How it works

Three steps to better writing

From first upload to measurable progress — the entire loop is designed to take minutes, not hours.

1
Upload or paste

Drop in a PDF, DOCX, or paste text directly. LexCoach handles client emails, short memos, and full legal opinions — up to 1,500 words per analysis.

2
Get scored instantly

AI analyses your document across all 8 criteria in 10–20 seconds. You receive a scored report, inline suggestions, and a rewritten version — in one view.

3
Track your progress

Every submission is plotted against your Day 0 baseline. Your radar chart expands as you improve — criterion by criterion, document by document.

The scorecard

Eight criteria. No ambiguity.

Every document is measured against the structured framework used in Frahan & Associates training. Each criterion scores 1–5. Perfect is 40.

01
Question Clarity

Is the client's question stated explicitly at the very top of the document?

02
Answer First

Does the answer appear immediately, before any analysis or background?

03
Recommendations

Are concrete, actionable next steps given directly after the answer?

04
Legal Reasoning

Is the analysis placed after recommendations and proportionate in length?

05
Informative Headings

Are headings descriptive rather than generic labels like "Background"?

06
Language Clarity

Is the writing clear and concise, free of passive voice and filler words?

07
Spelling & Grammar

Free from errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation throughout.

08
Visual Layout

Readable with appropriate paragraph length, bullet use, and white space.

Who it's for

Built for practising lawyers

Whether you're building habits early or breaking them late, LexCoach meets you where you are.

Associates
0 – 3 years

Build the writing habits that define your career from day one. Get honest, structured feedback on every document — before your supervisor does.

Senior Lawyers
3 – 8 years

Break the patterns you never noticed. See exactly where your writing buries the answer, inflates the reasoning, or loses the client's question.

In-house Counsel

Bridge legal precision and business communication. Adapt the same memo for five different audiences — board, GC, regulator, client — in minutes.

For teams

Your team's writing coach.
Your dashboard.

LexCoach gives every lawyer in your legal department their own personalised coach — and gives you a clear, real-time view of where the team's writing stands and where it's heading.

Every lawyer tracks their own progress

Each team member has a personal baseline, a radar chart that grows over time, and a score history from Day 0 to today. Individual accountability, no micromanagement.

You see the full picture

Your Manager Dashboard shows team-wide score distribution across all 8 criteria, flags the weakest areas across the group, and tracks improvement since onboarding — all anonymised.

Assign exercises to individuals or the whole team

Spot a pattern — say, everyone buries the answer — and push a targeted exercise to the whole department in one click. Or assign privately to a single team member.

Pre/post training reports that prove ROI

Run a Frahan & Associates session? LexCoach captures team scores before and after, and generates a comparison report showing exactly what improved and by how much.
