For the attorneys doing the most complex deal work on the continent.
South African deal attorneys do some of the most complex legal work on the continent. Cross-border transactions, layered regulatory exposure, deals that take months and reshape entire industries. They deserve tools built for that reality. Truth is our attempt to build them.
Great advice doesn’t come from knowing more. It comes from being free to think — without the research still pending, the workstream still open, the jurisdiction gap still unresolved. Truth carries that weight. So the thinking can happen.
We built truth for attorneys who already know what great looks like. Not to tell them how to practise law — to give them the space to practise it at their best. That’s the whole idea.
We didn’t build another search tool. We built a team you deploy into matters.
Truth brings together the best of what legal AI can do — collaborative agents, specialist skills, purpose-built for the law — and abstracts all of it into something a deal attorney can actually use: a team. You configure it for the kind of work you do. Then you deploy it into matters.
Each team carries the skills the matter needs. Research, drafting, regulatory mapping, transaction management — distributed across agents that work together, in context, without dropping threads. You stay in control. They stay in the work.
The result is a matter that runs leaner. Less overhead, less lag, more of the margin where it belongs — with your firm, and with your client. Truth makes deal work financially efficient. Not just faster. Actually better value, end to end.
Context all the way down
Every agent carries the full stack — from firm strategy to statute. Nothing is inferred. Nothing is missing.
Partner goals & recovery targets
Financial targets, matter budgets, client priorities. Agents route work to maximise value at firm level.
Deal structure & timelines
Transaction type, parties, jurisdictions, conditions precedent, regulatory deadlines. The full deal context, from day one.
Regulatory & compliance tracks
CompCom filings, SARB approvals, Mining Charter, COMESA notifications — each workstream staffed independently, none dropped.
African law — 28,808 documents
Real statutes, real citations, real thresholds. Section numbers, gazette references, reported judgments — across 9 African jurisdictions.
One matter, one pod
Each matter gets a full team. Every agent carries a role — and the context of the whole deal.
Intake & scope
Opens the matter. Identifies jurisdictions, regulatory triggers, and scopes every workstream before work begins.
→Research & retrieval
Retrieves the law that matters. Statutes, case law, regulatory guidance — specific to this deal, this jurisdiction.
→Analysis & drafting
Builds the opinion. Full citations, applied thresholds, identified risks — drafted to partner standard.
→Review & quality gate
Closes the loop. Validates every citation, checks completeness, delivers work product ready for sign-off.
The system is the
bottleneck — not your team.
African cross-border transactions have always attracted exceptional lawyers. What they’ve lacked is infrastructure that matches. London and New York built theirs decades ago. This market is building it now — starting here.
Fragmented jurisdictions
A SA→KE→ZW deal means three legal systems, three firms, three timelines — and no single thread pulling it together.
Context doesn't travel
Every workstream starts from scratch. The CompCom associate doesn't know what the SARB team found. Context stays siloed.
Cost asymmetry
Mid-tier SA firms at R3,000–5,000/hr. Cross-border memo packs run R200K+. The cost keeps smaller firms out of the work.
No platform built for this
Harvey targets US and UK. Spellbook targets North America. Nobody has built this for the African market. Until now.
Trusted by design
Built on African law
28,808 legal documents across 9 jurisdictions — SA statute, case law, and regulation. Not adapted from a US or UK base. Purpose-built for this market, from the ground up.
POPIA-aligned by design
Your matters, your data. Truth is designed with POPIA compliance in mind. Your client information stays within your control — no training on your files, no cross-contamination between matters.
Ahead of the framework
South Africa's AI regulatory framework is incoming. We're building Truth with it in mind — so the platform your firm adopts today meets the standards being set for tomorrow.
