How our documents are verified by lawyers

Are Robot Lawyer documents checked by lawyers? Yes. Robot Lawyer documents are drafted by our bespoke AI, built specifically for legal documents and extremely accurate. Every document is drafted for your own country’s laws, wherever you are. For extra peace of mind, on our Premium plan every finished document is also checked by qualified solicitors (lawyers) in England and Wales with over 20 years’ experience. They review it thoroughly, make amendments where needed, and return it Solicitor-Verified within 24 hours. On every plan, our AI works from questionnaires and drafting instructions that our lawyers write, review and update as the law changes.

Our bespoke legal AI

Our AI is purpose-built for legal drafting:

  • Guided by lawyers. It drafts from lawyer-written questionnaires and lawyer-written drafting instructions for each document type, so it works from the right questions and structure for that document.
  • Tailored to you. It uses your answers to produce a document for your situation and your jurisdiction, not a generic template.
  • Constantly upgraded. We keep improving it as AI models improve, as our lawyers refine the drafting instructions, and as they track changes in the law.

The result is a highly accurate document, produced in minutes.

Lawyers at every stage

Lawyers are involved in Robot Lawyer at two levels.

1. Lawyer-maintained documents (all plans)

Our lawyers constantly review and update every document’s questionnaire and the instructions our AI follows when it drafts. They also track changes in the law, such as the Renters’ Rights Act in England, and update the affected documents. Whichever plan you are on, your document is built on lawyer-maintained foundations.

2. A lawyer check of your finished document (Premium only)

On the Premium plan, a solicitor also reads the specific document generated for you. They check it thoroughly, make amendments where needed, and return it with our Solicitor-Verified badge within 24 hours.

Why we add a lawyer check

Our AI is highly accurate. But legal documents matter: they set out your rights, your money and your obligations. A qualified solicitor reading your specific document gives you peace of mind that it fits your circumstances and reads exactly as you intend before you sign or send it.

This is also where Robot Lawyer differs from general-purpose AI tools. Those tools can “hallucinate”, producing text that sounds plausible but is inaccurate or written for the wrong country. Our AI is built for legal drafting and guided by lawyers, and on Premium a lawyer checks the result too.

How the verification process works

  1. You answer the questionnaire. Our lawyers write and maintain the questions, so you are asked for the details your document needs.
  2. Our AI drafts your document. It follows drafting instructions written and kept up to date by our lawyers, for your jurisdiction.
  3. A solicitor reviews it (Premium). A qualified solicitor checks the finished document thoroughly against your answers and the relevant law.
  4. Amendments are made where needed. If anything should be adjusted, added or clarified, the solicitor amends the document.
  5. You receive your Solicitor-Verified document. It is returned to you within 24 hours, ready to use.

What our lawyers check

When a Premium document is reviewed, the solicitor looks at:

  • whether the document suits your situation and your answers
  • legal accuracy, including recent changes in the law
  • whether any clause should be added, removed or adjusted
  • consistency of names, dates, amounts and defined terms
  • clarity of wording, formatting and good drafting practice

Using Robot Lawyer outside England and Wales

Every document is drafted for your own jurisdiction, using your answers, and built from lawyer-maintained questionnaires and drafting instructions. On Premium, our solicitors check it for good practice, formatting and the law within 24 hours.

Our solicitors are qualified in England and Wales, and documents for England and Wales are checked against the law of England and Wales. For documents governed by the law of another country, including Scotland and Northern Ireland, we also recommend a check by a local lawyer.

What “Solicitor-Verified” means

The Solicitor-Verified badge means a qualified solicitor has reviewed that specific document and made any amendments needed. It applies to documents checked under the Premium plan.
