Lead With Your Paper
Lead With Your Own Paper
Your contracts set the tone for every deal.
The right contracts don’t just protect you — they help you move faster, look professional, and close on your terms. That’s what we mean by leading with your paper.
-
Set the Standard – Your contracts define the playing field from the start.
-
Move Faster – Clear, custom agreements reduce friction and delays.
-
Build Trust – Professional documents show clients, partners, and investors you’re serious.
-
Protect Your Growth – Solid contracts safeguard your IP, revenue, and relationships.
Why AI Alone Won’t Cut It
AI is amazing for brainstorming. But when it comes to contracts, you need more.
-
Generic, Not Custom – AI doesn’t know your business, investors, or risk profile. You’ll get generic text, not contracts built for your deal.
-
Missing the Details – It looks solid at first — until you realize the “standard” terms left out dispute resolution, IP ownership, or compliance.
-
False Confidence – AI writes in perfect English, which makes the mistakes hard to spot. You won’t know something’s wrong until it’s too late.
-
No One Has Your Back – When things go sideways, AI isn’t standing with you at the table. An attorney is.

Why Our Templates Beat AI-Generated Contracts
Attorney-vetted, practice-tested, and built for real-world use.
AI can generate contract language, but it can’t guarantee accuracy, enforceability, or practical value.
Our templates are drafted and vetted by attorneys, battle-tested in real transactions, and designed with built-in safeguards like intake forms and automations. Plus, they’re flexible — you can even enhance them with AI, including our custom-trained assistant, Betty, available in Client Connect.
⚖️ Attorney-Vetted – Each template is drafted and reviewed by an experienced attorney, not scraped from the internet.
📄 Practice-Tested – Variations of our contracts have been used in real deals, with real companies, and proven effective.
🛠 Smart Workflows – Intake forms and automations guide you through setup to ensure no key detail gets missed.
🤖 AI-Enhanced – Further customize with AI, including Betty, our attorney-trained assistant available under Client Connect
