The fee is fixed before the work
Scope, revisions and delivery date are agreed in writing first. No hourly billing on productised work, and no fee revised mid-engagement unless you change the scope.
About
A technology practice that happens to be legal.
TECHLAWG exists because the two available options were both wrong. Generators produce documents that describe no particular company. General practice firms bill by the hour to learn what a sub-processor is. Neither is built for a company shipping software.
6.1 Founder
Adam Jabbar
Managing Partner
An Advocate of the High Courts of Pakistan, holding an LLB from the University of London and a BBA from Heriot-Watt University. Partner at Mufti Law Associates in Islamabad, and a member of the IHCBA Climate Change Committee.
Over 2,300 completed engagements for technology businesses across more than 40 countries, concentrated in privacy documentation, commercial contracts and, increasingly, AI governance. Top-rated status on the two largest professional services marketplaces, and a 5.0 rating on Clutch.
Author of the AI for Lawyers series, including an Amazon category bestseller, and of a published guide to EU AI Act compliance for startups, technology companies and legal professionals. Writes on technology and regulation for national publications, and teaches the material through AI for Lawyers Academy.
The practical consequence for a client is narrow and useful: the person drafting your documentation reads the Regulation, has drafted against it repeatedly, and does not need the underlying technology explained first.
6.2 Principles
Six things we hold to.
Not values on a wall. These are the decisions we have already made, so that no engagement has to renegotiate them.
We tell you when you need less
If a generated policy genuinely covers your situation, we say so and you keep the money. Selling work nobody needed is the fastest way to lose the work they will need later.
Documents follow data flows
Drafting starts after mapping, never before. A privacy policy that was not written from the actual flows is a description of a company that does not exist.
We say who is advising you
Every engagement letter names the individual and the admission. Where a matter needs locally qualified advice, we bring in partner counsel and tell you plainly that we have.
One sector, deliberately
Technology companies only. The narrowness is the point: it is why the intake questions are the right ones and why the turnaround is short.
Delivered, then maintained
A document is accurate on the day it ships and decays from there. Maintenance is offered as a subscription because that is how the risk actually behaves.
6.3 Method
A clause library is not a shortcut around thinking. It is what lets the thinking start at the hard part.How we deliver
Every engagement leaves behind reusable structure: an intake pattern, a checklist, a versioned clause set. That accumulated estate is why a package that would take a general practice firm three weeks takes us seven business days.
What it does not do is produce identical documents. The library holds positions and alternatives, not a finished text. Which position applies is decided against your data flows, your jurisdictions, your sub-processors and your commercial risk appetite. Two marketplaces in the same country get different terms, because they move money differently.
This is the honest version of what other firms call bespoke drafting and what generators call automation. It is neither. It is a system that makes bespoke output affordable.
6.4 Structure
How we are set up, and why it matters to you.
A legal technology company, not a law firm
Compliance programme work, documentation, audits, governance frameworks and implementation guidance are delivered by TECHLAWG directly. That is the majority of what we do.
Regulated advice sits with admitted lawyers
Where an engagement requires legal advice in a specific jurisdiction, it is delivered by a lawyer admitted there, whether in-house or through our partner counsel network. The engagement letter identifies who and under which admission. We do not hold ourselves out as admitted anywhere the relevant individual is not.
Partner counsel across four regions
Vetted counsel across the US, UK, EU and GCC. You keep one point of contact, one scope and one fee. We coordinate the rest.
What we decline
Litigation. Regulated financial services licensing. Anything where the honest answer is that a specialist local firm will serve you better. Saying so costs us a matter and keeps the relationship.
6.5 Publishing
We publish because the field moves.
Books, courses and written guides on AI and law. It is also the fairest way to be judged before you hire anyone.
The AI for Lawyers series
Practical guides to using AI tools in legal practice, including an Amazon category bestseller. Written for practitioners rather than for technologists.
EU AI Act compliance
A published guide covering scope, roles, risk tiers and obligations for startups, technology companies and legal professionals working to the phased deadlines.
AI for Lawyers Academy
Courses taking practitioners through AI governance and the regulatory landscape, drawn from the same material we work with on engagements.
Start with two lines.
What you are building and where your users are. You will have a scope, a fixed fee and a delivery date, usually within one business day.
