An invitation: Help build the best Contract Review app

All hands on board

In my first month as a lawyer, I was handed an ISDA to review.

I could not make any sense of it.

Google was unhelpful on very specialised technical questions. In-house knowledge was limited, it took walking down the halls of the office and disturbing overworked colleagues, few who knew anything worth sharing.

Partners super-busy, and noone to call.

Sit down with a dictionary, scour the library for titles.

No idea of the business surrounding the contract, no idea of why things are written, and even what is written.

If I were handed the same problem today, things should look very different.

I should have all the intelligence at my command.

Not only that - I should have everything presented to me in a tasteful, visually pleasing and easy to understand manner.

I should just click through and have my answers.

When I sat down to design a contract review interface, I didn't do for myself of today.

I did it for that lost in the woods lawyer who felt hopeless and overwhelmed.

I am now looking for a few volunteers to help get things to monster level.

What is on offer:

- 50 contracts you can review using the interface in 30 days.

- Workshop where we bare it all - how the app is built, how it works and what can be better.

-Contributing to the greatest contract review app ever.
