I can’t believe I have to say this again — STOP FORWARDING YOUR CONTRACTS TO LEGAL. You need to:

  • Upload your contract to the CLM and fill out all the form fields for counterparty (MAKE SURE TO USE THE EXACT LEGAL ENTITY NAME OR WE WON’T PICK IT UP) and all the other values for the contract type
  • Create a ticket in Jira and make sure to provide all the context about the deal (follow the guide)
  • We will get a response back to you within 7 business days
  • Our paralegal will pick it up, search the CLM to make sure it all checks out, and then route to the right attorney (expect 2–4 days)
  • The attorney will review and send you any redlines (may take longer if our playbooks aren’t comprehensive — expect about a week)

And please stop harassing our paralegal for faster timelines — they are swamped, and need to manually check everything in the CLM, route to the correct attorney, wait if the playbooks don’t cover the situation. These things take a lot of time and we need your patience and cooperation. THANK YOU!

03 — The Brain

Architect your intelligence

Make Clause do things your way, with access to every frontier model and a deeply powerful modular intelligence system.

Every instruction Clause operates on is observable, auditable, and malleable. No hidden system prompt, no automatic memories, no prompts that leave you scratching your head: “why did Clause do that?”

Brain — intelligence modules

yours to edit

Soul

Non-negotiables

Never accept unlimited liability. Every position cites a reason.

Playbook

MSA — Limitation of liability

Cap at 12 months’ fees. Carve out confidentiality and IP.

Play

If they strike the cap

Trade for a mutual cap before escalating to a human.

Standard

House conventions

CC legal@ on every NDA. Defined terms in Title Case.

Communication

Cover letters

Short and plain. Lead with what changed and why.

QA Check

Every redline answers an ask

Quentin verifies each change traces to a request or a rule.

04 — The repository

Agentic CLM

Automatically maintain document relationships, negotiation lineage, extracted fields, surrounding deal context, and how everything fits together — just by emailing Clause. Then search through it with ease.

Everything Clause does is deeply indexed, relational, and searchable, down to every redline and playbook-rule usage. Use natural language to extract structured fields and answer questions about your contracts.

05 — Quality

Relentless QA

In contracts, there is no “good enough” — yet “good enough” is where chat products stop today.

Clause deploys multiple agents using frontier models, constantly battling back and forth until they all agree the work is correct.

By the time the human gets into the loop, all they need is a light touch.

Clause × Quentin — review loop

C
Counter ready. Liability cap at 12 months’ fees, mutual, with the confidentiality carve-out.
Q
✗ not yetSection 9.2 still cross-references the uncapped draft, and their data-breach carve-out ask went unanswered. Redo it.
C
Fixed the 9.2 cross-reference; answered the breach carve-out per playbook.
Q
✗ not yetThe cover letter claims three changes — the document has four. Fix the letter.
C
Cover letter corrected. Four changes, each with its reason.
Q
✓ agreedAgreed. Everything traces. Ready for human review.
Then — and only then — a human takes a light-touch look.

06 — Control

Guardrails all the way down

Fine-grain control over who can talk to Clause, who Clause can talk to, and what data and actions they can access.

Nothing gets sent out of Clause that you don’t approve of.

Who can talk to Clause

Only senders you trust may interact at all — unknown addresses are held at the door.

What each of them can do

Per-sender capabilities: who counts as human-in-the-loop, who can be consulted, who can only be read.

Who Clause can talk to

You control who Clause may address, and what data and actions every conversation can reach.

Approved by you, then sent

Every outbound email and document waits for your sign-off. Always.

07 — Products

Three ways to run it

Same platform under every plan — the mailbox, the agents, the repository, the guardrails. The difference is whose counsel runs the desk, and how you pay.

Counsel included · Flat fee

Full desk

One flat fee. Unlimited contracts.

A full replacement for outside counsel.

  • An experienced commercial counsel on every deal — every contract reviewed by a real person before it reaches you
  • Fully managed org: we run the mailbox, the Brain, and the guardrails for you
  • Send as much as you want — the fee never moves

Best if

You have real contract volume and no commercial counsel — or an outside-counsel bill that grows with every deal.

Counsel included · Pay as you go

Per deal

Pay per contract.

The same counsel, by the deal.

  • The exact same desk — a real commercial counsel reviewing everything
  • Pay only when a deal is moving
  • No retainer, no commitment — it costs nothing between deals

Best if

You want commercial counsel on your deals, but the volume doesn’t justify a retainer — or a hire.

Software · Your counsel

Self-serve

Software subscription.

You run the agent. You are the counsel.

  • The full platform: email ingestion, projects, tickets, and the agentic CLM
  • You architect the Brain and approve everything the agent sends
  • Cheaper — there’s no lawyer on the bill

Best if

You are the counsel (or already have one) and want deal context organized and AI actually inside your workflow.

No counsel, real volume →Full desk

No counsel, occasional deals →Per deal

You are the counsel →Self-serve

Your next contract, handled.

Forward the email. The team takes it from there.
