Common challenges for law firms
Complex trust structures are hard to explain
Clients struggle to understand written advice. Diagrams make the difference — but take too long to create. Only used for high-value clients.
Restructures require multiple diagram versions
Showing 'current' vs. 'proposed' is manual work. Changes ripple through the entire diagram. Hours spent nudging boxes and re-drawing lines.
No firm-wide standards
Different lawyers use different tools and styles. Junior staff produce inconsistent outputs. Hard to maintain a professional brand.
Advice clarity impacts client confidence
Clear diagrams strengthen client confidence and internal understanding. Visual quality reflects firm quality. Diagrams are evidence you understand the structure.
How it works
Built for legal workflows
Define the structure
Current trusts, companies, individuals and partnerships. Ownership, control, and beneficial interests. Built-in validation prevents invalid structures and relationships.
Show proposed changes
Use Snapshots to show point-in-time or period-in-time views. Use filter-groups to compare current vs. proposed. Scenario planning built in. Validate proposed structures before implementation.
Export for advice documents
PNG export for high-res presentations. PDF export for advice memos. Client-ready diagrams in minutes, with logo and headings.
Compliance built in
Not just a drawing tool — structure-aware modelling
StructureGram includes validation rules specific to legal work. The system won't let you create structures that don't make sense — visually or legally.
Result: Advice backed by structurally sound diagrams.

Questions from law firms
What validation rules are included for legal work?
All entities and relationships follow standard Australian rules and practice. This includes companies, trusts, partnerships, SMSFs, and individuals. Ownership limits at 100%. Circular ownership prevention. SMSF member limits. SMSF trustee type requirements. Share class tracking. Off-diagram ownership interests tracked to show actual '% interests'. No partnerships-of-partnerships. Asset ownership types (sole, tenants-in-common and joint tenants). Rules are enforced automatically as you work. When drawing on canvas, 'smart targeting' presents only valid relationships.
Can I show testamentary trust structures?
Yes. Model all the common trust types, including discretionary trusts, unit trusts, hybrid trusts, bare trusts and testamentary trusts. Define trustee entities, appointors, primary beneficiaries, and beneficiary classes.
How do I show current vs. proposed structures?
Use the scenario builder to model proposed entities and relationships, without impacting the underlying data. Use temporal 'snapshots' to see what entities and structures existed at different points in time. Use filter groups to zero in one particular structures and relationships.Validation runs on all scenarios independently.
Can I customise diagrams to match our firm's branding?
Yes. Set firm-wide styles including logo, colours, fonts, shapes and sizes. All staff use the same visual language — shapes for different entity types, colours for different relationships and statuses.
Is this suitable for complex family structures?
Yes. Model trusts, companies, individuals, partnerships, and SMSFs with complex interrelationships. No limits on entity count or relationship complexity.
What family structures can I model?
The family tree diagram lets you model any family scenario. Spouse relationships — married, de facto, married-separated, de facto-separated and widowed. Parent-child relationships — biological, adopted, legal guardian and foster.
Can I export diagrams for inclusion in advice documents?
Yes. Export to PDF or PNG at print resolution. Both include colour, auto-generated legends, and your firm logo. Ready to drop into Word, PowerPoint, or any advice document.
