How it works
Six steps from a folder of documents to a filed claim
You do not need to know the law to use this. You need to know what happened to you. The service handles the structure, the citations, and the dates.
Step 1
Upload what you have
Employment agreement, emails, payslips, letters, meeting notes. PDF, Word, plain text, and .eml files are read directly; scanned pages go through OCR. If all you have is text in an email, paste it.
Step 2
Answer the questions
A structured interview asks what happened and when. The questions adapt to your answers, so you are not asked about a redundancy process if your matter is unjustified dismissal.
Step 3
See your deadlines
Your dates are mapped against New Zealand working days and public holidays — the 28-day personal grievance period, the 20 working days for an information request. Each one shows the date it was calculated from.
Step 4
Retrieval, statute first
Every proposition is grounded in a primary source. The Employment Relations Act and its regulations are searched before case law, and judgments are used to show how a section has been applied — never as a substitute for the section itself.
Step 5
Assemble the document
A statement of claim, affidavit, or proof of service is drafted in the form the Employment Court expects. A linter checks structure and formatting; a citation validator checks that every authority cited actually exists and says what the draft claims.
Step 6
Review, then file
You read the draft with each paragraph showing its source. You edit anything you disagree with, export it, and file it. The filing is yours — the document is prepared for you, not filed on your behalf.
This is not legal advice. LegalAI provides plain-language procedural guidance and document assembly. It does not advise on strategy or settlement, and it is not a substitute for a lawyer. You remain responsible for what you file.
