The law is published. It is not accessible.

Every country publishes its legislation, but no two publish it the same way. A regulation might live as a scanned PDF on a ministry portal, a paginated HTML page on an official journal, or a database with no export. Citations differ, languages differ, update cadences differ. For a human researcher this is friction. For a software system (a legal-tech product, a compliance engine, an AI agent) it is a wall.

The result: the same legal text gets re-collected, re-parsed and re-verified by every team that needs it, over and over. Legal Atlas does that work once, at source, and keeps it fresh.

The coverage, in numbers

Every source is verified directly at its official portal before it is indexed: no third-party aggregators, no secondary copies.

Legislation, case law, doctrine: organised by domain

Legal Atlas does not stop at statute text. It indexes legislation, case law, legal doctrine and parliamentary proceedings, and classifies every item into the domains teams actually query against.

Finance

Labor & Tax

IP & Media

Built for the systems that consume law

A PDF is written for a human. An API response is written for a machine. Legal Atlas is API-first: legal-tech SaaS, law firms running research at scale, and teams building AI agents that need to reason over real, current law can integrate it directly into their workflows, and explore it first through an interactive web playground.

Pro

Programmatic access at 120 requests per minute: for products and research pipelines.

Enterprise

600 requests per minute, an SLA and dedicated support: for legal-data at production scale.

Why Cleo built this

Cleo’s compliance engine already reads regulation across 100+ countries to tell brands whether they can sell a product in a given market. Legal Atlas is the foundation underneath it, opened up: the same authenticated, structured, continuously refreshed legal corpus, now available to anyone building on top of law, not just product compliance.

Browse the jurisdictions, test the API, see what’s indexed.
