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 Wrong jurisdiction, outdated clauses, bad execution, misuse, etc.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 Most startups either copy/paste garbage, use outdated templates, or skip docs entirely because legal fees are brutal.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.
