Habeas overview

Habeas is an Australian-built AI legal research platform purpose-built for litigators, boutique firms, and in-house teams. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Surry Hills, Sydney, Habeas grounds every output in Australian case law and legislation, cited to paragraph level — eliminating the hallucination risk that plagues general-purpose AI tools. The platform combines a deep AI search engine, research assistants, document analysis, and MagicDraft document generation in a single workflow.

Key capabilities

Habeas delivers AI-powered legal research grounded exclusively in Australian law. Its deep search engine draws on an expansive corpus of Australian case law, legislation, and regulatory materials. The platform synthesises holdings, identifies relevant reasoning, and generates research memos and case strategies in real-time. MagicDraft produces full documents formatted to your style guide. Custom AI agents can be built for specific practice areas, giving outputs that match your firm's voice and methodology. All outputs are cited to paragraph level, making them defensible and audit-ready.

Questions to ask

  • Given Habeas was founded in 2023, how does its smaller case law corpus compare with those of established providers?
  • Are any native integrations with major practice management systems available yet?
  • What Enterprise pricing applies, and is direct contact still required rather than self-service?
  • How do the lower-tier query limits work, including the 250 monthly queries on the Sole Practitioner plan?
