeas’s output. Even on issues I’d already thoroughly researched, the platform reliably retrieved authorities with pinpoint accuracy at paragraph level and distilled the judicial reasoning into concise, well-structured summaries. Habeas stands out for its local depth, speed, and practitioner-centric design."

"As a lawyer, my biggest fear is walking into court and discovering I’ve missed a critical authority. Habeas has pretty much eliminated that anxiety. I can phrase a question in plain English, and within two seconds it returns pinpoint-cited judgments. It's so much better than the search tools we are used to dealing with as lawyers, because it's more intuitive to search in natural language queries. It’s shaved hours off every brief and lets me spend that time sharpening arguments instead of trawling databases."
