Example conversation
LexiSA
I'm sorry — that must be stressful. Before I assess this, a few questions: Were you given any written reason for the dismissal? Were you called to any disciplinary hearing at all? Are you a member of a union or bargaining council?
Then: issues identified · LRA ss 185–188 · Sidumo v Rustenburg Platinum · strength assessment · 30-day CCMA deadline flagged

LexiSA never gives an unsourced answer. Every statement of law is tied to a statute, regulation, code or judgment you can verify — enforced in software, not just a style guideline: if an answer can't be traced to a real source in LexiSA's corpus, it doesn't get shown. LexiSA clearly distinguishes legal information from legal advice, and refers you to a practising attorney when your matter needs one. Broadening access to justice — understanding the law that applies to you without paying a consultation fee just to find out where you stand — is the whole point.

Frequently asked questions
Is LexiSA legal advice?+
No. LexiSA gives legal information, not legal advice, and says so clearly in every answer. It doesn't create an attorney-client relationship. For advice on your specific circumstances, LexiSA will point you to a practising attorney when your matter needs one.
How is this different from just asking ChatGPT?+
Every LexiSA answer is tied to a real, verifiable South African source — a statute, regulation, code or judgment — and that's enforced in software: an answer that can't be traced to a real source in LexiSA's own corpus doesn't get shown. A general AI chatbot has no such guarantee and can state South African law incorrectly with total confidence.
What does LexiSA cost?+
Free to start (5 Chat to Lex questions a month). Paid plans run R69–R999/month depending on what you need — unlimited chat, document drafting and analysis, or a 5-seat Firm bundle. Full pricing is published upfront on the Pricing page, no sales call required.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Cancel a Personal or Professional subscription any time from your Account page — no notice period, no cancellation fee. You keep full access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for.
What areas of South African law does LexiSA cover?+
14 practice areas, including Labour Law, Family Law, Property Law, Criminal Law, Consumer Law, Commercial Law, Civil Litigation, Estate Law, Company Law, Tax Law, Constitutional Law, Discrimination Law, Administrative Law and Data Protection Law.
Can LexiSA draft documents for me?+
Yes — demand letters, CCMA referrals, affidavits and agreements, professionally formatted and citing the authorities that support them, exportable to Word and PDF.
Is LexiSA only for individuals, or can employers and attorneys use it too?+
All three. Individuals use it to understand their own legal position; employers use the dedicated For Employers guidance; attorneys and practitioners get faster research and drafting, with a Firm plan for teams.
Is my information private?+
Yes. LexiSA is built to be POPIA compliant — your data is encrypted and never sold.
