What you can do. And what is live.

SRA Code + LPP framing, in a solicitor's voice

N1, N9, N9A, N9B, N180, N181, N215, N244, N265 — reachable, previewable and downloadable as real PDFs (keyless demo included), and "Prefill from matter" now populates the real AcroForm fields (claimant, defendant, claim details) from the selected matter. Verified against the actual HMCTS PDFs, not stub maps.

On-demand jurisdiction-native client matter-update letter/email — summarises key developments since last communication, outstanding items, next steps, billing-estimate update; tone matches solicitor's configured voice; client data stays inside the firm boundary (reconciler-gated + egress-gated).

German and Spanish statutory deadline and costs calculations, on the matter screen the way the German fee calculator already is

Tick the specialties your firm actually practises; everything downstream obeys the list

Every specialty for your market starts ticked; you untick what the firm does not do. A firm working in two legal systems curates each market separately. The list is a gate rather than a menu — a specialist you have not got cannot be put on a matter, and one you withdraw after a matter already had it stops reaching that matter's drafting, chat and adversary review.

Pick the specialists for a matter yourself; the record shows who picked them and when

One lead specialist, chosen by a person, plus any supporting ones — recorded against whoever chose them and when. The practice card beside it may say what the matter looks like; that guess never becomes specialist context and never reaches a prompt. The same chosen context is what intake, drafting, chat, adversary review and the reasoning ledger read.

Add your firm's own material to a specialist, permanently labelled as yours

On Enterprise a firm adds its own document kinds, terms of art, citation forms, deadline dates, amounts and concerns to a specialist it already has on its list. The anchor statutes are deliberately not amendable — a firm adds what it checks for, it does not restate the law. What it adds stays marked as the firm's own on screen, in the prompt and in the exported ledger, and can never be shown as something a lawyer checked.

Withhold ANY privileged matter file from AI / CRM egress — the privileged file never leaves the firm boundary, while the assistant still answers from the matter's disclosable, PII-pseudonymised documents (and names the withheld files). PL absolute (tajemnica zawodowa art. 6 PoA + art. 3 uoRP); UK strong (privileged + unknown). Unknown class treated AS IF privileged across every external destination — solicitor must classify the file or explicitly confirm per-egress.

59 identifier classes across all five markets, reversible in the browser, applied to the message, the system instruction, retrieved documents, every tool result and the replayed history — with two named exceptions (dictation clean-up, screenshots)

Per-matter log of every AI invocation; export disclosure pack to client (SRA 2.1 + RODO art. 22 + EU AI Act art. 50/52)

One-click "Generate DSAR Pack" → machine-readable JSON (art. 20 portability) + statutory PDF cover

The assistant reads every document you add, and this is where that reading adds up — a chronology, the issues, and which document speaks to each. It tells you at the top how much of the file it actually got through, and names anything it could not read or was not allowed to send.

It states its own coverage before its conclusions, so a picture built over a half-read bundle can never be mistaken for a complete one — and in Poland, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain the privileged documents are analysed on the solicitor's own device and never sent for assembly at all.

Every matter keeps its own append-only audit log, approvals record, and change history

Per-matter `AUDIT.hashchain.jsonl` — one SHA-256 chain link per AUDIT.md row (`{seq, prev_hash, content_hash, chain_hash}`). Daily HMAC-signed seal in `AUDIT.dailyseal.jsonl` per UTC day. Verifier walks chain + flags first-broken row + reason ("row edited / row removed / chain reordered"). Non-destructive — AUDIT.md unchanged for solicitors / auditors. SoC-grade tamper-evidence. Distinct from P4 Reasoning Ledger (lighter scope, ships now).

Every document moves DRAFT → REVIEWED → APPROVED → SIGNED → FILED → SERVED with role-gated transitions and an append-only approvals trail; one status across every view

Per-matter audit log → filter (time / source / severity / free-text) → CSV + PDF export. The PDF carries the regulator header for the firm's own jurisdiction — for an England & Wales firm, ICO + SRA + COLP with the 6-year retention basis (SRA Code 6.4 + Limitation Act 1980 s.5) — plus **tamper-evidence integrity status** (✓ verified intact / ⚠ broken at row N because X) and a signature footer. Solicitor-signed evidence ready for regulator scrutiny.

Drop a folder or a zip — 22 formats are read (PDF, Word, Outlook .msg, .eml, Excel, RTF, XML, HTML, WhatsApp exports, scans via OCR) and the 9 a browser cannot read say so by name and tell you what to do instead

Drop a folder or ZIP into the matter and its readable contents become searchable case material for source-linked drafting, answers and review. Scanned PDFs go through OCR rather than disappearing as empty pages; formats a browser cannot safely read are named, refused and paired with the next practical step.

33-statute lookup + anchor+walk-back parser + lookup-aware truncation + self-check probe

Solicitor drafts inside Word; drafter, adversary pass, opponent intel, firm-playbook check, tracked-change redlines and filing to the firm's document system are all callable from the Word task pane against the chosen matter. The matter's own jurisdiction picks the drafter, so an English, Polish, German, Dutch or Spanish matter each produces its own court document rather than an English one. Output writes back to the selection only on an explicit click, and not at all if the response came back refused or incomplete or the selection moved while it ran.

Word remains the solicitor's working surface while Avantwerk brings in the selected matter's jurisdiction, evidence and firm rules. It can draft, challenge a selection, apply the firm's playbook, create tracked-change redlines and file the open document — but writes back only after an explicit click and never from a refused or incomplete response.

Adds a fourth bring-your-own-key AI provider for chat drafting, alongside the existing providers (separate from the on-device voice-transcription option that already ships)

Solicitor sees Avantwerk inside Outlook on read-message / compose-message / calendar-attendee / calendar-organiser surfaces, each handled as itself. Match this email or calendar entry to a matter (an uncertain match is offered, never pre-selected), file it to correspondence once however many times you click, draft a matter-anchored reply in the matter's own language, and read deadlines out of the text in that market's own date forms for confirmation before any reach the timeline. The pane opens on the item in front of you; it does not watch your mailbox.

Outlook works on the message or appointment the solicitor has opened. It proposes a matter without silently choosing an uncertain match, files the item once, drafts a reply from that matter's context and turns detected dates into proposed deadlines that still require confirmation.

Excel ribbon → "Open Avantwerk" task pane → choose the market → select a column of that market's counterparty identifiers → each row is checked against that market's own register (Companies House for the UK with the firm's own credential; Biała Lista VAT plus KRS officer enrichment for Poland, both open) and, if the box is ticked, screened against the consolidated sanctions list the firm has imported → results written beside the selection. The German, Dutch and Spanish company registers are not connected — those rows say so and link to the register, and every row that could not be checked is flagged, so a blank never reads as a pass. Uniquely Excel-shaped — neither Word nor Outlook handles spreadsheet-driven batch CDD.

Excel handles the job that belongs in rows rather than prose. Select a column of counterparties, run the registers available for that market and optional sanctions screening, then receive the result beside each row; an unavailable check is visibly unavailable, never an empty cell that looks clean.

Pay by card inside the app — checkout opens on a secure page hosted by our payment processor, card details never touch the product, and the subscription or top-up activates the moment payment completes. Referral credits and prepay top-ups run on the same billing spine.

On a UK VAT number the product checks the format (9 or 12 digits), then opens HMRC's own public "Check a UK VAT number" service so you can confirm the registration and record the registered name, address and date checked back onto the matter. It does not look the number up for you: the check is yours, made on HMRC's page, and the product keeps the record of it. Automatic resolution of the registered name and address is not available yet - it needs production access from HMRC, which is still under review with them, and until that lands this stays a guided check rather than an automated one.
