Details

How the tools fit a business law matter, the documents involved and the rules they draft around.

Process

One matter, followed through

1

The first call

The Website Intake Assistant talks to a business owner at any hour, collects their name, contact details and what the problem is, and saves them to Matter Management as an Inquiry with a draft follow-up.

2

The contract

The Contract Analyzer flags risky clauses, the notice terms and the renewal date in a supply agreement, lease or services contract.

3

The documents

The Document Drafter writes the NDA, the retainer and the notice letter from your facts. Save a notice deadline and the draft is written a few days ahead.

4

The follow-through

Reply to the counterparty or its counsel with the Email Assistant. Each draft is saved for review and nothing is sent without you.

Documents

The documents a business firm uses

These are real Document Drafter types. Lengths are for the document itself, and about 450 words fill a page.

NDA

A mutual or one-way non-disclosure agreement, with the confidential information, the use limits and the term. Short length runs about 800 to 1,200 words. Every plan.

Retainer Agreement

The engagement for a business matter, with scope, fees and billing. Standard length runs about 1,600 to 2,600 words. Every plan.

Client Letter

Plain-English advice on a contract term, a notice or the next step. Standard length runs about 400 to 700 words. Every plan.

Legal Memo

An internal memorandum on a contract or corporate question, with authority left for you to fill in and verify. Standard length runs about 1,400 to 2,300 words. Every plan.

Settlement Letter

Proposes or confirms terms to resolve a commercial dispute, with an acceptance deadline and release language. Standard length runs about 700 to 1,200 words. Every plan.

Checklist

A working checklist for a formation, a closing or a renewal, such as the items to collect before a deal closes. Standard length runs about 300 to 600 words. Professional and Enterprise.

Rules

Business rules differ by matter and by state

Ramtek's state reference file covers filing periods for contract claims. For business matters the tools answer from Florida's statutes with their sources, and the table lists the rules they draft around.

MatterWhere the rule comes fromWhat the tool does
Forming an LLCFlorida Revised Limited Liability Company Act, Fla. Stat. ch. 605Drafts operating agreement terms from your facts. The state filing is made separately
Breach of a written contractFla. Stat. § 95.11Gives the limitations period with its source. The start date depends on when the breach happened
Confidential informationFlorida Uniform Trade Secrets Act, Fla. Stat. ch. 688Drafts NDA protection. Whether information is a trade secret is a fact question for the attorney

Confirm the current rule before you rely on it. Contracts often set their own notice and renewal dates, which control over the general rule.

Limits

Where judgment begins

It does not review a deal for tax

It does not give tax advice or model the tax effect of a transaction. A tax adviser handles that.

It does not file with the state

Nothing is filed with the Division of Corporations or any agency. Every document is a draft for an attorney to review and file.

It does not value a business

It does not estimate a price, a valuation or the value of an asset. It drafts around the figures you give it.

It does not send or sign

Every NDA, notice and email is a draft for an attorney to review and send.
