Features
Built for Canadian law — not adapted from a US tool.
Automatically flags criminal interest rates (Criminal Code s.347), Ontario non-competes, and Prompt Payment violations before you sign. Python catches statutory issues deterministically — not left to AI.
Personal information detected and redacted before any analysis. Your contract data is encrypted in transit and never stored permanently after your session ends.
Receive a professionally redlined Word document with genuine track changes — not a chatbot summary. A document you can hand directly to the other party or your lawyer.
Every audit scores 15 clause categories — payment terms, IP ownership, liability caps, termination rights, indemnity, non-competes, and more. Risk heatmap included.
The memo includes exact language to use when pushing back on problematic clauses — so you walk into negotiation knowing what to say and the legal ground you stand on.
Every clause compared against Canadian market standards — not generic global benchmarks. Know if a liability cap, payment term, or non-compete is industry-standard or outlier.

Generic global tools miss Canadian-specific statutes. We don't.

Province-specific rules under the CCQ and Bill 96 applied for contracts governed by Quebec law.
Identifies violations of Ontario's Prompt Payment requirements and flags non-compliant payment timelines in construction and service contracts.
Native PI detection — SIN, DOB, health info, financial accounts — redacted before analysis. Matter retention management with auto-purge.

DESKTOP APPLICATION · CLIENT DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR OFFICE · SOLICITOR-CLIENT PRIVILEGE INTACT
AI First-Pass. Your judgment. Your conclusions. Every output reviewed and signed off by qualified counsel. Professional responsibility stays with you.
Every analysis generates a complete audit trail — reviewer signature line, partner review checklist, and matter history exportable for Law Society audits.
Desktop application processes everything locally. Client contract data never leaves your office. No cloud uploads. No third-party servers. No privilege concerns.
Every output includes a structured partner review checklist — so the reviewing partner knows exactly what the AI assessed and what requires their independent judgment.
Output Modes
Select the output that matches your workflow — associate review, client communication, or active negotiation.
Structured analysis formatted for internal partner review. Covers all 15 mandatory clause categories with risk heatmap, enforceability assessment, and benchmark comparison.
Plain-language analysis formatted for client communication — translating legal risk into business impact without jargon. Ready to send after partner review.
Complete negotiation package — true OOXML track changes, full amendments schedule, replacement clauses, and negotiation simulator predicting opposing counsel responses.
Depth Levels
Three levels calibrated to contract value, complexity, and your timeline.
Rapid statutory red-line and mandatory clause check. Catches Criminal Code violations, unenforceable terms, and obvious outlier clauses. Ideal for NDA, short service agreements, and LOIs.
⚡ ~60 secondsFull 15-clause analysis with benchmark comparisons, risk heatmap, enforceability scoring, and recommended positions. Suitable for most commercial agreements and vendor contracts.
⚡ ~3–5 minutesComprehensive review with full redline, replacement clauses from the vetted precedent library, amendments schedule, and negotiation simulator. For high-value transactions and complex agreements.
⚡ ~8–12 minutesThe Engine
A Python rule engine runs before the AI call — catching Criminal Code interest caps, Ontario non-compete bans, Construction Act prompt payment violations, and provincial statutory requirements deterministically. These are not AI judgment calls. They are binary rule checks that are always correct.
The AI then handles what requires contextual judgment — clause interpretation, enforceability assessment, benchmark comparison, and replacement drafting — with the statutory ground truth injected as context the AI cannot contradict.
The result: Statutory compliance is guaranteed. Contextual analysis is enhanced. Neither is left to chance.
Deterministic statutory checks — Criminal Code s.347, ESA Bill 27, CCQ Bill 96, BC PIPA, Construction Act. Binary pass/fail. Always correct. Injected as ground truth before AI analysis.
Clause interpretation, enforceability assessment, benchmark comparison, risk scoring, and replacement language drafting. Calibrated to deal value and counterparty type.
Contract value, industry, counterparty type, and risk tolerance dynamically adjust all thresholds. A $50K deal and a $5M deal get different liability cap floors and benchmark standards.
Every output validated against strict JSON schema with up to 3 correction attempts. Citation validated against detected clause index. No hallucinated references.
Salient Features
Every feature built for professional legal practice — not adapted from a consumer tool.
Pre-approved precedent library by contract type — NDA, service agreement, employment, construction, commercial lease. AI adapts from vetted precedents with deal-specific values, not freeform drafting.
PRECEDENT LIBRARYNo silent truncation. Handles 100+ page M&A agreements, complex multi-schedule commercial contracts, and lengthy construction agreements via overlapping chunk-then-synthesize pipeline.
NO LENGTH LIMITAnalyse the main agreement alongside up to 4 schedules simultaneously. Cross-references definitions, obligations, and inconsistencies across the full suite of transaction documents.

NEGOTIATIONCompare the original agreement against the counterparty's redline — instantly identifying what changed, what was added, and what was deleted across the full document.

All processing happens on your machine. No cloud uploads. No third-party API calls with client data. No privilege concerns. Completely offline after setup.

Early Users
"I was about to sign a vendor contract with a Net-90 payment clause buried in section 4. ContractShield flagged it as a Prompt Payment Act violation immediately and told me exactly what to say in the negotiation. Saved me weeks of chasing invoices."
"We're a two-person startup. We can't afford a lawyer for every vendor contract. At $5 per scan this is now a standard step before we sign anything. The redlined doc is actually usable — not just a chatbot summary."
"As a paralegal I was skeptical. The statute cross-referencing caught an unenforceable non-compete under the ESA amendments that I nearly missed. The fact that statutory checks run in Python before the AI — not after — is the right architecture for legal tools."
"The partner review checklist and audit log make this usable in a professional context. The negotiation simulator correctly predicted three of the four counterproposals opposing counsel came back with. That's not a coincidence."
