How can we help?

Three ways to make legal work more efficient.

⚙️

Legal automation

Contract Risk Scan

For one specific contract that needs a quick assessment of commercial and legal risks. The practical entry point.

From €299 excl. VAT · up to 25 pages

Axi Legal helps not only with one-off contract questions, but above all with organising legal work more smartly. Sometimes that starts with a single contract scan. Sometimes with a workflow for recurring questions. Sometimes with ongoing legal support.

For whom

Who is Axi Legal for?

For companies without their own legal team that regularly deal with contracts, privacy questions, HR documents, client arrangements, supplier arrangements, digital services or commercial legal risks.

Not suitable for:

Proceedings and ongoing disputes
Dismissal proceedings, sickness and reintegration files and employment disputes
Notarial services
Tax specialist advice

You can start easily with one Contract Risk Scan. If legal questions turn out to recur, you can switch to Essentials or Business within 14 days. The paid scan price will then be offset against the first month.

Example output

This is what your risk report looks like.

See how Axi Legal presents risks, priorities and alternative clause language. So you know in advance what you get before choosing a scan or package.

This example is based on a SaaS contract. For other contract types you receive the same report structure with risks tailored to your contract.

What do you receive?

Concrete. Actionable. Without jargon.

Every risk report contains a structured overview with direct action items — no stack of legal text.

Risk score per contract

Direct indication of the overall risk level.

Red / amber / green overview

Priorities at a glance: what is urgent, what needs attention, what is fine.

Practical recommendations per risk

What must be changed, what is negotiable.

Alternative clause language

Where relevant: immediately usable text for negotiation.

Executive summary (Business)

Short summary for decision-making or internal sharing.

Clear priorities

Which points are deal-breakers, which are desirable, which are acceptable.

How it works

From contract to a clear risk overview in three steps.

1

You submit the contract

You submit the contract after intake by email or via a secure upload link. PDF or Word. Briefly indicate what matters most to you.

2

We analyse and validate

AI analyses dozens of standard risks, clauses and missing arrangements. Every result is professionally reviewed before you receive it.

3

You receive a clear risk overview

Practical report with risk score, recommendations and where relevant alternative clause language — in your inbox within 24 to 48 hours on business days, depending on your plan.

AI-prepared. Reviewed by an experienced legal professional. AI is used solely as a supporting tool for analysis, structuring and draft text. Client documents may be processed through carefully selected professional tools, but are not used for public AI model training. The final assessment is professionally reviewed before it is shared with you.

More than one review

Need legal support more often?

For scale-ups and companies with a growing contract flow, one review is often not enough. Axi Legal therefore also offers ongoing legal support for recurring legal questions, and legal automation for those who want to streamline processes such as contract intake, NDA generation and risk flagging — always with a human checkpoint.

At Axi Legal, AI accelerates the preparation, but an experienced legal professional with over 20 years in commercial contracts, privacy and finance reviews every analysis before you receive it. You get a human-reviewed risk overview, not an automatic AI summary. Your documents are also not used to train public AI systems.
No. Axi Legal is not a law firm and does not perform work that may only be done by a lawyer or notary, such as mandatory court representation. The services consist of practical legal analysis and contract support, professionally validated by an experienced legal counsel.
In most cases, no. For business clients, the processor terms are included in Annex 1 to our general terms. By placing the order or paying for the Contract Risk Scan, you also accept these processor terms. On request, we can send the processor terms separately.

Yes, with the Business subscription and the one-time scan, alternative or additional clause language is provided where relevant as a starting position for negotiation. This text is a practical tool and not a definitive legal opinion.
That can happen, and we are open to it. Contact us at contact@axilegal.com with your explanation. We are happy to discuss the analysis with you and will adjust our report if new information or context gives reason to do so. The analysis is always based on the documents and context provided — additional information may lead to a different assessment.
