Each card opens a part of the workspace. Start anywhere.
Getting started
What Clerk is — an agentic workspace, not a chatbot — and how to open your first matter. Learn how the agent reads the case file and shows its reasoning at every step.
Matters & files
Create a matter, upload scanned judgments and contracts in French or German, and let Clerk OCR every page to extract facts, clauses and dates you can work from.
The agent's tools
Clerk has its own file system and tools. See how it plans a task, opens the documents that apply, reads them in full and reports back what it actually used.
Jurisprudence search
Search the full Luxembourg corpus of 45,957 decisions. Clerk opens the ones that apply, reads them in full and cites each to its public source on justice.public.lu.
Drafting & export
Draft mises en demeure, conclusions and plaidoiries straight from the file, then export formatted .docx or PDF on your firm's own letterhead — ready to review, sign and file.
Sharing & roles
Share matters as lead, contributor or observer, message colleagues in real time, and grant or revoke document access. Firm roles and per-member usage limits live here too.
Compute the délai, cite the article
Clerk computes procedural délais, prescription, préavis and indemnité de départ in seconds, cites the governing article, and puts the échéance on the matter calendar — the same actions the agent runs on a live file.
- Délais, prescription, préavis and indemnité de départ
- Every result cites its governing article — for example L.124-1 or L.124-7
- The échéance lands on the matter calendar, not just in chat
From sign-up to first draft in four steps
The shortest path through the workspace.
Open a matter
Create your first matter and upload the case file — scanned judgments or contracts in French or German. Clerk OCRs every page and extracts the facts, clauses and dates.
Ask the agent
Give Clerk the task in plain language. It reads the file, searches the Luxembourg jurisprudence, computes the délais and shows its reasoning at every step.
Check the citations
Clerk declares the decisions it actually read this turn, links every citation to its public source, and flags any claim it couldn't ground — so you can verify before you rely on it.
Draft and export
Turn the work into a mise en demeure, conclusions or plaidoirie, then export formatted .docx or PDF on your firm's letterhead — ready to review, sign and file.
What the docs cover
Documentation questions
Is this the full product manual?
This is the guide to working with Clerk — a hub that points you into each part of the workspace, from your first matter to jurisprudence search, deadlines and export. Use the topic cards above to go deeper on the area you need.
Do I need to learn a query language?
No. You work with Clerk in plain language. It has its own tools and file system, reads the case file, and shows its reasoning as it searches jurisprudence, computes délais and drafts documents.
How does Clerk handle my scanned documents?
Upload scanned judgments or contracts in French or German. Clerk OCRs every page and extracts the facts, clauses and dates so the agent can work from them on the matter.
Can I trust the citations in a draft?
Clerk declares the decisions it actually read each turn, links every citation to its public source on justice.public.lu, and flags any claim it couldn't ground — so every reference is checkable.
Where is my data while I work?
Within EU data residency. Your content is never used to train third-party models, and personal data is anonymised before any AI processing, with human review of every replacement. See the security pages for detail.
