Meet the legal standards committee raising the bar

Together we're establishing a new open standard for legal AI, improving access to justice at scale, for every business.

Portraits of the legal standards committee members

An independent body of practicing lawyers

GitLaw is built on a foundation of specialist legal knowledge, developed with an independent legal standards committee: a group of practicing lawyers working to establish a new open standard for how AI should operate in legal contexts.

Every template, every review, every suggested edit is grounded in that foundation. The committee works independently, and GitLaw is held to the standards it sets.

Open legal standards, available to everyone

1

The committee's work produces something that benefits every GitLaw user: open, plain-language legal templates and standards that any business can access and use.

2

Every NDA, employment agreement, and commercial contract the committee approves is structured, versioned, and built to reflect current legal practice.

3

That means when GitLaw generates a contract for your deal, it isn't starting from a guess. It's drawing on a library of reviewed, structured standards built by people who understand legal work.

What this means for your contracts

When you draft a contract

GitLaw draws on lawyer-reviewed templates and playbooks built to committee standards. You get a starting point that reflects how agreements are commonly structured in practice, not a generic output.

Verified by lawyers

When you review a contract

GitLaw flags unusual clauses and explains what each term means in simple terms, using the committee's standards as a reference point for what commonly appears in agreements like yours.

Legal that works
for every business

The committee's work goes beyond GitLaw's platform. The standards and templates they produce are open and free for everyone.

The goal is access to legal clarity at scale. Not one contract at a time, but an open legal layer available to any business.

“GitLaw is building an AI Legal Companion that's actually grounded in law.”
