The missing piece for
your practice

Built by a criminal lawyer who understood everything a practice management system doesn't do. Every feature exists to fill a gap.

Court matching

Automatic court list matching

Never check a law list again. Every Queensland court list is read the moment it's published, and you're alerted the moment a client appears, including the one nobody diarised, and the client from two years ago.

Daily matches

Acquit continuously scans published and draft law lists across Queensland and matches them instantly against your clients. Matches appear instantly and are tracked for any changes throughout the day.

Tasks

Nothing falls through the cracks

Every task has an owner, a due date, and the client it belongs to. Nothing waits in someone's inbox.

Deadlines & reminders

Set due dates, get reminded before they pass. Urgent tasks surface automatically so nothing is missed.

Linked to clients & court dates

Every task connects to a client, charge group, or court date, so you always know the context behind the work.

Suggested from your notes

Court in a few days, and your file note says the affidavit still isn't signed. If there's no task for it, Acquit suggests one. Add it in a click, or dismiss it. Most days it stays quiet.

Priority & status tracking

Prioritise what matters, track progress from pending to complete, and see your backlog at a glance.

Productivity analytics

Track completion rates, on-time performance, backlog trends, and aging tasks across your practice.

Document generation

Court documents, drafted from the file

Upload the QP9 you already have. Registry committals, s651 applications and bail documents come out pre-filled, and every approved bail condition joins a firm-wide library for next time.

Charge extraction

Upload a QP9 or bench charge sheet and charges are extracted automatically, matched to penalties, elections, and legislative references.

Registry committals & s651

Generate registry committals and s651 applications pre-filled from your client's charges and details. No re-typing.

Bail applications & orders

Draft Supreme and District Court bail applications and court-ready orders from a checklist of standard conditions, in grant or variation mode, with approved conditions saved to a firm-wide clause library.

GOAT offence lookup

Search any Queensland or Commonwealth offence for maximum penalties, court elections, committal pathways, and legislative references, instantly.

SELECTED CHARGE Possessing Dangerous Drugs [s9] Drugs Misuse Act 1986 (Qld)
MAXIMUM PENALTY 15 years imprisonment
COURT ELECTION Can be dealt with summarily on prosecution election
LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE Drugs Misuse Act s14

Lexon EMR audit

Insurance file reviews in a fraction of the time

Lexon's bi-monthly EMR file reviews mean digging through each matter for dates, deadlines, and activity. Acquit compiles each file's dates, tasks and activity into a print-ready data sheet, mapped to the EMR questions they answer.

Evidence compiled per file

Court dates, diarised tasks, and file activity are pulled together into a per-file data sheet and mapped to the EMR questions they help answer.

Print-ready review pack

Generate a print-ready pack, one data sheet per file, and download the current Lexon form for your practice type (Paperless or Paper) right alongside it.

Single file or a random sample

Review one file from its profile, or randomly sample a batch of current files into one pack, the random selection Lexon's review calls for.

Built for the bi-monthly cycle

The current review period and the file author are filled in for you, and files opened more than nine months ago are flagged automatically.

Record outcomes

From the bar table to your diary, in a photo

You've just appeared on 12 mentions. Instead of typing the results one by one, take a photo of the marked-up file notes on the way out, and the next dates, adjournments and deadlines are in your diary before you reach the car park.

Print your day as file notes

One QR-stamped sheet per matter, or a whole court in a single click. Each one arrives pre-filled with what Acquit already knows: client, court, room and date.

Mark up by hand, then just take a photo or scan

Tick the boxes and write the next date the way you always have. Photograph the stack, or scan it to one PDF. We figure out your handwriting, you confirm, and the results are saved, synced and sent automatically for town agencies.

Outcomes file themselves

Next dates created and synced to your calendar, the appearance adjourned and linked, brief and disclosure deadlines logged. Nothing to re-type at 6pm.

Brisbane Court 20 callover, sorted

Appearing in a Monday, Wednesday or Friday callover? Acquit prints the court's own callover sheet in front of your notes, already filled in and titled for the day (summary on Wednesday, committal on Monday and Friday). For the Wednesday list, it even emails the registry before the Tuesday deadline.

A brief on the sheet for whoever covers it

Write a short set of instructions for each matter, what to seek, the bail position, the fallback, and it prints right in the file note for the colleague, clerk or agent who covers the appearance. Let AI draft it from the matter history, print any solicitor's whole list in one go, and get a reminder the afternoon before if a matter still has none.

Disclosure

Know what the prosecution still owes you

A brief arrives in pieces. Four statements now, the bodycam later, the certificate whenever the officer gets to it. Acquit keeps the list of what hasn't turned up, and the date you asked for it.

Upload the index, get the gaps

Drop in the QP 0541 Index to Brief and Acquit reads the witness and exhibit tables, scans included. Anything the Attached column marks N, or leaves blank, comes through as outstanding. You see every row it read before a thing is saved.

No index? Most matters don't have one

On a summary charge there's rarely an index at all. Add what you're chasing and the day you asked: the QP9, the intercept footage, the analyst's certificate. It tracks the same way.

The due dates sit above the list

Brief of evidence due, disclosure due, indictment due. The same dates as your diary, shown where they mean something. When one passes and items are still open, the row goes red and says how many.

Log the problems, not just the gaps

An unreadable disc, a statement supplied in part, a flat refusal. Raise it against the item, resolve it when it's sorted, and it stays on the file either way.

The chase writes itself down

Asked on the 3rd, received on the 12th, chased twice in between. Every step lands dated on the matter's timeline. If disclosure is ever argued, the file already has the answer.
