Lawg for barristers

AI tax research for Australian barristers

Work through the chronology, competing contentions and candidate authorities.

In your work

Prepare the questions behind your analysis

Use a defined Australian tax issue and an explicit factual basis. Treat generated summaries and candidate authorities as working material to test through your own reading.

01

Map the brief's chronology and assumptions

Bring supplied events and dates into a working sequence. Distinguish agreed facts, disputed assertions and information still required from the instructing solicitor.

Example research prompt
Help me organise the supplied chronology for this Australian tax brief. Distinguish agreed facts, disputed assertions and assumptions, and list questions to clarify with the instructing solicitor.
Working output

A draft chronology and clarification list to check against the brief.

02

Examine competing tax contentions

Set out the propositions each contention depends on and investigate the available legislation, ATO materials and selected judgments that may bear on them.

Example research prompt
For these competing Australian tax contentions, identify the assumptions and propositions to research. Distinguish legislation, ATO views and selected judgments, and flag questions the available material does not resolve.
Working output

A working research map for examining each contention.

03

Read a selected judgment against the issue

Investigate the cited passages, factual setting and reasoning of an available decision. Check the original judgment and research subsequent treatment separately.

Example research prompt
Help me examine this available tax judgment in relation to the issue in the brief. Identify passages to read, material factual distinctions and questions requiring further research.
Working output

A reading note with source leads and unresolved points.

Example prompts show research tasks, not completed results. Answers depend on the facts supplied and the sources available.

How Lawg supports source review

Before you start

Questions from barristers

Check the fit for your work, then explore Lawg with a focused question.

Can Lawg prepare research notes for a tax brief?

It can support Australian tax research, factual organisation and working drafts. Check summaries against the brief and sources. Counsel remains responsible for the analysis, advice and any material used in proceedings.

Does Lawg provide a citator or verify subsequent treatment?

No. Selected decisions and citation links do not establish that an authority remains good law or that all relevant cases have been found. Check subsequent treatment and the applicable statutory version through appropriate research.

Can I upload a confidential or privileged brief?

Check your authority, professional obligations and chambers policy before providing material. Our Security and Privacy pages explain safeguards, processing and retention. Share only necessary information; confidentiality, privilege and zero retention are not guaranteed.

Check the facts, authorities and applicable source versions. All outputs require professional review before filing, client use or responding to the ATO. Lawg does not guarantee ATO acceptance or any audit outcome.

Before providing client or business information, check your authority and read Security & data handling, the Privacy Policy and Terms.
