Our lawyers

Real Australian lawyers — every matter, every time.

Lawcaptain is an AI-native law firm built inside MKI Legal — a registered Australian law firm with 14+ years of family-law practice. The AI helps us go faster. A qualified lawyer is always the one signing.

Where the line is

What the AI does. What a lawyer does.

What the AI does

Listens to your intake — voice or text
Asks the right next question
Pulls together a clean summary of your matter
Drafts the first version of documents from our internal wiki
Checks for the obvious things that trip up a court application
Saves your lawyer the hours that used to come out of your bill

What a lawyer does

Reviews every matter before anything is signed or filed
Gives you legal advice
Tells you when the AI got something wrong — and fixes it
Signs the certificate of independent advice
Communicates with the court, the bank, your former partner
Takes professional responsibility for the work

The lawyer is accountable. The AI is the toolbox. We never sign or file anything until a real lawyer has read it.

Founder note

Why we built Lawcaptain this way

Most Australians who need a legal document — a consent order, a prenup, a deed of release — never end up getting one. Not because they don't need it, but because they take one quote from a traditional firm, work out it'll cost four thousand dollars and three months, and quietly give up.

We started Lawcaptain because the work itself isn't four-thousand-dollars-and-three-months work. AI does a real chunk of it. A real lawyer does the rest — properly, quickly, and at a price that's published on the website. Same legal output. Same firm. Same insurance. About a quarter of the time and cost.
