GitLaw's specialist legal agents: UK and US coverage explained
GitLaw's specialist legal agents are brought in automatically: describe what you need in plain language, and when your document type and jurisdiction match an available specialist, GitLaw uses that specialist's focused knowledge; otherwise the general Agent handles it. There is nothing to switch on and no specialist to pick. Set your jurisdiction for the best results.
Before you start: a GitLaw account, with your jurisdiction set.
What is the difference between the general Agent and a specialist?
Alongside the general GitLaw Agent, GitLaw offers specialist legal agents, each tuned to a specific area of law and jurisdiction. Specialists draw on deeper, focused knowledge of the statutes and document types in their field, so you get sharper first drafts and more thorough reviews for that kind of work.
| General GitLaw Agent | Specialist agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Any contract or legal question, broad coverage | A specific document type in a specific jurisdiction |
| Knowledge | Broad, general legal drafting and review | Focused on one area's statutes and document types |
| How it's chosen | Used by default | GitLaw brings one in automatically when it fits your document and jurisdiction |
You do not have to choose, or even think about, specialists. GitLaw automatically calls in the right specialist when one is available and useful for what you are working on, and falls back to the general Agent the rest of the time.

How do specialists get used?
You do not pick or start a specialist yourself; it happens automatically. Just describe what you need to GitLaw in plain language, exactly as you normally would. When your document type and jurisdiction match an available specialist, GitLaw brings that specialist's focused knowledge to bear; otherwise the general Agent handles it. Either way it is the same chat, with nothing extra to set up.
Always set your jurisdiction for the best results. See Set your jurisdiction.
