About LCMS

Two specialists.
One sovereign platform.

Legal and Consulting Managed Services (LCMS) is a partnership between two Canberra-based specialists who recognised that solving FOI properly requires more than great technology — it requires great law, built in from the start.

Together they built ComplyFOI — a platform where practising legal expertise is embedded directly into the AI, not added as an afterthought. Every recommendation is legally grounded. Every decision is auditable and defensible.

The reality

FOI is breaking
agencies.

Government teams are drowning in requests, working across a 'Frankenstein' of disconnected inboxes and spreadsheets, while statutory clocks keep ticking.

Every missed deadline is a compliance and reputational risk.

"The volume and complexity of FOI requests was overwhelming our team. We needed sovereign AI that understood government, not another cloud tool."

— Senior FOI Officer, Government Agency

Statutory deadlines missed

Manual tracking fails at volume. Agencies face escalating review requests, complaints to the IC, and reputational damage.

Inconsistent redaction & exemptions

Without guided decision-making, officers redact and classify differently, creating legal exposure across every request.

Sovereignty & data concerns

Cloud-based tools can't meet the data handling requirements of sensitive government information. Agencies need on-premises control.

No audit trail for review

When decisions get challenged, there's no structured record of how exemptions were applied or who approved what.
