Draft Your Startup Paperwork.
Understand It Before You Sign.
Dogetlawyer AI helps founders and SMEs draft routine documents such as NDAs and review commercial contracts, for you to check and, where needed, take to an independent professional. Supported content focuses on England and Wales unless labelled otherwise. The free plan has a one-time AI allowance and limits on document builds and questions; see Pricing.
Prepare your first draft before taking advice.
Startups need to budget for drafting and professional advice on documents such as NDAs, employment contracts and privacy policies. For supported document types, Dogetlawyer's AI can help prepare a first draft for you and a qualified adviser to review.
Six Ways Dogetlawyer Helps With Business Paperwork
NDAs and Agreements
For supported agreement types, use AI to prepare a first draft, then check the governing jurisdiction before use.
HR and Employment Drafts
For supported employment document types, prepare a first draft and have a qualified adviser check it against current employment law.
IP and Founder Documents
For supported IP and founder document types, use AI to prepare a draft for professional review. Who owns your code and brand depends on the signed documents and the law, so take advice.
Due Diligence Agent
Upload an inbound contract from a supplier or landlord. Our Contract Intelligence tool flags clauses that may need attention, such as liabilities, payment terms and termination clauses, for you to review.
Insolvency Early Warning
Our AI agent provides general information on directors' duties, wrongful trading risks and restructuring options. It is not insolvency advice: speak to a qualified professional if your business is in financial difficulty.
Independent Professional Review
When your startup grows into complex territory (Series A funding, M&A, complex equity disputes), the AI can help prepare your brief for review by an independent professional through Telelegal. Availability, scope and fees vary.

Legal & Compliance Answers for SMEs
Can Dogetlawyer completely replace a startup lawyer?
More Details: Our legal-tech software is designed to help with early-stage drafting of standard NDAs, HR policies and basic IP documents. However, AI cannot provide regulated legal advice or represent your startup in a funding round. When your SME scales to the point of raising institutional capital, issuing complex equity (options pools), or facing litigation, you can request review by an independent solicitor or other professional through our Telelegal network; availability, scope and fees vary.
How do I generate an NDA or employment contract?
More Details: Dogetlawyer uses a curated legal knowledge base alongside AI drafting; coverage varies by document type and jurisdiction. Whether you are generating a mutual NDA before speaking to investors, or creating an employment contract for a new hire, the AI produces a draft for you to check against the law of your selected region.
Is my startup's proprietary code and sensitive business data safe?
More Details: We understand that uploading unreleased IP, vendor lists, or trade secrets requires absolute trust. Our Privacy Policy and Security page describe our security practices. Safety, abuse-prevention and operational records may exist for limited periods under the applicable contracted service.
Can Dogetlawyer help my growing business with HR and GDPR compliance?
More Details: Ensuring you have the right policies in place is critical to avoiding tribunal claims. Our AI drafts Employee Handbooks, IT & Social Media policies, remote working agreements and Data Protection (GDPR) documents, where supported, as starting points for you to review with a qualified adviser.
What does the Contract Due Diligence Agent actually do?
More Details: Supplier contracts and commercial leases may contain terms that deserve professional review before signing. Our Contract Intelligence tool aims to surface auto-renewals, uncapped liabilities and unusual intellectual property terms, explaining them in plain English for you to check before you sign.
Does Dogetlawyer help with Founder Agreements and IP assignments?
More Details: Undocumented intellectual property ownership can raise questions during funding due diligence. Where supported, our platform allows founders to draft standard IP transfer documents and collaboration agreements for review. For complex equity structures, vesting schedules or issuing shares, seek a solicitor with relevant experience and authority to advise in the governing jurisdiction.
What happens if a vendor sneaks an unfair clause into a commercial contract?
More Details: SMEs often lack the budget to have a lawyer review every single B2B SaaS or supplier agreement. Upload the document to Dogetlawyer, and the AI will analyze it clause-by-clause. It aims to highlight auto-renewals, uncapped indemnities and unbalanced termination rights in plain English, which may help you decide what to query with the other side.
Can Dogetlawyer assist SMEs facing financial distress or potential insolvency?
More Details: When cash flow gets tight, business owners need fast answers regarding wrongful trading and creditor obligations. The AI can explain restructuring and insolvency topics; check its answers against current law and qualified advice. Financial distress can carry personal liability for directors. The AI can help organise your questions, but seek advice from an appropriately authorised insolvency practitioner or a solicitor with relevant insolvency experience.
Is it safe to use Dogetlawyer for cross-border deals across the UK, Ireland, and the US?
More Details: State the governing jurisdiction in your request. The AI may miss conflicts between legal systems, so obtain qualified advice on cross-border deals.
How quickly can I escalate an AI draft to a human Telelegal professional?
More Details: If you generate a contract or summarize a complex lease and realize the stakes are too high to proceed without formal legal sign-off, you don't have to start over. Dogetlawyer can package your AI session context and document draft into a brief that you share with an independent professional through Telelegal. Doing so may reduce time spent on fact-finding, but fees are set by the professional and vary.
