Legal Brief

• You need a first-draft legal memo or case summary quickly, structured to professional standards ready for solicitor or counsel review.
• You are preparing an argument outline or position paper and want IRAC structure applied consistently across multiple issues.
• You need to draft a letter before action and want a properly formatted document with issue, legal basis, and next steps laid out.
• You are working across England & Wales, US, EU, or another jurisdiction and need jurisdiction-aware flagging of gaps where additional research is required.

• You need finalised legal advice that can be filed or sent without professional review — this skill produces drafts only, not qualified legal opinions.
• You need to pull live case law or statutes automatically; where law is not supplied, the skill flags [RESEARCH NEEDED] rather than fetching sources.

Every document is organised into Issue, Rule, Application, and Conclusion sections — the standard framework for legal writing. The brief answer appears before the analysis so the conclusion is surfaced immediately.

Supports England & Wales, US, EU, and other jurisdictions. Jurisdiction is captured as a required input so the analysis references the correct legal framework.

Where relevant law or cases are not provided, the skill explicitly marks those areas as [RESEARCH NEEDED] rather than fabricating authority. Disputed facts and areas of legal uncertainty are called out rather than hidden.

Output is tailored to the intended audience — internal memo, court submission, or client letter — adjusting tone and formality accordingly. A confidentiality notice and legal professional privilege header are included by default.

Each draft is validated against a quality checklist covering issue framing, brief answer placement, fact flagging, uncertainty disclosure, caveats coverage, and disclaimer inclusion.

Every output closes with a dedicated caveats section listing what the memo does not cover and what additional research would change the analysis, plus a recommended next steps summary.

A legal team needs a quick first-draft memo analysing whether a new business practice constitutes a breach of contract under English law. They supply the facts and known cases; the skill structures the analysis and flags where additional case research is needed.

A litigator preparing for a hearing needs a structured argument outline covering each issue in dispute. The skill produces an IRAC outline with arguments in favour, anticipated counter-arguments, and an overall recommendation — ready for counsel to refine.

A business wants to send a formal letter before action to a counterparty. The skill drafts a professionally structured letter identifying the legal issue, the applicable rule, the facts, and the demanded remedy.

A solicitor needs to explain the legal position on a regulatory matter to a client in plain terms. The skill produces a case summary formatted as a client letter, with conclusions stated upfront and caveats clearly separated from the analysis.
