Legal documents

Legal documents for startups, drafted and reviewed.

GATE drafts Swedish startup agreements from ten templates or a file you upload, and reviews them from five angles before anyone signs. Your agent fills in the parties and terms, the Defender, Adversary, Inspector, Judge and Gap-Finder read the whole document in 4 to 6 minutes, and you accept or reject every suggested edit. Every save keeps the version before it.

How it works

How do you draft a legal document with GATE?

The paperwork around a startup, handled by your agent and pressure-tested before it goes out.

01

Start from a template or your own

Pick one of ten Swedish templates, from a founders agreement to a term sheet, or upload an agreement you already have as a PDF, Word, text or Markdown file up to 15 MB. It's split into numbered clauses.

02

Your agent fills in the specifics

Tell your agent the parties, the numbers and the terms in plain words, or flag a clause with a note and it reworks that clause the next time you talk. Every save is a new version you can compare with the last.

03

Five reviewers read it

Run the review council and five angles read the whole document at once: the Defender, the Adversary, the Inspector, the Judge and the Gap-Finder. A review takes 4 to 6 minutes and posts its findings in a chat named after the document.

04

You decide every edit

Findings are rated high, medium or low and come back as suggested edits on the clauses they concern. Accept one and it drops into your draft, reject it or defer it. Nothing is saved until you save.

05

Share it or send it to sign

Share a link that opens without a login, export an A4 PDF or Markdown, or hand the current version to GATE Sign, where the signing boxes are placed and it goes out.

What stops a contract changing behind your back?

The document keeps its history, and these rules are enforced by GATE's document tool itself, whoever is editing.

Rules every document keeps

For you, your team and your agent alike.

Every save writes a new version; nothing is overwritten
A locked clause refuses a save until someone unlocks it
An accepted edit lands in your draft, and saving is always your step
Each new review is told what earlier reviews found and what you decided
A review that loses a reviewer says so, and keeps what the others found

Which legal document templates does GATE include?

Ten Swedish templates written for Swedish companies and Swedish company law, plus room for your own.

Founding

Founders, shareholders, articles

A founders agreement, a shareholders agreement and articles of association, the documents most companies start with.

Hiring

Employees and consultants

An employment contract and a consultancy agreement to start from when you bring people in.

Equity and raising

Options, convertibles, term sheet

A staff options programme, a SAFE or convertible loan, and an investment term sheet for when you raise.

Everyday

NDA and IP assignment

A confidentiality agreement and an IP assignment, the two you'll reach for most often.

Your own

Upload what you already have

A PDF, Word, text or Markdown file up to 15 MB becomes numbered clauses in its original wording, ready to version, review and send.

Background

Tell the reviewers the story

Give a document up to 4,000 characters of background, like who the parties are and what was agreed before. Every reviewer reads it first, and it never appears in the document itself.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What legal documents does a startup need?

A Swedish startup usually needs a founders agreement and articles of association to start, a shareholders agreement once there are several owners, employment and consultancy contracts to hire, NDAs and IP assignments along the way, and staff options, a SAFE or convertible loan, or a term sheet when it raises money. GATE has a Swedish template for each of those ten documents.

How do I draft a legal document with AI?

With GATE, the agent starts from one of ten Swedish templates or an agreement the company uploads, fills in the parties, numbers and terms it is given in plain words, and reworks any clause someone flags with a note. Every save becomes a new version that can be compared with the one before, and a locked clause cannot be changed until someone unlocks it.

How does GATE's legal review council work?

In GATE, a person or the agent asks for a review and five angles read the whole document at once. The Defender protects the company, the Adversary reads like the other side's lawyer, the Inspector checks Swedish company law, Bolagsverket rules and basic tax, the Judge asks whether it is fair and enforceable, and the Gap-Finder looks for what is missing, like vesting or drag-along. A review takes 4 to 6 minutes.

What happens to the findings from a GATE review?

GATE rates each finding high, medium or low and turns the findings into suggested edits on the clauses they concern. A person accepts, rejects or defers each one; an accepted edit only lands in the draft, and saving is a separate step. The next review of the same document is told what earlier reviews found and what was decided, and may raise a rejected point again if it still holds.

Is GATE a replacement for a lawyer?

No. GATE gives a Swedish starting point and a hard five-angle review of what was written, which is worth having before a document reaches a lawyer. GATE does not give legal advice, does not say a document is safe to sign, and does not answer for the outcome the way a law firm does. Agreements that matter should still be read by a lawyer.

Which legal document templates does GATE include?

GATE includes ten templates, all Swedish: a founders agreement, a shareholders agreement, articles of association, an employment contract, a consultancy agreement, an NDA, an IP assignment, a staff options programme, a SAFE or convertible loan, and an investment term sheet. They are written for Swedish companies and Swedish company law, and GATE has no templates for other countries' law.

Can I upload an agreement I already have to GATE?

Yes. GATE takes a PDF, Word, text or Markdown file up to 15 MB, extracts its text and splits it into numbered clauses in the original wording, so the agreement can be versioned, reviewed from five angles, shared and sent for signing like a document made from a template. If GATE cannot structure a file, the document shows a retry instead of a stuck draft.

Can a document from GATE be shared and signed?

Yes. GATE makes a public share link that opens without a login, and making a new link switches the old one off. A document exports as an A4 PDF or Markdown. One step hands the current version to GATE Sign as a signing request, where each signer's boxes are placed before it goes out, and everyone gets a sealed PDF with a certificate once the last person signs.

How do I start with legal documents in GATE?

GATE is invite only while GATE Intelligence onboards a small number of businesses at a time. After the invite, the company tells its agent which agreement it needs and with whom, or uploads one it already has, and adds a short background for the reviewers when the history matters. The agent prepares the draft, runs the review when asked and sends it for signing on the company's word.
