Legislate Technologies Limited
Legislate Technologies Limited (founded April 2020) is a legal technology company founded in Oxford which makes it easy for non-lawyers to safely create, manage and search lawyer-approved contracts on no legal budget.[1] Legislate's contract management software is built on patented knowledge graph technology which makes contract data usable and searchable at scale.
Backstory
Legislate Technologies Limited was founded by Charles Brecque in April 2020 in Oxford, England, United Kingdom. He started his career at Mind Foundry, a spin-out from the University of Oxford, and had brought Machine Learning solutions to market for three years. He then started Legislate to streamline contracting by making contracts machine readable.[2]
Overview
Legislate Technologies is addressing the problem of, what should be rather simple legal documents, such as NDAs or tenancy agreements. The type of agreements and low-frequency needs would be cost prohibitive to justify legal council, but still, documents that can be held up in a court of law, should things go south between parties.[3] Their AI-based knowledge graph streamlines the entire process of contract creation and aggregates data to unlock insights. The outcome is a fully fleshed out, fair agreement that aims to save both sides time and money, and one that can be enforced.

- Select the type of agreement you want to create: Choose from a selection of common business contracts ranging from tenancy to employment agreements.
- Set your terms: Decide on the scope of the contract.
- Add parties to your side: One can create contracts for themself or colleagues. One can also add a witness, legal counsel, or supporting signatories if required.
- Invite parties from the other side.: All you need is their email address. The parties are then saved in your private address book for your next contract.
- Agree on the terms and sign!: Negotiate until you are happy with the terms and sign via Legislate.
