About

About

Syncopate designs digital products that change the way you relate to the law.  

​

Law will always need text, but text no longer needs paper. The rule of law in future will be shaped by law as data, not paper.  

​

We are building the tools we wish we had from our experience in development, research, legal practice, writing and publishing.  

​

Our tools bring relief from mounting complexity, while embedding the values expected of digital public infrastructure.  

​

If you work with legal documents,
we want to work with you. 

At Syncopate, we're constantly working with law using digital systems: creating research and publication tools, testing artificial intelligence, and developing rules as code.  

​

We’re designing products for real-world use-cases, based on our own experiences. We’ll improve security, efficiency, and effectiveness for people working in complex commercial, political, regulatory, and legal processes.  

​

We’re also embedding the values and principles that we expect to be incorporated in digital public infrastructure.  

​

We’re currently working with legal instruments from the European Union, the United Nations, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Australia and offer a bespoke document conversion service. You can also register for updates on future product releases by contacting us here
