Drafting that argues, not just writes.
Most people who face a court without a lawyer can describe what happened to them. What they cannot easily do is turn that account into a document a court will read the way it reads the work of experienced counsel — properly structured, grounded in real authority, and argued so that each point leads to the next.
CommonBench is built to close that distance. It helps you produce legal documents that meet the standard of serious advocacy: not merely correct in form, but reasoned and persuasive in substance.
Documents that are argued, not just written.
§ 01 — How the drafting works
Three strengths, at once.
§ 01
The craft of the best advocates.
We studied, closely and at length, how the most effective counsel build a written argument — how they order their points, deploy the facts, and carry a reader from a premise to a conclusion. We distilled what they do into a set of reusable drafting principles, so the quality of the best advocacy is built into the way CommonBench writes rather than left to chance.
§ 02
A verified foundation of authority.
Drafting runs on the same citation-integrity engine as the rest of CommonBench. Every authority your document relies on is drawn from a real, reported source and checked before it appears. Your draft will not cite a case that does not exist — the single most damaging mistake a legal document can make.
§ 03
Jurisdictional awareness.
CommonBench drafts in the conventions of the court that will read your document, across all five jurisdictions it covers — the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, and the United States. The structure, register, and authorities reflect the system that actually governs your matter.
§ 02 — What it can draft
A document for the moment.
A wide range of documents — each built on the same principles a strong advocate would use, far faster and more affordably than would otherwise be possible.
- AAffidavits, affirmations, and witness statements
- BSkeleton arguments and written submissions
- CApplications, summonses, and their supporting documents
- DLetters before action and substantive correspondence
- EStructured outlines and arguments to take to a lawyer
§ 03 — What the finest advocacy taught us
A matter of architecture.
The gap between adequate drafting and powerful drafting is rarely a matter of vocabulary. The same moves recur, again and again — and CommonBench encodes them.
i.
Lead with strength.
Put your most compelling point where it will be read first, rather than burying it in the middle.
ii.
Let the documents do the work.
The most persuasive submission is often built from the other side’s own words, turned to your advantage.
iii.
Make the reasoning compel.
Order each step so that, by the time the reader reaches your conclusion, it feels less like a request than the only sensible answer.
iv.
Know what to leave unsaid.
Restraint is a tool. The strongest arguments rarely shout.
§ 04 — Pricing

One-time pricing, scaled to complexity, with a 24-hour turnaround. No subscription required.

Enquire →§ 05 — The limits
What drafting cannot do.
A draft is a starting point
A CommonBench draft — a strong one — is still a starting point, not a finished court document. It should be reviewed before it is used, and for anything of importance that review should come from a qualified legal practitioner in the relevant jurisdiction.
The tool can structure an argument and ground it in authority, but it cannot exercise the professional judgment a lawyer brings to strategy, to the specific facts of your case, or to the procedural rules of a particular court. It is not a substitute for instructing counsel, and it does not create a lawyer–client relationship. You remain responsible for everything you file.
