FAQ
SternBench is the offshore legal research product family that includes SternBench Search, SternBench Research, and SternBench Assistant.
Start with SternBench Search when the need is direct authority retrieval. Use SternBench Research when the team wants cited answers on the same corpus. Use SternBench Assistant when the work also includes drafting, revising, or matter-document analysis.
SternBench covers Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, The Bahamas, Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court jurisdictions, and the Privy Council.
SternBench Search supports direct product access. SternBench Research and SternBench Assistant are available through a demo and onboarding process.
Court websites are source repositories. SternBench brings covered offshore jurisdictions into one working database and layers search, AI research, and drafting tools on top of that corpus.
SternBench Research and SternBench Assistant operate on the SternBench offshore case law database rather than a generic model with no dedicated offshore retrieval layer, and the outputs are designed to stay tied to identifiable authorities and source material.
