This repository is a modular, AI-powered legal assistant framework designed specifically for the United Kingdom jurisdiction. It is not another generic legal bot. It is a swarm of specialized legal AI agents — each trained to handle a distinct domain of UK law: Employment, Commercial, Corporate, Intellectual Property, Privacy, Regulatory, Litigation, and AI Governance.
Think of it as a digital law firm that fits inside your terminal, your web app, or your CI/CD pipeline. Each agent understands the nuances of UK statutes, case law, and regulatory guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), Companies House, HM Courts & Tribunals Service, and more.
Whether you are a solicitor, a compliance officer, a startup founder, or an AI researcher building legal tools, this toolkit gives you pre-trained prompt chains, RAG pipelines, and plugin architectures that speak fluent UK legalese.

Each agent operates independently or in concert via the orchestrator. The system uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to pull from a corpus of UK primary legislation, statutory instruments, and authoritative commentary.
Below is a sample agent profile for the EmploymentLawAgent. This can be stored as a JSON, YAML, or TOML file inside the config/ directory.

You are a UK employment law specialist. You interpret the Employment Rights Act 1996,
the Equality Act 2010, the Working Time Regulations 1998, and TUPE regulations.
You do not give financial advice, but you can recommend legal remedies and procedural steps.
plugins:
- redundancy-consultation-calculator
- unfair-dismissal-checklist
- tribunal-timeline-generatorOnce installed, you can invoke an agent directly from the command line using the uk-legal CLI.
# Launch the privacy agent
uk-legal agent privacy --query "What are my obligations under UK GDPR for employee monitoring software?"
# Run a commercial contract review
uk-legal agent commercial --file contract.pdf --jurisdiction uk --enforceability-check
# Generate a litigation timeline
uk-legal agent litigation --case-type "Employment Tribunal" --claimant "Employee" --defendant "Employer"
# Interactive multi-agent session
uk-legal orchestrator --agents employment,privacy,ai-governance --interactiveThe output is structured as a legal opinion with citations, risk flags, and next-step recommendations.

# Use OpenAI
export LEGAL_MODEL_PROVIDER="openai"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
# Use Claude
export LEGAL_MODEL_PROVIDER="anthropic"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."The system includes specialized prompt templates for each provider:
