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; Sinhala and Tamil are on paid plans. 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. Student Free opens Preliminary and Intermediate, and Student Max adds Final. The Research Assistant, Authority Search, the Case Law Analyzer and the Inheritance Calculator are open to students too. More for law students.

Yes. Lawyers can start on LawMate Free and law students on Student Free, at no cost and with a monthly allowance of Units. Paid plans add more Units and more of the library. Compare the plans.

Units pay for what the AI writes. Each plan comes with a monthly allowance, and 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 of documents attached to it and, for a written submission, 1 for each question of law it researches. Authority Search costs nothing. If you run out, you can top up at any time; a top-up is a one-time payment and stays valid for 12 months.

You pay for a plan through PayHere, monthly or yearly, and it renews automatically. A year costs the same as ten months. You can cancel at any time in your account’s Settings, and the plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for. Refunds follow our Refund Policy.

Yes. The Firm plan is for 2 to 99 lawyers, and the price for each lawyer falls as the firm grows. The firm’s owner invites each lawyer by email. Every lawyer has their own account and their own monthly Units, and the plan includes the Case Repository.

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 cancels any paid plan, so nothing more is charged. 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.
