Key facts
- ✓Company filings are fetched on request from eleven registries — SEC EDGAR, UK Companies House, ESMA, ACRA, ASIC, SEDAR+, CRO, AFM, FINMA, ISA and DART. There is no monitoring cron behind them; a query fetches, then persists.
- ✓The filings search is enabled per enterprise agreement. It is not switched on in any self-serve plan.
- ✓The applicable-law profile LexVio holds for a jurisdiction is generated, then every statutory claim in it is verified at the official source — nine adapters: GB (legislation.gov.uk), Ireland (Irish Statute Book), the EU (CELLAR), California (leginfo), Germany (gesetze-im-internet, BGB), the Netherlands (wetten.overheid.nl — confirms a citation exists, never “verified”), Australia (Federal Register of Legislation), Hong Kong (DATA.GOV.HK) and Ontario (e-Laws). DIFC is a documented refusal: its terms of use forbid what an adapter does. Everywhere else the answer is “unverified”, and the product says so.
- ✓Verification covers statutes and provisions, not case law, and a profile is published only after a named person signs it off — the job that verifies never publishes. Finding the Act is not confirming the claim: “verified” needs the provision text retrieved and the claim's terms present in it.
- ✓Foreign-law comparison sets Indian law side by side with foreign equivalents.
- ✓Cross-border tax analysis covers DTAA treaties, transfer pricing, and permanent establishment.
- ✓Built for Indian firms going global and multinational companies operating in India.

Statute verification
Nine official sources.
Checked, not asserted.
Each statutory claim in a jurisdiction's applicable-law profile is looked up at the source — one search, at most one provision fetch — before a person publishes the profile that the analysis prompt then reads. “Verified” needs the provision text retrieved and the claim's terms present in it; finding the Act alone caps at “unverified”. An outage is never “contradicted”. Case law is not verified this way.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Global Layer do?
Two things. A company-filings search across eleven registries — SEC EDGAR, UK Companies House, ESMA, ACRA, ASIC, SEDAR+, CRO, AFM, FINMA, ISA and DART — fetched on request, and enabled per enterprise agreement rather than on self-serve plans. And jurisdiction profiles: the applicable-law notes LexVio holds for GB, IE, the EU, California, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, Hong Kong and Ontario are checked claim by claim at the official source, and published only by a named person.
Which jurisdictions and sources does it cover?
Filings: SEC EDGAR (US), UK Companies House, ESMA (EU), ACRA (Singapore), ASIC (Australia), SEDAR+ (Canada), CRO (Ireland), AFM (Netherlands), FINMA (Switzerland), ISA (Israel) and DART (Korea) — eleven registries, one query. Profile verification runs against nine official sources; the Netherlands adapter only confirms a cited article exists, because no official English text of the Civil Code exists to compare wording against. Everywhere else a claim is reported as unverified — an honest answer, not a stub.
Who is the Global Layer for?
It is built for Indian firms going global and for multinational companies operating in India that need to research law across borders.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.2 or later, and the platform is aligned with the DPDP Act 2023.
