Welcome to Legalo: Your Startup’s Legal Toolkit

Welcome to Legalo.co.uk, the go-to UK resource for solicitor-drafted legal document templates and expert legal guidance. All templates are carefully crafted by David and Stephen for small businesses and ambitious founders.

Our mission is to empower you to manage your own legal requirements with confidence, removing the need to engage slow to act, expensive law firms.

We provide a comprehensive range of business contract templates and DIY personal legal document templates. You can complete them instantly from your desk (or even your mobile!).

Every document in our library has been lovingly drafted by one of the Legalo founders, David Cammack and Stephen Avila. Both are practising solicitors, each with over 25 years of experience in commercial and private law.

When you choose a Legalo legal contract template, you are receiving the same professional standard as a bespoke draft, but without the painful price or the waiting times.

Professional Legal Document Templates and Guidance

We specialise in high quality startup legal documents and founder-focused templates, together with the step-by-step guidance required to execute them accurately. Whether you are protecting your equity with an IP assignment template, securing your premises with a commercial licence to occupy, or drafting a complex commercial agreement, you will find a robust, “bulletproof” solution here.

We provide a no quibbles money back satisfaction guarantee. If, for any reason, you’re not happy with the document template that you purchase, you get your money back in full.

All of our legal document templates are available for purchase on a one-off basis. No hidden subscriptions, just the legal protection you need, when you need it.

Our goal is to make quality legal documents affordable and accessible. Online, there is a sea of options, and we strive to stand out by offering quality, peace of mind and value. Legalo remains committed to helping you make significant savings on legal fees.

Peace of Mind with Solicitor-Drafted DIY Legal Forms & Templates

Our online legal document templates come with integrated “know-how” guides written by either David or Stephen. These explain the relevant law in plain English and guide you through completing the templates. We want to provide our customers with total peace of mind.

While our DIY format takes the stress out of your company’s legal documents, we also offer a “Solicitor Legal Advice” referral service, working with the startup specialist law firm Forward Law for those who require bespoke legal advice.

Before you download, remember that legal contract templates must be specific to the jurisdiction. Our documents are meticulously drafted according to the laws of England and Wales. So you can create binding contracts capable of being upheld the courts of England and Wales.

Should you use AI-drafted legal documents?

We have tested Chat-GPT (and other AI drafting tools) and found them to be unreliable. It is known that AI “hallucinates” and makes up facts that do not exist. However, it also makes other errors. For example, when Chat-GPT was asked by us to draft a template for a Pre-Nuptial Agreement, it left out 2 entire key components:

1. a schedule where both parties must list all their assets; and
2. the clauses about what happens to the children on divorce.

Both are very important issues for a Pre-Nuptial Agreement. Without them, the court might later overturn the validity of the agreement, no doubt after the parties have incurred significant legal expense and much wasted time.

Now, as experienced lawyers, we were able to spot those 2 missing key clauses and ask the AI to add them in, which it then did. We were able to correct the AI’s errors and avoid a future problem. However, you the customer, as a non-lawyer, might fail to spot what is missing, so would be unable to ask the AI to add in those missing clauses.

Really for AI to be reliable as a drafting tool, there should be no risk of missing clauses. We are not certain AI is that advanced yet. You would also have no come-back for the error: no protection. It would be your responsibility entirely to ensure the document you had drafted by using the AI tool was suitable and legally correct.

So for peace of mind, we strongly recommend that you use a good provider of legal templates that have been drafted and checked by competent experienced UK lawyers, such as is our strict practice at Legalo. With Legalo’s great templates, you can avoid the AI missing any key clauses out.

We confirm that none of Legalo’s templates are AI-drafted, for your peace of mind.
