Workplace meeting records
Prepare structured notes from authorised recordings or post-meeting dictation, retaining speaker attribution and the editable transcript.
AI software for employment law teams.
Capture authorised workplace meetings, organise tribunal documents, and review contracts or settlement agreements for England and Wales matters with source-linked findings and approval-gated redlines.
One matter,
many versions.
Employment files grow through meetings, policies, correspondence, contracts, medical material, and settlement drafts. The team needs a reliable record before it can advise.
Meeting notes lose attribution and important wording.
Grievance, disciplinary, investigation, and settlement discussions become summaries that are difficult to check later.
Key terms are compared manually across documents.
Notice, pay, benefits, restrictions, claims, and proposed settlement terms are repeatedly copied into separate working notes.
Redlines lose their review position as versions multiply.
A quick rewrite can conceal why language changed, which side the review represents, and who approved the amendment.
From meeting record to reviewed agreement
Keep evidence, instructions, analysis, and proposed wording visible as the matter moves from investigation to advice or settlement.
Capture or dictate
Record a meeting only where authorised and appropriate, or dictate a note immediately afterwards. Edit the transcript before generating work.
Extract the terms

to document review.

Accept or reject each change Built for controlled employment review.
Employment rights, status, privilege, admissibility, settlement validity, and tactical choices depend on law, facts, and instructions outside a software-generated summary.
Perspective is explicit
Every review begins from a selected employer or employee position and keeps that objective visible throughout.
Proposals are reversible
Findings are grounded in the uploaded document, and proposed Word changes can be accepted or rejected individually rather than overwriting the agreement.
Recording remains governed
The firm decides whether a workplace discussion should be recorded and obtains any required authority. Ardela also supports post-meeting dictation when recording is inappropriate.
Employment law questions,
answered.
How can employment solicitors use Ardela?
Employment teams can use Ardela for authorised meeting transcription, post-meeting dictation, attendance notes, tribunal matter extraction, cited chronologies, contract analysis, settlement-agreement review, drafting, and matter search. Legal advice and the final work remain with the solicitor.
Can Ardela review employment contracts?
Yes. Ardela supports structured document review from an explicit employer or employee perspective. Findings are grounded in the document, and proposed redlines are produced as native Word tracked changes for individual acceptance or rejection.
Can it review employment settlement agreements?
Yes. A team can review a settlement agreement from the selected employer or employee perspective and inspect proposed changes. The employment solicitor assesses statutory validity and provides the advice required by law.
Can Ardela transcribe grievance or disciplinary meetings?
It can record and transcribe multi-speaker meetings where the firm has decided recording is lawful, appropriate, and authorised. Post-meeting dictation provides an alternative route to a structured note.
Does Ardela replace employment case management software?
Ardela includes matter records, tasks, deadlines, documents, and time entries, but its strongest employment-law workflows are capture, structured document knowledge, drafting, and controlled review. A firm may use it alongside an existing practice-management system.
How does human approval work?
Clara presents rewrites and redlines as proposals. An authorised user decides whether to accept each change, and generated documents remain drafts for the supervising fee-earner to check before use.
Review the record.
Then review the wording.
Bring a representative employment contract, settlement agreement, or matter pack; every resulting note and redline remains a draft for the employment solicitor to approve.
