PrecedentIQ provides drafting and research support to instructing advocates and law firms. It takes no vakalatnama, holds no client relationship, and appears in no proceeding. Nothing on this site is legal advice or an invitation for work in the sense prohibited by the Bar Council of India Rules.

Overflow capacity for chambers and firms, with a matter register and next-date tracking behind it.
A chamber running more matters than its own bench can carry can route overflow work to PrecedentIQ, whether that is a single piece of drafting, a research question, or a full matter, to the hub it belongs to, without the matter changing hands.
The point of retained capacity is that it absorbs the weeks a practice cannot plan for. Listings cluster, a part-heard matter runs longer than expected, two urgent applications land in the same week, and a junior is on leave. Capacity agreed in advance means the chamber is not choosing between turning work away and filing something it is not satisfied with.
What comes back is a draft prepared to filing standard, and the matter stays exactly where it was. PrecedentIQ takes no vakalatnama, holds no client relationship with the litigant, and appears in no proceeding. The instructing advocate remains on record, reviews the draft, and signs off before anything is filed or used, so nothing about routing work to the bench alters who holds the matter or who answers for it.
A chamber can send one brief and stop there, or agree standing capacity. Where the volume justifies a settled arrangement, that is described on the Empanelment page, and the fee models are set out on Engagement & Fees.
Matters placed with PrecedentIQ are logged to a register with next dates tracked, so nothing sent to us is sent into a gap.
That register is the answer to the ordinary anxiety about outsourcing anything in litigation, which is not that the work will be poor but that it will go quiet. Each matter carries its forum, its stage, what was asked for, what has been returned and what falls due next, so the position can be stated when the instructing advocate asks rather than reconstructed from a thread of messages.
Where a next date moves, or a listing is advanced, the schedule for the brief moves with it. Where a date cannot be met properly, that is raised at the point it becomes clear rather than absorbed quietly and discovered late, because a chamber can usually work with early notice and can rarely work with a surprise.
The register also carries the verification position for each brief, so it is possible to say what has been checked against the primary source and what is still open, rather than treating a returned draft as uniformly finished.
A conflict check runs before a matter is opened. Work for one chamber is never referenced, in substance or in passing, when advising another.
The check runs on every new matter, not once at the start of the relationship, including for chambers already sending regular volume. A standing arrangement is precisely the situation in which a conflict is most likely to arise unnoticed, so it is the situation in which the check matters most. Where a conflict exists, PrecedentIQ declines the brief and says so, without disclosing what the conflict is.
Access within PrecedentIQ is limited to the advocates and researchers actually working a given brief rather than open across the bench, and everyone with access is bound by confidentiality undertakings that continue for as long as the underlying obligation of confidence does. Papers are used only to perform the brief they were sent for, and are not used to train systems for use outside PrecedentIQ.
Two chambers instructing on the same subject in unrelated matters will not find their positions cross-pollinated. Nothing learned working one brief is carried into another, and no chamber is told that PrecedentIQ works for any other.
Send a brief describing the matter and the support required. A scope and a fee follow the reading of the papers.
The more precisely the question is framed, the more useful the first draft is. What forum, what stage, what relief, what has already been filed, and what the instructing advocate wants answered are worth more than a large bundle sent without a covering note. Where the papers are voluminous, saying which parts matter saves time on both sides.
A conflict check runs first, a scope and a fee follow once the record has been read, and the work begins once that is agreed. An advocate who is unsure whether a matter falls inside a hub can ask through the Contact page before sending anything, and PrecedentIQ will say plainly whether it is a brief it takes.
