TOOLS · NEXUS LEGAL
Tangible tools that work directly on your legal corpus.
Beyond search and chat, Nexus Legal ships working instruments: a deadline calculator that knows your jurisdiction's calendar, a two-way bridge between statutes and case law, and a verification center that checks any citation against the corpus. Built to do specific legal work, not to improvise.
The toolkit
Each one does a concrete task and adapts to the jurisdiction you are working in.
Procedural deadline calculator
Computes deadlines in business days, calendar days, months or years, accounting for official holidays, weekends and non-working periods such as judicial recess in the selected jurisdiction. Procedural presets — appeals, response and answer terms, statutes of limitation, action deadlines — each carry their legal reference and adapt automatically when you change jurisdiction. An aid for planning; always confirm against the official source.
Statute ↔ case-law cross-reference
Bidirectional by design: from a statute article, see the rulings that apply or cite it, ordered by number of mentions; from a ruling, see the in-force statute articles it cites. Available in the UI as badges on statute cards and via the developer API. It connects the two corpora — legislation and case law — as a network of meaning, not an archive.
Citation Verification
A named module that runs deterministic, per-citation verification against the corpus. It returns a verdict with the [L2-J] seal (case law verified by ECLI) or the [L4-N] seal (in-force statute verified), reporting a state of verified, mismatch or not_found, and a confidence level for each one. Every analysis shows an "X of Y citations verified" counter so you can see at a glance how much of the output checks out. Paste a citation from your brief and check that it actually exists.
Ingestion channels
Get material into a matter without manual uploads. An email-to-matter alias auto-ingests inbound emails and their attachments straight into the right case file. Scanned PDFs are read with OCR and audio or video is transcribed to text, each ingested with a citation back to the exact source. A multi-document Data Room lets you cross-analyse several documents at once, not just query a single file.
Firm management
Run the firm from one place: invite members, see seats used and available, and follow activity from a firm dashboard. An append-only audit log records member actions, with a master console for oversight. This is end-user firm administration — distinct from the developer-facing Organizations API.
Work on documents already in the matter
Run a fresh analysis on documents already uploaded to a matter or Data Room — no need to re-upload. Re-run the pipeline over the existing file set or focus it on a single document, and the result is filed back into the same case with its citations.
Negotiation Playbook
For a clause or negotiating position, the playbook surfaces fallback options, leverage points and the arguments the counterparty is most likely to raise — so you enter the negotiation with the other side's case already mapped. Decision-support; the lawyer sets the strategy.
Monte Carlo scenario simulation
Stress-test a contract or dispute under defined variables across many simulated scenarios and read a contractual-resilience index. It surfaces where the risk concentrates — decision-support for M&A and due diligence, not a prediction of the outcome.
Save, restore and reopen analyses
Working sessions can be saved and restored, and any past analysis reopened exactly as it was — the per-citation verdicts and the evidence trail travel with it. Pick up a matter days later without losing the verification state.
ROI calculator
Estimate the time and cost a matter would take with and without the platform — a quick ROI calculator for the engagement. A planning aid, not a quote.
Conflict check
Screen a new matter or counterparty against the firm's existing matters and parties to surface potential conflicts of interest before you take the engagement.
Verified case-law commentary
For a court ruling, generate a commentary where every statement is tagged by provenance: green (anchored verbatim to the ruling's text or derived from the citation graph) or amber (interpretive, passed through a second adversarial audit). Claims that cannot be anchored are discarded and counted, and the sense of the ruling is never asserted unless it is in the verified text. And because it is generated on demand against the current corpus — current in-force law and derogations — the commentary doesn't age like a static annotation. AI-assisted — it does not replace professional judgment.
The deadline calculator is a planning aid, not legal advice. Computed terms depend on the calendar and presets loaded for each jurisdiction — always confirm critical deadlines against the official source.
