Ask Counsel about Mary.
Lisa, a store manager, types a question into Counsel. Three seconds later, she has an answer grounded in Mary’s actual contract, her actual attendance, and the current ACAS Code.
Counsel lives natively inside your company. It reads your live employment contracts, your active policies and your real-time roster — then answers in three seconds. 2am Sunday or peak Friday trading.
Generic AI gives generic templates. Advice lines make you explain the backstory every time. Counsel is different. It lives natively inside your data layer — reading the actual contracts, policies and shift logs of your business as they change.
The actual employment contract each employee signed. Variations, addendums, zero-hours clauses, restrictive covenants — the version that's live today, not last year's template.
Your current handbook, your absence policy, your tronc policy, your disciplinary procedure. Whatever's in force today. When you update it, Counsel updates.
The roster as it stands this morning. The attendance log from last night's shift. The fit note that arrived twenty minutes ago. Counsel works with what's true now.
Live readings of gov.uk, ACAS codes of practice, statutory rates and current case-law guidance — not a static training corpus.

Every recommendation shows its working. The clause it read. The handbook section it checked. The gov.uk page it cited. Every conversation is logged with a timestamp, ready to export.
Every recommendation is grounded in three live sources at once: the employee's actual contract, your company handbook, and the current gov.uk + ACAS guidance. Counsel won't make up a clause that isn't there.
Counsel shows you the exact ACAS paragraph, the exact gov.uk page, and the exact contract clause it used. Click through to the source on every answer. Nothing is hidden behind "the model said so."
Every conversation, every recommendation, every action taken — logged with timestamp, source citations, employee record and the manager who acted on it. Export the full PDF for HR, your solicitor or a tribunal preparation pack.
For tribunal-grade exits, scale redundancies, complex grievances or anything where a wrong call has six-figure consequences, Counsel proactively tells you to involve a qualified employment lawyer — and prepares the case brief.
Frontline HR is messier than office HR. Zero-hours contracts, shift swaps, tip pools, no-call-no-shows, dynamic rosters. Counsel reads the contract variation each worker is actually on — not a generic policy template — and gives you the specific script you need, in seconds.
