How it works

You direct the work.You sign what goes out.

ViciLex does the first pass: the search, the reading, the first draft. What the authority means for your matter, and what goes out under your name, stays your call.

Intake

Drop the file.Confirm the matter.

No form, no category picker, no setup. ViciLex reads the document and proposes the matter: type, parties, forum, dates, issues. You confirm it, and the work starts.

Command

You give the direction.A team of agents does the legwork.

Brief ViciLex the way you’d brief your associates. It splits the work into streams (reading the file, finding authority, testing the other side’s best argument, drafting), runs them at the same time, and goes deeper than an afternoon allows. Every judgment call comes back to you.

Two lines of authority. Lead with temporal proximity and hold pretext in reserve?

Ready for your review

Demand letter drafted. Two pages, seven authorities, each one linked to the opinion.

Every decision you record stays on the matter.

Example matter, for illustration.

Research

Ask it like a colleague.Read the authority yourself.

Describe the issue in plain language. The answer cites what it relied on, flags the strongest authority against you, and opens each one to the full text. Follow any case to what it cites and what later cites it.

Can an employer enforce a class action waiver in an arbitration agreement with its employees?

Yes, under the Federal Arbitration Act. The Supreme Court held that agreements requiring individual arbitration must be enforced, and that the NLRA does not displace them.

  1. You set the direction

    One instruction in plain language. The plan comes back for you to see before anything runs.

  2. They work in parallel

    Reading, research, the other side’s case and the draft move at once, each showing its reasoning.

  3. Nothing passes a decision without you

    Strategy, emphasis, what goes out. The agents stop and ask.

Agents

Hand it the file.Watch it work.

Agents in ViciLex work through the file in steps you can follow, and stop where the decision is yours.

  1. Analyze

    Upload a contract or a matter’s documents and Analyze works through them in steps: a summary, the key clauses and where each sits, the issues it can see. Its reasoning shows as it goes.

  2. One-click reviews

    Contract Assessment, Clause Extraction, Compliance Mapping. Pick one, run it on the document, and it lists what it found, each point for you to check.

  3. Matter playbooks

    A matter runs in stages, from intake through pleadings and discovery, and each task waits on the work it depends on. ViciLex proposes the next step. You approve it or change it.

What it finds is for you to check. What happens next is your call.

Playbooks

Your playbook.Your way of running a matter.

Build the workflow you’d hand a new associate: stages, tasks, and what each task waits on. Save it, share it across the firm, and run it on the next matter. As each dependency clears, ViciLex proposes the next task. You approve it or change it.

NEXT ACTIONSend a demand letter to Brightline’s counsel

Re: Dana Hartwell · termination of employment

We represent Dana Hartwell in connection with the termination of her employment by Brightline Logistics, Inc. on February 14, 2026, twelve days after she reported harassment to human resources. Timing that close between protected activity and an adverse action supports an inference of causation.[1] We invite a response by March 20, 2026 to discuss resolution before we file suit.

Example matter, for illustration.

Read the file

Every findingpoints to its clause.

Run a one-click review on any document (Contract Assessment, Clause Extraction, Compliance Mapping) and follow the reasoning as it works. Each finding points to the clause it came from. Then ask one question across every document in the matter.

FAQ

Before you ask

Does it tell me whether I will win?

No, and it is not trying to. It gets you to the authority faster and lets you go deeper than you would have had time to, with the citations open to inspection. Reading what that means for your matter is your job, and it stays your job.

What stops it inventing a citation?

Authorities in answers link to the opinions themselves, and the citations between opinions come from the opinions, not from generated text. We are not going to tell you a language model cannot be wrong. Open the authority and check it before you rely on it.

Can I put privileged material into it?

That decision is yours and your firm’s, and we won’t make it for you. Our privacy policy sets out how what you send is handled. A firm that wants the answer to rest on its own controls can have an installation of its own. Ask us for whatever your review needs.

Can my firm use it before US signups open?

Yes, through an installation set up for your firm. Talk to us about your firm and we will scope it with you, including which authority it reads.
