Legal admin is a solved problem.
It just doesn't feel like it yet.
Obiter exists because talented solicitors spend a shocking share of their week on work that requires no legal qualification. We're building the AI secretary that takes it off their desk.
Why we're building Obiter
Ask any fee earner where their week goes and you'll hear the same list: classifying and answering routine emails, reconstructing time sheets from memory, chasing clients for AML documents, and — for legal aid firms — assembling LAA claims line by line. None of it needs a law degree. All of it eats the hours that do.
Modern AI is genuinely good at exactly this kind of work: reading, classifying, drafting, and record-keeping. What it needs is the right harness — one that understands UK legal practice, keeps a qualified fee earner in charge of every outbound action, and treats client confidentiality as non-negotiable.
That's Obiter: an AI legal secretary that reads your inbox, drafts replies, records time as you work, runs client due diligence workflows, and prepares LAA claims — with every action queued for a human to approve, and every firm's data in its own isolated, UK-hosted database.
We're a new platform, and we're honest about that. We're onboarding our first firms now, and we'd rather earn trust with a candid pitch and a working free trial than with inflated numbers. If that approach suits you, we'd love to talk.
What we stand for
Built for solicitors, not just lawyers
We speak the language of UK legal practice — SRA, LAA, CCMS, AML, disbursements. Obiter is built around the actual workflows of firms in England and Wales, not a generic case-management template.
AI that augments, never replaces
Obiter handles admin so your qualified solicitors can focus on the advisory work that requires their expertise. Clients need a human adviser. They need their AI to handle the paperwork.
Security is not optional
UK-hosted on AWS London. Encrypted in transit and at rest. Each firm's data in its own isolated database. Designed to support your UK GDPR obligations. Your client data is never used to train AI models.
Transparent and honest
We show you exactly what the AI did and why, and you can always override, edit, or reject any AI action. The same standard applies to our marketing: no invented customers, no numbers we can't stand behind.
