Abstract:Competition law experts conducting legal research must review extensive volumes of cases, decisions, and judicial reports to identify precedents and assess key elements in competition and merger cases. Although general research assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT and legal assistants such as SaulLM-7B and LegalGPT are increasingly used to assist legal research, they remain inadequate for competition law analysis: they lack specialized domain expertise, provide insufficient official citations, or hallucinate competition law cases. We propose Maat, a ReAct agent that orchestrates tools corresponding to different tasks of the research process. Designed iteratively with competition law experts, Maat grounds cases and findings in official sources using RAG for reliability, provides rich in-line citations, falls back to web search when database coverage is insufficient, and prompts the user for clarification when queries are ambiguous. Maat significantly outperforms all baseline assistants on case-specific tasks and performs within range of the top baseline on theoretical question tasks. The dataset used is available on GitHub.
