Lawg for solicitors

AI tax research for Australian solicitors

Organise the tax questions within your client's matter.

A transaction or dispute can raise a tax question alongside the work you are engaged to do. Use Lawg to frame the issue, assemble a factual brief and prepare the next discussion with a tax specialist.

In your work

Support the tax work around your client matter

Start with the part of the matter that raises an Australian tax question. Keep the factual record, initial research and questions requiring specialist advice distinct.

01

Spot the tax questions in a transaction

Use the proposed arrangement to identify possible tax research questions and information to request before seeking specialist input.

Example research prompt
I am assisting a client with a proposed business sale. Help me frame the Australian tax questions to raise with their tax adviser. List the facts and documents needed without assuming the tax outcome.
Working output

A draft issue list to check against the transaction and engagement.

02

Build a factual brief for a dispute

Organise the supplied chronology, parties and documents around a defined tax question. Check every material fact against the underlying record.

Example research prompt
Help me organise a factual brief for this Australian tax dispute. Separate supplied facts, dates, assumptions and gaps, then identify research questions for the tax specialist.
Working output

A working chronology and list of gaps for the matter team.

03

Prepare the specialist handover

Bring the client question, initial research and unresolved points into a draft file note for the practitioner taking the tax issue forward.

Example research prompt
Draft a file note for a tax specialist from this discussion. Include the client's question, engagement scope, facts to verify, available sources and questions requiring their advice.
Working output

A handover draft you can check and refine before sharing.

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

One research workflow

Keep the referral connected to the client matter

A useful handover explains why the tax issue arose, what the client has supplied and what remains uncertain. Use Lawg's research and drafting tools to prepare that record, then agree the next steps and scope with the appropriate adviser.

Before you start

Questions from solicitors

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

Can I use Lawg for tax questions within a broader legal matter?

You can use it to help scope Australian tax research and prepare a factual brief or file-note draft. Assess whether the issue falls within your engagement and competence, and obtain specialist advice where needed.

Which part of the matter can I research?

Use Lawg for the Australian tax questions, with available legislation, ATO materials and selected decisions. Other areas of law need separate research, and additional tax authorities may be required.

Can I provide client documents for the research?

Check your authority, duties to the client and firm policy before providing documents. 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.
