Problems when practising law. I studied law. I was passionate about becoming a lawyer. I trained, qualified and worked as a corporate and commercial lawyer. I operated a regulated legal practice advising technology companies in London for years. I dealt with hundreds of clients. I ran deals. I drafted agreements. I handled negotiations. I dealt with third parties. I dealt with other lawyers. I dealt with redlined tracked documents. I dealt with photographs of signed documents. I ran completion meetings online and offline. I put together transaction bibles. I filed documents with registrars. I made silly mistakes that I had to fix. I had risk mitigation on my mind at all times. I feared indemnity insurance claims. I hated using Word's numbering and indenting systems. I was fed up. Software as a solution. I like to write software. I've written it since before I studied law. I figured I could solve a few of my problems with some minor automation. Like collating groups of parties, or calculating share prices. I wrote some simple code. I made fewer mistakes. My job got easier. I was able to focus on advising my clients rather than wrestling with the dullest of procedures. I didn't worry about making silly mistakes, or rounding errors when calculating share prices. The result. I decided I didn't want to practice law anymore. I decided to together everything I had learnt into one awesome package that others could use. I realised that lawyers aren't really interested in learning code. I thought about what kind of system I wanted to use. I dreamt about how it might look, how slick it would be, or how anybody could and should be able to use it. I started building it. I spent years researching, designing, implementing and testing my work. I wanted it to solve problems. I took feedback, opinions and advice and refined it further. Now I'm inviting others to use it too. -- Zarek Rahman, a solicitor and the developer of RoboLawyer.

Experience vs. technology. RoboLawyer does not use large language models (LLMs) or other machine learning techniques to produce its drafts. This is because legal practice is inherently a set of rules based processes, experience of which is accumulated through time and experience. RoboLawyer's approach is to codify these rules, while keeping them separate from the actual giving of legal advice - that is your job. But it's your choice. RoboLawyer is versatile enough to allow you to plug an LLM into it to serve your needs. For example, you may wish to utilise OpenAI's ChatGPT API (or any other, including your own) along with embeddings to 'chat' with the generated documents. Or you could query the entire firm's dataset with a custom model to extract useful information, such as agreement deadlines, details of parties or company data. These custom additions can be developed to meet your specific needs, but by no means are a requirement to get the best out of RoboLawyer.

Corporate and commercial by default. RoboLawyer was developed by a UK based corporate commercial lawyer and so naturally these are the first matters it supports. Examples include shareholders' agreements, equity finance matters, the creation and issue of convertible loan notes and SAFE/advance subscription agreements, customised articles of association and share purchase agreements. It also supports more general commercial contracts which can be customised rapidly by dragging and dropping entire terms (such as 'customer obligations', 'confidentiality' or 'intellectual property rights') in from our provided term libraries. Built to order. If your primary practice is general corporate and commercial, our default set of matters and term libraries will take you a long way. But if you carry out more specialised transactional work, we can produce matter and precedent workflows that work exactly as you need them to, whether that involves regularly producing aviation finance agreements, negotiating commercial tenancies or putting together influencer promotion agreements. Common law principles. The default jurisdiction is England & Wales. However, since RoboLawyer is built on the principles of common law, so any firm working in a common law jurisdiction might benefit from it.

Request it. We are currently interested in hearing from law firms, in-house lawyers, companies, accelerators and anyone else who may find RoboLawyer to be of use and may wish to participate in the private beta phase. If this is you, please get in touch.

There is no charge during the private beta phase. For after that, we've come up with a value-based pricing system that is simple to understand and is fair to every firm or company regardless of their size. Please get in touch to discuss.

Absolutely. Please request one and we'll be in touch.
