Lawyer review

Exactly what lawyers review, and what they do not

Not every output is reviewed by a lawyer. Each step Legal AI Counsel (FinePrint Counsel) takes follows one of three review paths. Your record shows which path each step took and what the lawyer decided.

Each step follows one of three paths

The path depends on what the step needs: an approved process, a lawyer's answer, or a lawyer leading the whole matter.

Green. Routine work follows a process lawyers approved

Work your company does often runs on a process lawyers approved, within the approval rules your company set. A lawyer does not read each document. Lawyers sample-check the work in AnswerLoop and correct what they find.

Yellow. Additional legal judgment waits for a lawyer

When a step needs additional legal judgment, such as reading an agreement a new hire signed with a former employer, the work stops there. You approve the question. A lawyer answers it in AnswerLoop. The steps that depend on the answer wait for it.

Red. A specialist lawyer takes the lead

Some work needs a lawyer in charge from the start, such as a lawsuit or a regulator's investigation. Your teammates prepare the file: the documents, the facts and the open questions. The lawyer who takes it starts from the whole record.

Your record shows each check and answer

Each task lists its checks and their results: what cleared, what was added to the plan, and what stopped for a lawyer.

The checks

When a founder asked to hire a senior engineer in Colorado, six checks ran before anything was drafted. The option pool and the stock valuation cleared. A board consent, the Colorado registrations and a required notice were added to the plan. The candidate's agreement with her previous employer stopped for a lawyer.

The checks on a hiring matter in FinePrint: option pool and 409A valuation clear; board authority, employment footprint and offer terms added to the plan; the candidate's disclosed covenant marked for a lawyer to confirm.

The lawyer's answer

When a lawyer answers, the record shows who reviewed it, the question, the answer, the reason, and what changed as a result. Here the lawyer agreed the old agreement did not cover the new role, and one guardrail was added to her onboarding paperwork.

The lawyer review on the same matter: the request, the scope the company approved, the status from counsel to answered, the answer Agree, the governing reason, and the effect on the offer paperwork.

Lawyers' corrections improve FinePrint LM

Lawyers' reviews and corrections in AnswerLoop are how FinePrint LM, the model your Legal AI Team runs on, improves. That is what we mean by “trained by lawyers.”

What FineShield guidance is, and is not

FineShield, the Legal AI Firewall, works like legal autocorrect. It checks messages and meetings against your company's own contracts, policies and approval limits. It flags, cites, guides, and routes. Approvers and your lawyers decide.

A live prompt does not mean a lawyer has reviewed that response during the meeting.

Signing, sending, filing and paying stay with your company, and each waits for the approval of the person you named.
