Legal intelligence for in-house counsel in Ireland: how Vizlegal supports regulated sectors
Vizlegal gives in-house legal teams in Ireland structured tracking across planning, judicial reviews, and regulatory decisions. See how it works.
In-house legal functions supporting regulated sectors and national infrastructure programmes carry a workload that does not sit neatly in a single database. Planning files move through multiple authorities. Judicial reviews arrive with little warning. Court calendars shift overnight. Regulatory decisions come from sources that are not straightforward to monitor together.
For in-house counsel, semi-state legal teams, and the firms and engineering practices that advise them, the cost of missing a filing or a rule change is not theoretical. It affects how a matter is run and how quickly an opposing side can gain ground.
Legal intelligence for in-house counsel, built for the Irish context
We have been working since 2019 with solicitors, barristers, and in-house legal teams across the State, including a number of the top 20 firms and the legal departments of several public bodies. Our platform brings planning, regulatory, and judicial review tracking into one searchable environment, across 5m+ structured documents from 15+ Irish legal and regulatory sources.
Workflows: know before you're told
Planning Authority and An Coimisiún Pleanála monitoring runs automatically. High Court and Judicial Review tracking delivers email alerts on listings, hearings, and orders. Court Calendar Automation, unique in the Irish market, converts Circuit Court and High Court Legal Diaries into a feed your team subscribes to directly, with court, judge, time, and Provincial PI callover details included. Every matter where your organisation is a party or notice party, in one place.
Research: plain-English answers, cited to source
Our platform indexes 5m+ documents, including AI summaries of Irish Superior Court judgments, An Coimisiún Pleanála rulings, Data Protection Commissioner decisions, and CJEU materials, alongside consolidated Rules and Practice Directions. The Smart Assistant searches in natural language and returns answers cited to source, with full provenance and no hallucination. Drafting support for briefing notes, board memos, and external counsel handoffs is built in, and queries stay private to your workspace.
Intelligence: the full planning and appeals chain
Case Timelines visualise the entire appeals chain from planning application through An Coimisiún Pleanála, High Court Judicial Review, Court of Appeal, Supreme Court, and CJEU, in a single screen. Litigation and planning intelligence is available as a regular email service or as bespoke reports, built around the matters your function is already running.
