AI legal research and drafting, built on Sri Lankan law

Lawyers and law students in Sri Lanka. A lawyer verifies by scanning the QR code on their Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) membership card, or a photo of it, and the account opens once that is done. A law student who signs up with a university email gets in at once; with a personal email, our team reviews the account first, usually within 1–2 business days.

No. LawMate is a research and drafting tool, not a law firm, and nothing it writes is legal advice. Open the sources before you rely on an answer, and read a draft against your instructions before you file it. Our Terms of Service say more.

From our own library of Sri Lankan law: reported and unreported judgments, Acts and Ordinances with the amendments we hold worked into the text, Parliament’s revised edition of the Constitution, and Supreme Court and Court of Appeal rules. Research answers are built from that library, not from a model’s memory. The Coverage page shows what is in it.

Every authority in a research answer opens from the sentence that cites it, and a citation that does not lead to a real source is removed before you see it. A second reading then checks the answer against the statutes and each source it cites. In a draft, every case cited is looked up in the library, and one that can’t be confirmed is marked for you to check.

English, Sinhala and Tamil. Any statute section is explained in plain English, Sinhala or Tamil, at the same price in each. Court documents are drafted in Sinhala or English, one form in Tamil, and any draft translates into Sinhala, Tamil or English. Scans and PDFs you upload are read in all three.

Sri Lanka Law College past papers at Preliminary, Intermediate and Final level with model answers, an AI tutor, marking on answers you write yourself, and timed mock exams, every level open to every student. The Research Assistant, Authority Search, the Case Law Analyzer and the Inheritance Calculator are open to students too. More for law students.

Yes. Every new account gets 45 Units, once, to try any tool, and searching the library costs nothing. The tools for your work, as a lawyer or as a student, are all open; after the welcome Units, you pay only for what you use. See the prices.

Units pay for what the AI writes. Each action spends a set number: a statute explanation costs 1, a judgment summary 2, a Research Assistant answer 5 and a new drafted document 5, with 1 more for every 3 pages attached to it. Authority Search costs nothing. A Unit costs Rs 38, you buy any amount from 10, and Units you buy never expire.

From your Wallet, by card through PayHere or by bank transfer. A card payment adds the Units as soon as it goes through. A transfer carries a reference we give you, and the Units are added once we confirm the money has arrived. There is no subscription, so nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel. Refunds follow our Refund Policy.

Yes. A lawyer can turn their account into a firm and invite colleagues by email, up to 99 people. The firm’s owner buys Units into one pool that every lawyer in the firm spends, sees what each lawyer has used, and can set a monthly limit for each. Every lawyer keeps their own account.

Your documents are private to your account. You can delete the account yourself in Settings: that permanently removes it with your chats, drafts and documents, and any Units left on it. It cannot be undone, and a firm’s owner removes the firm’s members first. Refunds follow our Refund Policy, and our Privacy Policy has the details.
