Legal

What Legal is in ThorStack

The Legal module is the system of record for every contract your business signs, drafts, or owes work against. It bundles a smart document repository, AI contract review, attorney-crafted templates, full WYSIWYG drafting, DocuSign e-signature, automated obligation tracking, and external counsel collaboration, under a single per-tenant audit log.

The objects

Smart document repository

Every contract, drafted in ThorStack or uploaded, lands in the repository, categorised and instantly searchable.

• AI-powered search across every file, with verified answers and inline citations to the exact source clause.
• OCR for scanned PDFs in 50+ languages, your filing-cabinet legacy archive becomes searchable in one upload.
• Append-only audit log of every read, edit, share, and delete, enforced by Postgres triggers, not by application code.
• Per-tenant isolation, your repository is never co-mingled with another customer's.

AI contract review

Paste or upload a contract; ThorStack extracts clauses, scores risk, flags missing standard terms, and proposes redlines.

• Plain-English summary for execs alongside deep clause analysis for counsel.
• Per-clause risk scoring with reasoning.
• Suggested language with one-click insert into the editor or Word.
• Compatible with your playbooks, point Verdict at your standard NDA terms and it scores incoming drafts against them.
• A Microsoft Word add-in runs the same review inside Word for counsel who live in the desktop app.

Draft, edit, and collaborate

Start from a template or a blank page; edit in the same WYSIWYG editor your team uses for notes; invite outside counsel with one click.

• Full rich-text editor, headings, lists, tables, footnotes, signature blocks.
• Optimistic version control, no silent overwrites; conflicting saves are flagged.
• Tokenised share URLs, view, comment, or edit roles per share, with per-share expiry (7 / 30 / 90 days or none).
• Optional PII redaction on shared views, externals see the body without sensitive personal data.
• One-click email to a CRM contact directly from the contract.

One-click AI formatting

Upload a poorly-formatted contract and ThorStack restructures it, proper headings, paragraph breaks, definition bolding, without changing a single word.

• Adds H1/H2/H3 hierarchy and clean paragraph breaks.
• Bolds defined terms inside quoted sections.
• Server-side word-count guard refuses any output that drifts more than ±5%.
• Long documents are chunked under the hood with safe fallbacks, no truncated reformats.

Automated obligation tracking

The moment a contract lands in the repository, AI extracts every deadline, renewal, payment milestone, audit, and notice window.

• Idempotent LLM extraction anchored to the effective date, so re-running doesn't duplicate obligations.
• Daily worker scans the obligation set and fires reminders at 30, 7, and 1 days out (tunable per tenant).
• In-app + email reminders with per-user delivery preferences.
• Per-contract opt-out and per-user delivery hour (UTC) for the email digest.
• Overdue obligations are auto-flagged with weekly nudges until acknowledged or resolved.

Integrated e-signature

Send any contract for signature in one click and track every envelope in real time, powered by DocuSign.

• Per-user DocuSign OAuth, no shared service account.
• Sandbox ↔ production toggle via one env var, so staging tenants stay out of the real signing flow.
• HMAC-verified Connect webhooks for live status, signed, declined, voided, completed.
• Multi-party signing workflows with per-recipient routing order and reminders.
• 50+ free envelopes per member per month, covered by your ThorStack plan.

Attorney-crafted templates

Skip the blank page. Eight starter templates drafted by AmLaw-grade corporate counsel ship with the module:

• NDA · MSA · SOW · Consulting Agreement · Employment Offer Letter · DPA (GDPR Art. 28) · Mutual Termination · Statement of Work.

Each template uses curated dropdowns (payment terms, vesting cadence, etc.) and lets you save form entries as reusable presets. Build your own templates body-first; ThorStack auto-detects fields and turns them into a fillable form.

Verdict: Your Chief Legal Officer agent

An always-on legal agent in the dashboard, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, and email, same tools, same audit log, same approval gates across every channel.

• Daily portfolio review at 09:45 (configurable).
• Weekly risk briefing every Tuesday morning.
• 16+ legal tools wired in, list contracts, ask the repository, run AI review, draft templates, send for signature.
• Write operations route through the human-approval gateway.
• Every action is audit-logged tied back to the originating user.

External counsel collaboration

Invite outside lawyers or solicitors with editor, commenter, or viewer roles. They open a tokenised URL with no login required, make changes in the same editor your team uses, and every save is audit-logged with the email you sent the invite to.

Why a legal module belongs in the operating system

Most teams keep contracts in a folder somewhere, signatures in DocuSign, obligations in someone's head, and counsel in a CC. The blast radius when one of those drifts is real money or real lawsuits. The Legal module collapses the lifecycle, draft, review, sign, store, track, into one repository with one audit trail.
