Know exactly where you stand. $99.
An AI report on your dismissal case, read against thousands of real Fair Work Commission and court decisions, in two to three days.
Your matter is checked against all of it. We are not guessing.
Library figures as at 26 August 2026.
On the day, you'll know four things.
Not a summary of the law. An answer about your matter, in writing, that you can hand to a lawyer, a conciliator, or nobody at all.
Where you're strong
The facts that carry your case, and the decisions that back them. Often something your own summary underplays.
Where you're weak
The employer's best document. The claim you shouldn't run. The quote that isn't in your evidence. Said plainly.
What it's worth
A realistic range from comparable outcomes, an opening figure, a floor to write down before the day.
What to do next
Your deadlines, what to ask for in a settlement, and what to say when they push back.
Thirteen days after she got sick, they made her redundant.
Made redundant thirteen days after telling her employer she was unwell. Seven months fighting alone. Days before her Fair Work conciliation she came to Lawcaptain and asked to be told where she was weak. She walked into the virtual room with an opening, a first offer, and one sentence to hold onto.
“I finally got to have my say.”
Not a law firm. Not a chatbot.
Two things already exist for people in your position. Both have a problem.
AI can still make mistakes, and no lawyer reads your report before it reaches you. But this one is built for exactly one job: telling you where your dismissal case stands under Australian law. Read it. Check it. Then decide.
An AI review. Created by a real employment law firm.
Lawcaptain is built and run by MKI Legal, a registered Australian law firm that has specialised in employment law since 2012. The lawyers who argue unfair dismissal and general protections claims wrote the rules the review follows.

Nicholas Marouchak
Employment lawyer · Co-founder of Lawcaptain · Director of MKI Legal. Recognised by Doyle's Guide as a leading WA employment lawyer in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Nick has spent more than ten years in employment law and has lost count of the people he has had to turn away — not because they had no case, but because finding out what it was worth cost more than the case itself. He thinks the technology is now good enough that nobody should have to make that trade. He built this so that someone anywhere in Australia can find out what their claim is actually worth before they decide what to do about it, and so the report tells them where they are weak, because that is the part a person needs and the part nobody wants to say.
Jayden Collier
Co-founder · Engineering & Operations. Not a lawyer; the engineer who built the pipeline that reads your documents against the case library.
Jayden is not a lawyer. He came to this after hearing the same story too many times — someone with a real problem, a real deadline, and no way to pay for an answer — and he takes it as given that technology is worth building when it puts something out of reach back within it. He built the pipeline that reads every document you send and tests it against tens of thousands of real decisions. It works on one matter for hours rather than minutes, because that is what it takes to be right rather than merely fast.
Three steps, and none of them is a phone tag.
Send us everything
Your dismissal letter, contract, emails, the employer's response if there is one. Hundreds of files is fine.
About 15 minutesWe read it against real decisions
Every document is extracted and categorised, then checked against the case library and the principles that decide these matters.
2–3 daysYou get a written answer
Strengths, weaknesses, a range, deadlines, next steps, and the cases it relied on, linked. Yours to keep.
Yours to keepYou don't have to be sacked yet.
It hasn't happened yet
A show-cause letter, a “restructure” meeting, a performance plan out of nowhere. Find out what your position is worth while you can still shape it.
- Being managed out, or a sudden PIP
- A deed of release or exit offer to weigh up
- A restructure you think is really about you
You've been dismissed
You have 21 days to lodge. The review tells you which claim to run, what it's realistically worth, and what to ask for before you file.
- Unfair dismissal — is it strong, arguable or weak
- General protections involving dismissal
- A claim already lodged that you want tested
The lawyer often costs about what the case is worth.

Wherever you are in Australia, the law is the same — and so is the review.
The Fair Work Act 2009 is national law. The decisions your matter is read against come from every state, and the report reads the same in Perth, Sydney or Hobart.
Currently serving clients in NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS & the ACT. Northern Territory coming soon.
$99, and two honest deadlines.
One-off. No subscription, no free version, paid up front. Dismissal matters only for now: unfair dismissal and general protections.
Start my review — $99- You're out of time to bring a claim: refund.
- There's nothing for us to review: refund.
- It says your case is weak: that is the value. No refund for the answer.
An unfair dismissal or general protections application must reach the Commission within 21 days of the dismissal taking effect. The review will tell you which day is day one.
From this date the Commission's AI rules apply: you must say if AI helped prepare your documents, and you're responsible for what's in them. This report is written for that. Read it, check it, then sign it.
The things people ask.
No. It's a review of your matter — what the law says, how cases like yours have gone, and where you stand. It is not advice from a lawyer who has met you and is responsible for your case.
No, and we'd rather say so than imply otherwise. At $99 the work is done by our system against a database of real decisions. A version with a lawyer's review is a different product and doesn't exist yet.
Not a human, no. Every case is resolved against our database of real decisions, so what you get is not invented — but nobody with a practising certificate has read your report and signed off on it. That's why you check it, and why it's $99.
It reads your whole file, it cites decisions that exist and locates the quotes in them, and it tells you when your case is weak. The Commission's own research found that people who take AI output at face value turn up with inflated expectations and weaker claims. This is how you avoid that.
Yes. That's why it's $99 and not $1,500. What makes it different from a chatbot is what it runs on — a database of real Australian decisions we hold ourselves — and every case is linked so you can check it.
Yes — and it's often the better moment. If you're being performance-managed, stood down, or holding an offer with a deadline on it, a review tells you what your position is worth before you sign, and what to get in writing while you still can.
The review says so, on the first page, with the reasons. That's the product working, not failing.
From 20 October 2026 you must declare you have checked every fact, case and quote in your application. You have to do that checking yourself — we can't do it for you. What we do is make it possible: every case linked to the published decision, every finding tied to the document it came from. Read it. Check it. Then sign it.
Yes, all of it. From 20 October 2026 you must declare to the Commission that every fact, case, quote and piece of legislation in your application is correct and exists. That declaration is yours and nobody can make it for you. What the review does is make the checking realistic — every case is linked to the published decision, and every finding is tied to the document it came from. Don't sign the declaration until you have actually looked.
If there's no potential claim for us to investigate (for example, you're out of time to bring one, or there's nothing for us to review), we refund your $99 in full and tell you why. What a refund doesn't cover is an answer you didn't want to hear — a weak case, honestly assessed, is the product working.
Not yet. Right now we review dismissal matters only — unfair dismissal and general protections involving dismissal, before or after the dismissal takes effect. If that's not your situation, call 1300 967 552 and our legal team will point you in the right direction.
Two to three days. Reading your entire file, finding the decisions closest to your facts, and locating every quote in the raw judgment is real work. Anything that comes back in thirty seconds hasn't done it.
Not a dismissal — or not yet?
We are building reviews for these next. Tell us which you need and leave your email, and we will tell you when it is ready. If you need it this week, tick the box and we will see what we can do.
Find out where you actually stand — for $99.
Two to three days. In writing. Yours to keep, whatever you decide to do next.
