RoboLawyer was designed to make business law accessible to startups and small businesses in the UK. In our experience and research we know that there is a huge underserved market of these types of business that simply will not approach lawyers due to the unknown nature and cost of business legal services. We exist to serve that need and strive to empower small businesses to deal with their legal matters themselves.
This platform was built by Zarek (a corporate and commercial solicitor in the UK who previously ran a small firm advising technology companies) and Aiman (a financial professional specialised in data analysis and management). Having also run small businesses, we are passionate about empowering others to take control of their legal affairs. We have combined our skills, knowledge and experience to build and deliver a legal platform that serves as a modern alternative to using a lawyer.
The reality of most legal work for startups and small businesses is that it is fairly standard. As a non-lawyer you probably have no idea what is required of you, and there is a common misconception that you always need a business lawyer to do anything. This is wrong: you know your business better than your lawyer ever will and you can do most standard legal work yourself. RoboLawyer gives you the knowledge and a framework within which you can be sure that you are checking all the boxes that need to be checked. RoboLawyer makes it simple, delivers perfect results and handles the entire process for you.
Yes, we've designed it for exactly this purpose. You are guided through everything. Inline help is available where it is needed. You only provide minimal information when it is required of you. We remove anything that is overwhelming or daunting. We make the entire legal process transparent and easy to understand. If you are capable of running your own business we have no doubt that you can use RoboLawyer too.
RoboLawyer does not provide legal advice. It is designed for cases where terms are already agreed between parties, but it can also serve as a guide for which terms need to be discussed in the early stages too. You can think of RoboLawyer as an alternative to engaging a law firm for the preparation of documents and handling the process of sharing them with the parties, negotiating the wording, obtaining signatures and assembling the final documents.
Guidance is built in at every step of the RoboLawyer process. We are of course readily available if you come across any technical problems or have ideas for things that may be useful to all of our users.
RoboLawyer deals with corporate and commercial law in England and Wales. Corporate law involves matters arising under the Companies Act 2006 and similar legislation and relates primarily to how companies and other legal entities work and the things they can do. Commercial law relates to the relationships between companies and their customers.
We charge a one-off fixed fee per legal matter which is paid in advance of access. This includes everything needed to close that matter, regardless of how long you need to do this. It also includes unlimited changes to documents and unlimited circulations to the parties. Each party will also be given an account which they can log in with to comment on and sign their documents. It also includes all final assembled documents in PDF and docx format. You will have continuing access to the matter via the platform, as well as your company's model (including its cap table).
Sure. Please get in touch and we'll discuss.
RoboLawyer will be launching publicly in early 2025. Join our waiting list to be notified when we launch or if you're interested in talking to us before then.
We try and get to know everyone who takes the time to register to see if they'd like to be an early user and help us further shape our product before it becomes generally available. In exchange, everyone we get to know early also gets a lifetime discount on all our products after we launch.
You can also email us if you don't like using contact forms.
