Faster legal research for your whole firm
Caselaw gives every fee-earner an AI research aid that turns any judgment into a plain-English brief in seconds — and points straight back to the source. A fast first read for trainees and associates, on one flat firm-wide plan.
No public price list — every institution is quoted on its size and needs.
Already used by students at Oxford, Cambridge and LSE.
What your fee-earners get
A research aid built for speed and accuracy, that respects the primary source.
Get trainees to the ratio faster
A trainee handed an unfamiliar authority can read a plain-English brief — facts, issue, held, ratio, significance — in two minutes, then go to the judgment knowing what they're looking for. Faster orientation, fewer dead ends.
Coverage across every practice area
Hundreds of thousands of indexed judgments across crime, commercial, public, property, employment and more — plus the ability to generate a structured brief on any case the moment it's handed down.
A research aid, not a replacement
Caselaw is a fast first read that points back to the primary source every time. It sits alongside your authoritative platform for citation and validation — it doesn't pretend to replace it.
Predictable cost, no per-seat surprises
Firm-wide access on a flat institutional plan, not a metered counter that punishes the trainee who reads widely. Budget once, give the whole team the tool.
How it compares to legacy databases
Caselaw doesn’t replace Westlaw or LexisNexis for citation and validation. It does something they were never built to do: get a student or a junior to the point of a case in seconds, on a plan that doesn’t charge by the seat.
| Westlaw / LexisNexis seats | Caselaw | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical annual cost | £10,000–£50,000 for a research-database subscription | A fraction of that — quoted per institution, no public list |
| Pricing model | Bespoke per-seat licences | Flat institutional plan — request a quote |
| Time to the point of a case | Read the headnote, then the judgment | Plain-English brief leading with the ratio, source linked |
| Built for | Practitioners citing authority | Students learning, and juniors orientating, fast |
| Onboarding | Training sessions and seat management | A student opens it and it just works |
Cost ranges describe typical commercial research-database licensing, not a specific provider’s quote. Westlaw and LexisNexis are trademarks of their respective owners; Caselaw is independent and unaffiliated.

Questions from knowledge & L&D teams
Does Caselaw replace Westlaw or LexisNexis?+
No. Caselaw is a fast first read that always links back to the primary source. Your fee-earners still cite and validate on your authoritative platform — Caselaw just gets them oriented in seconds rather than minutes.
How much does an institutional plan cost?+
There's no public price list. Pricing depends on your size and what you need, so we quote each institution individually — typically a fraction of a research-database subscription. Request a quote and we'll come back with a tailored plan.
Can we trial it before committing?+
Yes. We set up a firm-wide trial so your trainees and associates can use it on live matters for a few weeks. You measure the time saved before any annual commitment.
Which jurisdictions are covered?+
UK, US, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Africa — over 500,000 indexed judgments in one library, with the ability to generate a structured brief on any case on demand.
Is student data and GDPR handled properly?+
Yes. We're a UK-based service and process data under UK GDPR — minimum data collected, never sold, with self-serve export and deletion. We can sign an institutional data processing agreement (DPA) as part of onboarding.
