A council tax summons. A landlord serving Section 21. A DSAR being ignored. A small claim under £5,000. The legal system has answers — they're hidden inside thousand-page statute books, court rules written in 1893, and a forty-page solicitor invoice you can't afford.
We built LAW-BUD to be the friend with a law degree
you could text at midnight.
When stakes are real, LAW-BUD calls a panel. The orchestrator picks the right four specialists for your matter, runs them in parallel, then synthesises one coherent plan.
Produces letters, particulars, defences, statements of claim, Notes of Appeal and urgent motions.
Maps deadlines, court rules, fees, forms, jurisdictional steps.
Identifies what evidence is needed and what's missing.
Plans concessions, anchors, BATNA, settlement structure.
Surfaces the cases and statutes that decide the outcome.
Spots conflicts, regulatory risks, and what NOT to do.
Every brief comes back stitched together — no need to read six replies. You see the plan, the citations, and what to do next.
Three modes answer in seconds. Deep Research goes further. You hand it a question — “is the council's summary warrant defective?”, “does Ground 1 PRT defeat my tenancy?” — and the model autonomously trawls legislation.gov.uk, BAILII, the official rules, and authoritative secondary sources, building a structured brief with every authority cited, in line.
It runs longer than a chat answer (typically 2–6 minutes), but the output is the kind of memo a junior solicitor would charge two hours for. You get the governing statute, the leading cases with one-line ratios, recent (post-cutoff) developments, and the counter-arguments — all linked.
Drop your contract, the council's letter, your tenancy, your dismissal letter into the Knowledge Base. LAW-BUD doesn't just read each one — it cross-references them against the law and against each other. You see exactly which clause of your contract collides with which section of the Act, with both quoted side by side.
Every assertion in an answer carries an inline citation. Every citation links back either to the source statute on legislation.gov.uk or to the specific paragraph in your uploaded document. You can audit any claim in a click.
Three early users who used LAW-BUD on something that mattered. No hypotheticals — these are what people did and what happened next.

Tell LAW-BUD what's happened. It builds a chronological case timeline automatically — every letter, every notice, every call you mentioned, in date order, ready to print as a Tribunal bundle.
Then it works forward: every statutory deadline (3 months less one day for the ET, 14 days for the CFP, 28 days for the Notice to Owner) gets calculated from your facts and added to your deadline list. With reminders, if you want them.
Your contract, the landlord's letter, the tenancy agreement, your written warning at work. Drop them into the Knowledge Base and LAW-BUD will read them as part of the conversation — no copy-pasting.
Behind the scenes: a server-side store, indexed text, and a search_knowledge_base tool the model invokes whenever your question is about your own documents.
Court letters, summons, contracts, scanned correspondence — everything in one place. Three default folders out of the box: Court documents, Letters, Emails received. Add your own categories. Switch between list and grid views.
Drag-and-drop upload anywhere in the modal, multi-select for bulk move and delete, rename in place, download originals when you need them.
Two big jurisdiction cards: Scotland (Law Society of Scotland · SLAB) and England & Wales (Law Society of E&W · SRA). LAW-BUD knows the difference and searches the right authoritative directories first.
Tick the solicitors you want to contact, hit Draft inquiry emails, and LAW-BUD writes one personalised email per recipient — each in its own copy block, with a Copy All button if you want them as one go.
48 kHz mono, 128 kbps Opus capture with browser-side noise suppression and AGC. A live volume meter so you can see the mic is hot. Multi-model fallback chain so it works whichever transcription tier your account has.
Biased to UK legal terminology — Sheriff Court, Section 21, DSAR, Reg 34(6) — so it doesn't produce nonsense on technical terms.

No. LAW-BUD provides general legal information you can act on — it is not bespoke advice and we are not authorised by the SRA, the Law Society of Scotland, or any other regulator. For complex matters, instruct a solicitor (we'll help you find one).
Real Scots law. Every Sheriff Court form (Initial Writ, G6/G8/G9, Simple Procedure), the Ordinary Cause Rules 1993, SLAB, and the Law Society of Scotland — separate from CPR / County Court / SRA. The model picks the right rule set based on your jurisdiction setting.
Every citation is to legislation.gov.uk, BAILII, the Supreme Court site, or the official rules. The model is instructed to cite source and section, and to flag when something is post-cutoff or uncertain. You should still verify before filing.
Your chats, vault and Knowledge Base are stored on your account. We don't sell your data. You can delete your account and everything in it at any time. GDPR rights are honoured by default.
Yes — any time, no contracts. The account drops to free at the end of the billing period.
We're focused on E&W and Scotland today. NI is on the roadmap but we'd rather get two jurisdictions right than three half-built.
It will draft you a will skeleton, talk you through divorce procedure, and tell you what HMRC needs — but for life-changing decisions, instruct a regulated professional. LAW-BUD is the friend with a law degree, not the practising solicitor.
