Open-source legal AI for UK SMEs
Turn a UK construction contract, commercial lease, payment notice, or dilapidations schedule into a negotiation memo in seconds. Each workflow encodes the statutory framework, market norms, and case law so you do not need to. Read the prompts, fork the templates, run it yourself.
legal-construction-contract
Upload a JCT or NEC construction contract to identify the form, extract key terms, flag red flags against UK market norms, check Construction Act compliance, and generate a negotiation memo.
legal-payment-dispute
Diagnose a UK construction payment dispute under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. Checks Payment Notice and Pay Less Notice validity, determines whether a smash-and-grab adjudication is available, and drafts a Notice of Adjudication or pre-action letter.
legal-variation-dispute
Diagnose a contested variation or change instruction under JCT D&B 2016 or NEC4 ECC. Checks validity of the instruction, whether the work is in scope, time and money entitlement, the NEC 8-week time bar, and drafts a position paper or Notice of Compensation Event.
legal-commercial-lease
Upload a UK commercial lease and answer a short questionnaire to extract dangerous clauses, score them against the RICS Code for Leasing Business Premises 2020 and market norms, and generate a plain-English negotiation memo for SME tenants.
legal-riba-appointment
Upload a UK architect's professional appointment or engagement letter (RIBA SPSC 2020 or bespoke). Identifies the form, flags onerous amendments around novation, copyright, net contribution, PI, fee withholding, and limitation of liability, and drafts a negotiation memo.
legal-dilapidations
Upload a landlord's Schedule of Dilapidations together with the underlying lease to cross-reference each scheduled item against the actual repair covenants, apply Section 18(1) Landlord and Tenant Act 1927 analysis, check Pre-Action Protocol compliance, and generate a tenant's Reply to Schedule.
UK construction-legal work runs on a handful of standard forms (JCT D&B 2016, NEC4 ECC, RIBA SPSC 2020, standard commercial leases) and a handful of statutes (Housing Grants Construction Regeneration Act 1996, Landlord and Tenant Acts 1927 and 1954). The first-pass review that solicitors charge £500-£2,000 for is repetitive enough that a well-prompted LLM does it in seconds.
Closed contract-review SaaS lives on long enterprise sales cycles into law firms. Open-source toolkits live in the hands of the SMEs (architects, contractors, subcontractors, tenants) who actually feel the pain. We are picking the second route.
