About LegalDocs Assist

Better documents. Stronger arguments. Built by people who have spent decades in claimant litigation.

Our Story

Why We Built This

LegalDocs Assist started with a question: why are claimant law firms still drafting witness statements from templates?

We watched experienced handlers spend hours pulling together statements that should have been straightforward. Researching case law, formatting to CPR Part 32 requirements, making sure every section was covered, then doing it all again on the next file. The knowledge was there. The process was just slow, manual, and easy to get wrong.

Then we looked at the rest of the workflow. Impecuniosity arguments running on instinct rather than structured analysis of the claimant's bank statements. Liability assessments done by gut feel rather than against the relevant case law.

We saw an opportunity to combine the deep industry knowledge of experienced claimant-side practitioners with the power of AI. Not to replace professional judgment, but to give every handler the tools to produce court-ready documents and case-law-backed arguments in minutes instead of hours.

The result is a platform that starts with the document - the witness statement - and builds outward. A structured impecuniosity assessment, a liability assessment tool, and a curated case law library of 210 UK authorities across five practice areas. No fabricated citations. No generic AI guesswork. Every output grounded in real authority.

Our Mission

To give every claimant-side practitioner the tools to produce court-ready documents and expert-level legal arguments, instantly.

Our Team

Founded by Craig Budsworth (ex Glaisyers & AX) and Chris Latham (ex KAM). Between them, over 50 years in claimant litigation, from claims handling to insurer negotiations to building the operational systems that run claimant businesses.

Our Values

Accuracy over speed, transparency over complexity, and your data privacy above all.

Our Approach

AI constrained by a curated legal knowledge base. No hallucination, no guesswork.

This is not a generic AI tool with a legal prompt bolted on. It is a specialist system built by people who have spent decades in claimant litigation.

Every witness statement is checked against CPR Part 32 requirements. Every legal argument is grounded in verified UK case law. Every citation is cross-referenced before it reaches you.
