Legal AI that holds itself to the standards of the profession.
Overview
Select a playbook and your drafting positions, standard language, fallbacks and red lines come with you into the work. Laine drafts to them, reads documents against them, and measures every proposed change by them.
A playbook is the key to consistency across the whole work. The position you settled on last quarter is there in front of you, and anyone working on their first deal of this type applies the same positions as the person who wrote them.
Three ways to get one
Bring your own, build one, or start from a Laine playbook
01
Use your own
Bring the playbook you already work to. It is read in as it stands, with its own clause structure and wording kept intact.
02
Build one on the platform
Start from scratch, or from documents you have already signed, and let Laine draw the positions out of them.
03
Start from a Laine playbook
Ready made playbooks come with the platform, among them an investment fund playbook and a land purchase agreement playbook.
Building one starts with a single question: what type of contract or transaction should this playbook cover. From there Laine works as an autopilot, asking about the relevant clauses one by one until the positions are set out in full. Once it is finished you can share it with colleagues in Laine, so the whole team works to the same playbook.
Where a playbook applies
Drafting, review, editing and chat
A playbook can be applied in every interaction with chat, whether the work at hand is drafting, review or editing. Select it once and the positions travel with the document.
In drafting, new language is written to the standard positions. In review, the document is read against them clause by clause. In editing, a change is measured against the playbook before it is proposed.
In review
Reviewing a document against a playbook produces a clause by clause reading. Each clause is set beside the position it was meant to meet, and anything that departs from it is called out with the departure named.
Meets the position
The clause matches the standard language, or sits close enough to it that nothing needs saying.
Off the preferred position
The clause departs from your first choice but stays inside an acceptable fallback, with the fallback shown.
Over a red line
The clause contains something the playbook rules out. Flagged plainly, with the red line it crosses quoted back.
A flag is a reading, not a decision. The clause changes only when you ask for the change.
