Terms & Disclaimer

Brehon Legal helps you organise the facts of a civil or commercial matter, runs deterministic checks against Irish law (time limits, the correct court or forum, statutory thresholds and procedural steps), and drafts a formal document with each legal point cited to statute. It is built for two audiences: members of the public preparing their own documents, and solicitors using it as a drafting aid.

It covers civil and commercial matters only — for example debt recovery, consumer and contract disputes, employment claims, personal injury letters of claim, residential tenancies and non-disclosure agreements. It does not deal with criminal law.

Under the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015, only regulated professionals may provide legal services and hold themselves out as a solicitor or barrister. Brehon Legal does neither. It does not:

• give you advice on what you should do in your particular case;
• represent you, or act for you in any dealings or proceedings;
• tell you the merits, value or likely outcome of a claim — for personal injury in particular, we never put a figure on an injury;
• guarantee that a document is complete or correct for your matter.

Every number, date and deadline with legal weight is computed in code against the relevant statute, not generated by an AI language model. Where an AI model is used, it is only to phrase text in plain English or to read facts off a document you upload — and it is instructed never to invent a citation, an amount or a deadline.

You must confirm every deadline yourself. Time limits depend on facts only you know (for example the exact date you became aware of something). Always check the applicable limitation period and any procedural deadline with a solicitor before you rely on it. Missing a limitation period can permanently end a valid claim.

When a document is pre-filled from an uploaded file, the values are read from that file and may contain errors. Check every field against your own records before you generate or send anything.

Nothing is sent, filed or served on your behalf. Every draft is produced for your review. Before you send or file any document, read it in full, correct anything that does not match your matter, and — unless you are a qualified solicitor acting within your competence — have it reviewed by one.

If you use Brehon Legal without an account, the cases you save stay in your own browser. If you create an account, your cases are also saved to our database so you can reach them from any device, and we hold the account details you provide (such as your email). If you send your matter to a solicitor through our directory, the details you submit are shared with the solicitor firms you are matched to.

When you use the case assistant or upload a document, the text of your messages and document is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) solely to generate a response, over an encrypted connection. Do not upload anything you are not entitled to share, and include no more personal or sensitive information than the matter requires.

Our Privacy & data notice sets out in full what we collect, who processes it, and your rights.

Brehon Legal is provided on an “as is” basis, without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the tool or any document it produces. The responsibility for checking a document and deciding whether to act on it rests with you.

If your matter is significant, urgent, or you are unsure, speak to a solicitor. You can find one through the Law Society of Ireland’s “Find a Solicitor” directory. Free and low-cost help may be available from the Legal Aid Board, Citizens Information, FLAC (Free Legal Advice Centres), the Workplace Relations Commission, the Residential Tenancies Board or the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, depending on your matter.
