Find the precedent.
Draft the document.
A research and drafting workstation built for South African law firms. 72,000+ court judgments, 13 specialist drafting agents, every citation verified before it lands.
The leading authority is Cape Pacific Ltd v Lubner Controlling Investments 1995 (4) SA 790 (A). Piercing is warranted where the corporate personality is abused, typically to commit fraud or evade obligations. Later cases have refined the test without displacing it.
Good attorneys spend too much time on work software should do.
Hours lost to research
Attorneys spend 4–8 hours per matter reading through SAFLII, tracking citations, and building precedent lists by hand.
Citation risk
Generic AI tools hallucinate case law. One fabricated citation in a pleading damages credibility and costs clients.
Drafting from scratch
Every pleading, contract, and opinion starts from a blank page or an outdated precedent file in a shared drive.
Three steps from question to drafted document.
Ask
Type a legal question in plain English. RDS searches 72,000 SA judgments and surfaces the cases that actually matter.
Cite
Every answer comes with verified citations, case excerpts, and direct links to SAFLII and the original judgment.
Draft
Hand off to a practice-area drafting agent. It produces pleadings, opinions, or contracts with citations already built in.
A complete research and drafting workstation.
Purpose-built for South African law. Not a repackaged US product.
Research Agent
Retrieval over 72,000 SA judgments with semantic search. Returns cited excerpts, not link soup.
