PRODUCT
The whole associate, in one run.
Give it a matter, a document and a question. What comes back is a memo with a summary, action items to confirm, authorities with verdicts and a Word download, not a chat transcript.
Contract Agent Completed
Senior Associate Employment Contract: English Law Review
Calder & Finch LLP · Employment · CF-2026-0184
Summary
Overall risk is HIGH. The UK/Ireland/EU non-compete is likely unenforceable, while the holiday carry-over cap and blanket data/monitoring consent require replacement; the remaining covenants, working-time opt-out and bonus clause should be narrowed and clarified.
- 1. Clause 9(c), non-compete: High: the 12-month prohibition on working for any law firm anywhere in the UK, Ireland or EU is wider than reasonably necessary.§ Tillman v Egon Zehnder Ltd [2019] UKSC 32
- 2. Clause 11, data and monitoring: High: blanket contractual consent is not an adequate basis for general employment processing or unrestricted monitoring.§ UK GDPR

Open the matter, add the documents
A matter carries a client, a reference, a responsible partner, a practice area and a jurisdiction. Opening it runs a conflict check automatically. Add the contract, the board minutes, the lease, whatever the matter needs, and every chat and run attaches to the right client from the first message.

Ask, or run a named agent
Type a question with the matter chip on, or run Contract, Due Diligence, Employment or one of the other named agents. Before it starts, choose who the deliverable is for: an Executive Brief for the board, a Work-Stream Memo for the team, a Client Update in plain English, Court-Ready OSCOLA, or a Regulator Response.

The 'Prepare for' picker: choose the audience, then the deliverable format.
Check the authorities, then share it
Every authority the run relies on carries a verdict: verified, needs a check, or not found. Read the ledger, tick the action items you accept, download the Word file, or send a passcode link to the client with every view logged on the matter.

- 02
Add the documents
PDF, scanned image, Word or plain text: whatever the matter needs.
- 03
Run an agent, or ask
Pick a named agent, or ask in chat and let it route. Choose who the answer is for.
- 04
Check, then sign off
Read the verdicts, tick the action items, download the Word file or share a link.
What it does not do
- It does not read Westlaw, Practical Law, Lexis, Bloomberg Law, Justis or vLex. Those domains are refused by design.
- It covers England and Wales, with EU, Irish and ECHR primary law in the verified source list: not US, Canadian or Australian law.
- A deliverable is drafting assistance. A supervising solicitor still signs it off.
- It does not connect to a DMS today. iManage, NetDocuments and SharePoint are catalogue tiles, not live integrations.
RoadmapSharePoint and OneDrive connectors first, then iManage and NetDocuments.
