Find the right legal professional. Conflict-free.
COUNSEL is the AI-powered legal marketplace with automated conflict-of-interest protection. Describe your matter, get matched with verified practitioners, and know that every recommendation has been ethically screened.
AI-Powered Matching
Our matching engine understands your matter and finds the right practitioner — solicitor, barrister, mediator, or paralegal.
Conflict-of-Interest Detection
Every match is automatically screened for conflicts of interest. The green shield means your practitioner is clear.
Verified Credentials
Every practitioner's practising certificate is linked to their Australian Law Society register. No self-reported credentials.
Every match is conflict-checked
A conflict of interest means your practitioner has a connection to the other side of your matter. Traditional law firms check internally. COUNSEL checks automatically — and shows you the result.

Checking
