YOUR LEGAL
TECH TEAM
Corporate advisory isn't litigation. Mining isn't family law. Why would you use the same AI for both? We build tools around the specific legislation and workflows your lawyers deal with every day.

Meet Zenias
We're a Perth-based studio. We've practised law, and we know the work is hard. The hours are long, the tools rarely help, and the last thing you need is another system that doesn't understand what you actually do. So we build ones that do.
The Landscape
The Firms That
Move First Will Win
AI is already here in legal. But generic AI won't give you an edge. Specific AI will.
Your lawyers are already using ChatGPT on the side, but it doesn't know the Corporations Act from the Mining Act. It can't track tenement renewals or flag a lapsed PPSR registration. The firms that pull ahead won't be the ones that just adopted AI. They'll be the ones that built AI around their practice areas and the actual tasks eating their lawyers' days.
Our Framework
How We Work
Four stages from idea to live product. Each one shaped around how your team actually works.
The Priestly XI
Every lawyer remembers the Priestly XI. Here are ours. Eleven practice areas we build for.
Corporate Advisory
Corporate Advisory
The Burden
Manually marking up prospectuses across 14 drafts. Processing stacks of share transfer forms and ASIC lodgements.
The Remedy
An AI workspace that drafts ASX-ready announcements, tracks prospectus changes, and auto-populates filings. Built around the Corporations Act.
Mining, Resources & Energy
Mining, Resources & Energy
The Burden
Hundreds of tenements, each with different renewal dates, expenditure commitments, and native title notifications. Royalty calcs in spreadsheets nobody trusts.
The Remedy
A tenement management system that tracks every licence and obligation, automates NTA notifications, and calculates royalties against production data.
In-House Legal
In-House Legal
The Burden
Being the bottleneck for every contract, approval, and compliance question. Requests arriving by email, Teams, hallway conversations.
The Remedy
A platform connecting legal to the business. Self-service requests, automated triage, shared dashboards, compliance workflows.
Why Zenias?
We know what it's like. The late nights, the mental load, the feeling that there has to be a better way. There is, and it starts with tech that actually understands your work.
Niche, not generic
A tool built for corporate advisory won't work for criminal defence. A mining system needs to understand tenement law, not just 'documents.' We build AI around the specific legislation your lawyers work with, including research tuned to that legal framework.
We've been where you are
We've drafted the prospectuses, processed the share transfer forms, sat in the data rooms. We know what it feels like when the work piles up and the tools don't help. We build tech that takes the grind off your plate so you can do the legal thinking and client work you're actually good at.
You own everything. We help you commercialise it.
The IP is yours. If what we build turns out to be valuable (and in compliance-heavy areas, it usually is), we can help you turn it into a client-facing app or a standalone product. Your firm's expertise, packaged and sold.
We ship, not just advise
Plenty of consultancies will hand you a slide deck. We hand you working software that your people actually use. For in-house teams, we build systems that connect legal to the rest of the business so you stop being the bottleneck.
