Litigent wasn't funded by VC. It wasn't designed in a boardroom. It was engineered against the real procedural realities of Canadian family court — and built to give self-represented litigants the level of preparation that used to require a lawyer's budget.
“A good family lawyer in Canada charges $400–600 an hour. For most self-represented litigants, that puts a complete pre-trial package permanently out of reach. Litigent was built to change that math.”
The Canadian family court system was designed to be navigated by lawyers. The paperwork, the deadlines, the procedural traps, the citation requirements — every layer of complexity is another wall between a self-represented litigant and a fair hearing.
Most people who walk into family court without counsel are not unintelligent or unprepared. They are out-resourced. They cannot afford the hours required to research binding precedents, draft a compliant affidavit, build a financial disclosure that holds up under scrutiny, or craft a parenting position grounded in current law.
Litigent collapses that work into a system that runs in parallel: eight specialised AI agents covering the listener, strategy, case-law research, parenting, support and finance, settlement, the challenger, and court-formatted draft support, with new specialists added over time. The output is a pre-trial package, cited, structured, and province-aware, that previously took a law firm days to produce.
This isn't a startup experiment. It is a professional system, engineered to production standards, built specifically for the Canadian family court context.
Production-grade software stack: Next.js 15, Node, MongoDB, Docker, Traefik, AI orchestration. Built to the same standards as commercial SaaS infrastructure, not as a hobby project.
Every feature was tested against real court documents, real procedural deadlines, and the practical realities of Canadian family-law practice. The system is calibrated to what an actual hearing requires, not to a demo.
Not an American template. Not a generic legal tool. Built specifically for Canadian family law: the Divorce Act, provincial Family Law Acts, CanLII precedents, court forms by province. Built province by province, starting where the need was greatest.
Eight specialised AI agents working in parallel, each modelled on a real Canadian family-law professional, and the roster keeps growing. Coordinator system, case memory, province-specific knowledge bases. This is not a chatbot. It is an orchestrated legal-intelligence system.
From idea to production in weeks. Here's how it happened.
The Canadian family court system is not designed for self-represented litigants. The paperwork, the deadlines, the procedural traps, the citation requirements — every layer of complexity is another wall between a person and a fair hearing.
Replace the unaffordable hours of a law firm with eight AI specialists, each with a different focus, from listening to strategy, research, finance, settlement, and drafting, running in parallel against a single matter and a single set of facts. And the team keeps growing.
A complete case brief generated end-to-end in about three hours: binding precedents, a financial framework, a parenting position, and an affidavit skeleton. The architecture proved out.

Citations you can check. Every authority the AI cites is clearly labeled and linked so you can verify it on CanLII before relying on it. No citation is marked verified without confirmation.
Persistent case context across every session. Your AI agents remember your case, your documents, your history. Every conversation builds on the last.
Your case data is stored on Canadian infrastructure and encrypted at rest. Some AI analysis is currently processed by a US-based language-model provider, which we disclose on our Privacy page. We build to PIPEDA principles.
