Use cases

Every result carries the exact source URL to the original document at the publisher.

Cross-jurisdictional research

Lawyers regularly need to know how a principle of European law is treated across more than one jurisdiction. With Moonlit connected, Claude runs the search across the named jurisdictions in a single pass and groups results so the picture is legible: who has said what, where.

How is the principle of legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR treated by the CJEU and the Hoge Raad between 2023 and 2026? Cite each ruling at its source URL.

Claude returns a short digest grouped by court. Each entry carries the court, the date, the ECLI or CELEX, a one-line holding, and the source URL to the original ruling.

Comparative jurisdiction analysis

Cross-border work needs a comparison of how different jurisdictions handle the same substantive issue. Semantic search finds conceptually relevant material regardless of language, so one English question reaches Dutch, German, Belgian, and EU sources together.

Compare the enforceability of non-compete clauses in employment contracts across the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. Surface the key recent decisions and the controlling statutory provisions.

The answer is a side-by-side breakdown per jurisdiction. Each side names the controlling statute, two or three decisive rulings with dates and citations, and a one-line summary of the rule that comes out of them.

Article-level interpretation

When advice depends on how courts have actually applied a specific article, you want the text and the interpreting body together. Claude pulls the article from the regulation, then runs an article-level reference search to show how courts have read it.

Show me Article 22 of the GDPR and the leading EU and Dutch judgments interpreting it since 2020. One-line holding for each.

The article text comes first, followed by a chronological list of judgments. Each entry has court, date, ECLI, one-line holding, and a Moonlit citation. The reference walk is one tool call against the 32,000+ incoming references on the GDPR alone.

Regulation lookup with regulator guidance

Drafting and advising often need both the binding text and any supervisory guidance. Claude resolves the regulation by name, pulls the requested article, and surfaces guidance documents from the relevant regulator that reference it.

Pull Article 6 of the EU AI Act, then find any Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens guidance referencing it. Cite both.

Article text up top. AP guidance documents that cite the article below it. Both halves carry Moonlit citation links so the source can be opened in one click.

Compliance memo with regulator commentary

Compliance memos combine the regulation itself with what the supervisor has said about it. Claude pulls the regulation, scopes a guidance search to the relevant country and date range, and weaves the two together.

Draft a one-page memo on MiCA's stablecoin licensing regime. Cite the regulation directly and include any DNB guidance issued between 2024 and 2026.

A one-page memo: regulation summary, licensing requirements, DNB guidance in its own paragraph. Every claim links back to a Moonlit document.

Drafting grounded in primary sources

When drafting a clause or memo, every load-bearing claim should rest on an actual judgment or statute rather than a hallucinated cite. Claude searches for relevant authority, retrieves the document, and threads citations into the draft as it goes.

Draft a limitation of liability clause for a SaaS agreement under Dutch law. Back each design choice with the leading case law on enforceability.

A draft clause followed by a short rationale paragraph per design choice, each pointing to a specific Hoge Raad or lower-court judgment with a Moonlit citation.
