What Counsel does
Four kinds of work, one assistant.
Drafting
Describe it. Get the whole document.
Pleadings, contracts, letters and court processes, drafted under Nigerian law and opened in the Draft pane — the document alone, ready to edit and download.
Explore draftingResearch
The authority you need, cited.
Ask in plain language and get a clear answer built on Nigerian case law and statute, with every authority named so you can check it.
Explore researchReview
Every risk, before you sign.
Upload a contract and every clause is read. Risks are flagged and explained, changes are proposed, and you download a tracked-changes Word file under your own name.
Explore reviewLegal reasoning
A second mind on every problem.
Bring the facts. Counsel sets out the governing principle, applies it to your client's position and lays out the options and next steps.
Explore legal reasoningHow it works
You don't pick a tool. You just ask.
Counsel reads what you've asked and opens the right kind of work for it. You can always choose one yourself.
“Draft a statement of claim for breach of a supply contract.”
Drafting — opens in the Draft pane
“What is the limitation period for a claim in simple contract in Lagos?”
Research — answered with authorities
“Here is the lease. What should my client push back on?”
Review — clause by clause
“My client's shop was sealed by the state. What can we do?”
Legal reasoning — options and next steps
Whatever you ask
What stays true.
01
Nigerian law first
Counsel works for Nigerian courts and practice, and draws on a library of Nigerian statutes and rules of court.
02
You keep the judgment
Every answer names its authorities and every draft is yours to edit. What goes to the court or the client is your call.
03
Private by default

Questions
Questions lawyers ask first.
- Do I have to choose a feature first?
- No. Ask in plain words and Counsel works out whether you need a draft, research, a review or reasoning — or choose one yourself.
- Can one conversation do several things?
- Yes. Research a point, then ask for the draft, then upload the other side's version for review — all in the same conversation.
- How is Counsel different from Chambers?
- Counsel is who you work with on the law. Chambers is where you run the practice — matters, diary, billing and reports — and Counsel can work from it.
- Will it replace a lawyer's judgment?
- No. It gives you a strong first answer or draft. The judgment, and the responsibility for it, stay with you.
