Pain Points Splitifi Addresses for Counsel
The brief quality problems that cost barristers preparation time before every hearing
Poorly Organised Briefs
Briefs from instructing solicitors often arrive without consistent indexing, with financial documents scattered across multiple folders, and with calculations that need verification before reliance. Brief preparation consumes time that should go to advocacy.
Evidence Retrieval Under Time Pressure
Finding a specific bank statement, property valuation, or email during cross-examination preparation — or worse, during proceedings — from hundreds of pages of unindexed brief materials creates unnecessary pressure on counsel.
Calculation Verification Burden
Child support figures, property asset valuations, and superannuation splitting calculations in briefs often need independent verification before reliance in submissions. Unverified calculations in pleadings carry professional risk for the bar.
Matter Timeline Reconstruction
Reconstructing the relationship and legal timeline from scattered documents — to understand the sequence of events, prior orders, and contributions history — is time-consuming and prone to gaps that can emerge under cross-examination.
Why Barristers and Their Instructing Solicitors Use Splitifi
Tools that improve brief quality, reduce preparation time, and support stronger submissions
Organised, Indexed Brief Materials
When instructing solicitors use Splitifi, briefs arrive with indexed financial documents, evidence bundles, and chronological timelines — making preparation faster and more thorough from the first read through.
Instant Evidence Search
Search across the entire brief — financial documents, communications, affidavits, and evidence — instantly. Find the document you need in seconds rather than minutes during late-night preparation or directions hearings.
Matter Timeline Visualisation
See the full relationship and legal chronology at a glance — cohabitation, marriage, key events, prior orders, property acquisitions, and financial transactions — in a visual timeline that supports submissions on contributions.
Rapid Calculation Verification
Verify child support figures using the official CSA formula, cross-check Section 79 property analyses, and audit superannuation splitting calculations against fund-specific procedures in seconds — not hours.
Section 79 Analysis Review
Review structured four-step property analyses with documented contributions assessments and s75(2) future needs modelling — enabling counsel to identify strengths and weaknesses in the client's position before hearing.
Prior Orders and Undertakings Summary
Automatic consolidation of all prior court orders, undertakings, consent arrangements, and interim orders — giving counsel a clear picture of existing obligations and restrictions before appearing.

What Barristers and Instructing Solicitors Say
"When solicitors brief me on matters prepared through Splitifi, I immediately notice the difference. The financial statements are complete, the calculations are verified, and I can actually search the evidence. It means better preparation in less time — and fewer surprises in the witness box."
"The timeline tool is genuinely useful in complex property matters with long cohabitation and multiple asset acquisitions. Being able to see the full financial history visually makes the contributions analysis much clearer during preparation and in submissions."
"I briefed in a matter last month where the instructing solicitor had used Splitifi throughout. The client's Form 13 was complete, the super splitting worksheets were ready, and I had a clean timeline of the cohabitation period. Conference preparation took half the usual time."
Encourage Your Instructing Solicitors
The quality of briefs you receive depends on the tools your instructing solicitors use. When solicitors prepare matters through Splitifi, briefs arrive with indexed evidence, verified calculations, complete financial disclosure, and visual timelines already built.
Better-organised briefs mean better conference preparation, cleaner submissions, and less time spent on procedural issues in directions hearings.
