Will AI replace lawyers?

No. It shortens research and preparation but makes no decisions. Legal assessment, strategy and responsibility towards the client stay with the lawyer. In practice the work shifts from searching to reviewing.

Where do Alawyer answers come from?

From published legal sources: national statute databases, supreme court case law, EU law and public registers. Every statement carries its exact citation so it can be checked against the original text.

How reliable are the answers?

Alawyer identifies citations so users can review the legal basis in the original sources. This improves traceability but does not make a result infallible. The facts, sources and conclusions must be reviewed by a responsible person before a decision is made.

Which countries and areas of law are covered?

Alawyer covers EU law and national legal sources from several EU Member States. The goal is to cover every EU jurisdiction; the rollout is taking place step by step and may vary by country, area of law and source type. Research includes statutes, regulations, case law, public registers and, where available, legal literature.

What happens to my data and documents?

Processing and storage take place exclusively in data centres inside the EU, GDPR-compliant and encrypted. Optionally, personal, address and contact data are pseudonymised locally before a document is processed.

Can I use legal AI in day-to-day law firm work?

Yes, as long as confidentiality and duties of care are preserved. That is what EU hosting, pseudonymisation, audit logs and role-based access are for. The lawyer’s review of the result remains a professional duty and is not replaced.

What does Alawyer cost?

There is a free entry plan with a monthly credit allowance plus Pro, Business and Enterprise plans. Billing is credit-based, so you pay for actual usage; companies can trial Alawyer free for three months.

Why do I find Alawyer when searching for "AI Lawyer"?

“Lawyer” is an umbrella term for legal professionals, not a protected title reserved for attorneys. The name Alawyer reflects exactly that: because Alawyer takes a holistic approach and is used by many attorneys, we chose this name — it stands for supporting and bringing together both worlds. Alawyer is legal AI software developed by LawAI FlexCo, not a lawyer.

Can Alawyer be connected to existing tools?

Yes. An MCP server and integrations bring legal research straight into existing working environments and AI assistants, so no extra system switch is needed.

Why an “AI lawyer” is not a lawyer

There is no such thing as an AI lawyer. Artificial intelligence has neither admission to practise nor professional authority. Alawyer is legal AI software that supports legal research and the preparation of legal information.

Alawyer analyses the request, plans the research, searches connected legal sources and literature from European jurisdictions, places the results in context and prepares an answer with citations. Coverage is being expanded step by step to every EU jurisdiction, while the original sources remain available for subsequent review.

Sensitive data receives particular protection. Processing and storage take place exclusively in the EU, encrypted and GDPR-compliant. Names and contact details in documents can be pseudonymised locally before further processing.

Legal AI replaces neither legal nor tax advice. Citations improve traceability but do not make a result infallible. Binding assessment, decision-making, representation and liability remain with authorised professionals.

How legal AI works

From analysing the request to a traceable answer, Alawyer follows a structured research process.

Analyse the request and plan the research: Alawyer identifies the question, the facts provided and the relevant jurisdiction. This produces a research plan covering the legal issues and source collections that may be material to the answer.
Research legal sources and literature: The system searches the connected collections. These include statutes, case law, EU law, public registers and, where available, legal literature. Additional searches may follow depending on the results.
Place the results in legal context: Retrieved material is organised by jurisdiction, temporal validity and relevance to the facts described. Conflicting authority, divergent decisions and missing information must remain visible.
Prepare the answer with citations: Alawyer brings the research results together in a structured answer and identifies the sources used. The original material remains accessible for targeted review.
Have a person review the result: Final assessment remains with the responsible person. They review the facts, sources and conclusions and decide whether further advice or specialist expertise is required.

What the answers rest on

For its research, Alawyer draws on connected legal sources and literature collections. The material found forms the basis of the prepared answer.

Statutes and regulations: National law from the currently connected European jurisdictions, including current versions, amendments and point-in-time states. Coverage is being expanded step by step to all EU Member States.
Case law: Supreme court decisions and published case law, the evidence base for questions of interpretation.
EU law: Regulations, directives and CJEU decisions. They matter wherever EU requirements affect national law.
Public registers: Companies register, land register and further registers for queries about specific parties and assets.

Sensitive data receives particular protection

Legal documents often contain personal or confidential information. Processing and storage take place exclusively in the EU, encrypted and GDPR-compliant. Optionally, Alawyer pseudonymises names, addresses and contact details locally before a document is processed further.

What legal AI is not

Not legal advice: Alawyer provides neither legal nor tax advice, accepts no mandate and represents no one. A binding assessment of an individual case requires an authorised professional.
No decision without review: Citations make results traceable, not infallible. Sources and conclusions must be reviewed before anyone acts on them.
No substitute for the facts: Answer quality depends on the facts. What is not shared cannot be considered.
No prediction of outcome: Research shows the law and the case law, not the outcome of a specific case.

Who this is for

Businesses: Review contracts, clarify questions upfront and catch internal requests before they become expensive externally.
Law firms: Cut research time and move review to where legal experience really counts.
Legal departments: Standardise recurring questions, document sources and keep decisions traceable.
Individuals: Orientation on a specific question, in plain language and with a link to the original.
