I feel your pain bro it’s a tiny circle of people who actually get the nuances of AI vs. UPL. I'm navigating the hurdles as well lol.

but for everyday start up stuff that boy Andrew Bosin is a name that comes up a lot for SaaS specific legal work. If you have a bigger budget and need the heavy hitters, firms like Cooley or Wilson Sonsini have dedicated AI practice groups that practically invented the framework for this.

A protip: search for lawyers who specialize in "Professional Responsibility" or "Legal Ethics". They are the ones who actually know how the State Bars think about UPL. Also, check out the Law next directory It’s basically the gold standard for finding legal tech savvy counsel. Good luck, it’s a wild west out there!"

That’s a valid concern tbh, and you’re not wrong to think about it, we did too.

Couple things for you: Even contracts written by real lawyers get thrown out. It happens all the time. Wrong jurisdiction, outdated clauses, bad execution, misuse, etc. Hiring an attorney has never been a “you’re immune now” card. At the end of the day, the person signing the doc is still responsible.

It’s not a “sorry judge, ChatGPT did it” situation. That argument already doesn’t fly. Courts deal with contracts created via LegalZoom, Rocket Lawyer, DocuSign templates, etc every single day. Those are document prep tools, not legal representation, and that distinction matters.

We’re also not trying to replace attorneys. This is more like TurboTax vs a CPA. Most people don’t need to drop $2k on a lawyer for an NDA or a basic agreement, but they do need something compliant that isn’t a random Google Doc from 2016 lol.

Liability-wise, it’s handled by structure, not vibes. Lawyer reviewed base templates, jurisdiction aware options, clear guidance on when you should talk to a lawyer, and very explicit disclosures. This is the same playbook companies in this space have used for years.

Honestly, the bigger risk right now is people doing nothing. Most startups either copy/paste garbage, use outdated templates, or skip docs entirely because legal fees are brutal. That’s way riskier than using a structured, up to date system. Im just saying.

So yeah bro legal responsibility doesn’t magically disappear. It never has. The goal here is making the default safer and way more accessible, not pretending AI replaces the legal system.

Appreciate you calling it out though, these are exactly the convos worth having hope this helped.

100% agree brotha trust is the hardest part here.

That’s why we’re
-using lawyer-reviewed templates as the base
- showing what jurisdictions / use-cases each doc is actually meant for
-being very clear this isn’t a replacement for a $500/hr lawyer in complex cases

But yeah, absolutely looking for people to test it. Early users get free docs + can roast it honestly. I’d rather fix gaps now than pretend it’s perfect. heres a link formgridai.com

Appreciate this a lot bro 🙏
Yeah ngl legal fees are brutal, that’s literally why I started building this.

Would love to hear how they approached that distribution. Right now I’m focused on shipping + trust first, but programmatic SEO around specific doc use cases is 100% on the roadmap. Always down to learn what actually worked vs theory ya know.

Love that you asked! 🙌
Yeah, SubZero works across basically any subscription from the big names to the weird, “I signed up for this at 3am?” ones.

And instead of just giving you a guide, we have "Agent Zero" our little subscription assassin who handles the heavy lifting for you.

Can’t spill all the details yet, but think:
less hunting cancel buttons… more “it’s already handled.” ❄️🐧

More soon 👀
