Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What jurisdictions does GitLaw support?
GitLaw doesn't limit you to a fixed list of jurisdictions. Instead, you tell it which jurisdiction applies and the Agent drafts, reviews, and adapts clauses accordingly. Common examples include England & Wales, California, Singapore, and USA - but you can specify any jurisdiction that's relevant to your work.
How to set your jurisdiction
There are three ways to control it:
- Profile default - Go to Settings → Jurisdiction to set a default that applies to every new chat and document.
- Per chat - Override your profile setting for a specific chat using the globe icon. Useful when you're switching between matters in different countries.
- In your prompt - Just name it: "Draft a mutual NDA governed by English law." The Agent picks it up and adjusts automatically, even if your profile is set elsewhere.
For step-by-step instructions, see Set your jurisdiction.
Finding jurisdiction-specific templates
The public template library lets you filter by jurisdiction, so you can browse NDAs, service agreements, and other templates tagged to a specific country or region. Selecting a country (e.g., US) returns templates for that country plus all its regions (e.g., California, Delaware). You can also filter by multiple jurisdictions at once.
To start from a template, see Create a draft document using the Agent.
What if my jurisdiction isn't listed?
If your jurisdiction doesn't appear as a pre-set option, type it directly into your prompt. The Agent will do its best to apply the relevant legal context. For highly specialised or less common jurisdictions, always review the output carefully with a qualified local lawyer.
