The Problem

New Zealand lawyers lose hours starting drafts from scratch

Sole practitioners and small-firm lawyers carry a heavy drafting load — statements of claim, personal grievances, parenting orders, payment claims — without a junior or paralegal team to absorb the first pass.

⏱
Repetitive first drafts on every matter
A statement of claim under the High Court Rules 2016 eats 90 minutes of pure typing before you even start thinking about the strategy. A personal grievance under s 103 Employment Relations Act 2000 takes the same hour every single time. Old precedents are inconsistent and rarely reflect the 2019-2026 reforms.
📚
A wave of reform since 2019
The Trusts Act 2019 rewrote trustee duties and disclosure. The Privacy Act 2020 introduced mandatory breach notification and IPP 12 cross-border rules. The Land Transfer Act 2017 reshaped the Torrens registry. Resource Management Act reform is overhauling planning. Generic AI doesn't know any of this — it still cites repealed statutes or misapplies US and UK law.
💰
Six-minute units against you
Every 40 minutes spent typing a statutory demand under s 289 Companies Act 1993 is six and a half units the client either pays for or you write off. Drafting time is the single biggest leak in a sole practice — and the meter ticks against you on every matter.
🌏
Forum-by-forum complexity
A statement of claim in the District Court, an Employment Relations Authority statement of problem, a Tenancy Tribunal application under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, a Construction Contracts Act payment claim — every court and tribunal has its own forms, deadlines and procedural rules. One firm, many ways of getting it wrong.
The P.A.C.E.F Framework

Every skill follows a 5-stage protocol

Each of the 621 skills is built on the P.A.C.E.F methodology — a structured prompting framework, function by function, designed specifically for New Zealand legal drafting. Not a chat shortcut: an audit trail you can hand to a senior associate.

P
Problematisation
Identifies the parties, the jurisdiction, the material facts and the precise legal question — anchoring the AI to the specific New Zealand matter before any drafting starts.
01/05
A
Analysis
Computes, assesses and maps risks: quantum, limitation periods, jurisdictional gateways, available remedies and the tactical position of each party.
02/05
C
Compliance
Cites the controlling authority: Crimes Act 1961, Employment Relations Act 2000, Companies Act 1993, Resource Management Act 1991, Privacy Act 2020 and the Information Privacy Principles, Land Transfer Act 2017 — plus the NZLS Rules of Conduct and Client Care 2008 rules engaged.
03/05
E
Execution
Delivers the full draft — statement of claim, personal grievance, parenting order, payment claim, sale and purchase agreement — in the correct New Zealand legal format, ready for lawyer review.
04/05
F
Finalisation
Closes with a verification checklist, next steps with deadlines and responsible parties, and a plain-English summary for the client.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. LegalSkills NZ is a drafting tool — it does not constitute legal practice. Where a skill is forum-sensitive (conveyancing, criminal procedure, employment, tenancy), the skill asks you to confirm the relevant court or tribunal and then aligns the draft accordingly. Your own practising certificate, issued by the New Zealand Law Society, governs which matters you may actually run.
Yes. The library includes statements of claim and defence under the High Court Rules 2016 and District Court Rules 2014, interlocutory applications, briefs of evidence, personal grievance statements of problem for the Employment Relations Authority, Care of Children Act parenting order applications, Construction Contracts Act payment claims, and Waitangi Tribunal (Wai) claims. Each is grounded in the relevant New Zealand statute and rules.
Honestly: no — and we won't pretend otherwise. AI skills are a drafting tool, not a CPD activity. What they do is free up the time you used to spend on first drafts, which you can then redirect to genuine CPD: substantive law, ethics, practice management and professional skills. The New Zealand Law Society requires ten CPD hours per year under a self-directed CPD plan; LegalSkills NZ complements that, it doesn't replace it.
Generic legal AI tools are trained mostly on US and UK material and routinely cite the wrong statute when handling New Zealand matters — for example, citing the Companies Act 2006 (UK) for a New Zealand company law question. Every LegalSkills NZ skill is built on the P.A.C.E.F framework and anchored to the correct New Zealand source: Crimes Act 1961, Companies Act 1993, Employment Relations Act 2000, Resource Management Act 1991, Privacy Act 2020, the Land Transfer Act 2017, and so on. Each skill ends with a Finalisation checklist of points to verify.
Seven-day refund, no questions asked. Email leonardo@rsabr.adv.br within seven days of purchase with your Stripe receipt and we will refund in NZD via Stripe. We would rather a clean refund than an unhappy solicitor.
Yes. Lifetime access includes future updates at no extra cost. The 2025-2026 update cycle already covers: the Trusts Act 2019 trustee duties and disclosure regime, the Privacy Act 2020 (mandatory breach notification and IPP 12 cross-border transfers), the Land Transfer Act 2017 single national registry, the ongoing Resource Management Act 1991 reform, the Incorporated Societies Act 2022 re-registration deadline, and updates to the Construction Contracts Act 2002 adjudication regime.
Yes. LegalSkills NZ is built to be compliant with the Privacy Act 2020 and the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs). We collect the minimum personal information necessary (name, email, optional mobile) to deliver your account, send your magic link and notify you of legislative updates. We do not sell or rent your data. You may request access (IPP 6) or correction (IPP 7) at any time via leonardo@rsabr.adv.br.
The licence is a single-lawyer licence — one New Zealand legal practitioner per purchase. If you would like to roll the library out across a team of two or more lawyers, email leonardo@rsabr.adv.br for firm-licence pricing. Sharing the magic link with unlicensed users is a breach of the terms and may result in revocation without refund.
No subscription is required to use LegalSkills NZ itself — but you do need an AI assistant to paste the skills into. The free tiers of Claude (Anthropic) and ChatGPT (OpenAI) both work. For heavier drafting we recommend the paid tier of either (Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus), each around NZD $30/month, which gives you longer context windows and the latest model. Gemini and Microsoft Copilot also work. No API key, no integration, no plugin — if you can paste text, you can use the skills.
No. LegalSkills NZ is a professional drafting tool for qualified New Zealand legal practitioners. Each skill produces an AI-generated first draft for review — it does not constitute legal advice and it does not replace your independent professional judgment. The responsible lawyer retains their obligations under the NZLS Lawyers and Conveyancers Act (Lawyers: Conduct and Client Care) Rules 2008 to verify every output against current law, applicable court rules and the specific facts of the matter before use.
