Legal research uses governed AI with citation checking. Connections to paid publishers (such as Lexis or Jade) are only available when your firm has a signed arrangement — pilot demos may use sample cases, not a live publisher feed.
Record time in the CounselOS web app, including activity hints while you work in the browser. Microsoft Word and Outlook add-ins are available on Professional and Enterprise plans.
Conflict checking helps your team spot potential issues across clients and matters. It supports your professional judgment — principals can hold matters and approve releases when needed.
Trust accounting is built for Australian state and territory rules. Migration validation and external accountant review are part of standard onboarding for firms moving from another platform.
Immigration and visa workflow tools are enabled per registered migration agency or immigration law firm after onboarding — not every CounselOS account includes them on day one. We will confirm what is live for you before go-live.
Registered migration agents use a dedicated client-money ledger for OMARA compliance. This is separate from legal trust accounting used by law firms. CounselOS does not claim OMARA endorsement or audit certification — your registered agent remains responsible for compliance.
Immigration AI assists with drafts such as fee proposals, RFI checklists, and research memos — always reviewed by a registered migration agent or lawyer before use. CounselOS does not provide visa eligibility chatbots or grant-probability estimates.
