Legal intelligence · Lawyer-led

AI a lawyer can stake their licence on.

A defensible foundation under AI-assisted legal work. The lawyer carries the matter. Gleg carries it with them — structure, source, and audit trail beneath every step. Built by lawyers, for lawyers.

Speak to the team Why this is different

The problem

AI in legal practice has a defensibility problem.

Document overload

A complex matter has many hundreds of pages. Lawyers spend most of their day finding facts instead of practising law.

AI you cannot trust

Lawyers who have relied on AI-fabricated citations have been fined, referred to disciplinary bodies, and publicly censured.

What Gleg does

Structure under the matter. Defensibility built in.

Gleg sits inside Australian legal practice. The point is not faster work. The point is defensible work — on a foundation a senior partner is willing to put their name to.

For lawyers, not generalists

Procedure, professional rules, and the standard of preparation expected of a competent practitioner are the starting point — not an afterthought.

Why this is different

A foundation, not a feature.

AI in legal practice is only as defensible as the structure underneath it. Gleg's contribution is the structure.

Defensibility, not just output.

Defensibility is the foundation, not a feature added later. The lawyer stays in control of the matter.

The matter is the unit.

Gleg is organised around the matter the lawyer is responsible for — not around the documents that happen to come with it.

Built inside legal practice.

Australian procedure — the practice notes, the rules, the standards — by a practising solicitor working live matters.

Who it is for

Mid-tier Australian firms.

Gleg is designed for the Australian firm that feels the document load most — five to fifty lawyers, where preparation discipline is a partner-level concern and the principal can sign the contract.

The firm behind Gleg

Built inside Jake McKinley — formerly Foulsham & Geddes, founded 1973.

From a law-firm owner who couldn't find the right tool.

Jacob Carswell-Doherty took over the practice in 2014 and rebranded it as Jake McKinley in 2024. Fifty-three years of continuous Sydney practice. The active matter file informs every workstream Gleg supports.
