1.1 Position
Most tech companies do not have a legal problem. They have a documentation problem.
The contracts exist. The privacy policy exists. They were generated three years ago, they describe a product that no longer exists, and they name sub-processors replaced two vendors back.
The gap stays invisible until it is expensive. A security questionnaire in an enterprise sale. A diligence request in a raise. A subject access request nobody can answer. A regulator asking which model processes what, and on what basis.
We close the gap, then keep it closed. Fixed-fee documentation to get current, and an ongoing subscription to stay current as your product and the law both move underneath you.
1.2 Practice areas
Four things, done properly.
We deliberately do not offer everything. Regulated work outside our admitted jurisdictions runs through vetted partner counsel, with TECHLAWG coordinating scope, quality and delivery.
Commercial contracts
SaaS subscription agreements, MSAs, order forms, DPAs, software licensing, reseller terms, and negotiation playbooks your sales team can actually run.
Fixed fee · 5–7 days
AI governance & the EU AI Act
Scope and role classification, risk tiering, system inventory, model and vendor review, transparency design, and a framework your board can read without a glossary.
Fixed fee · 10–14 days
Fractional legal department
A named lawyer on retainer for the questions that arrive weekly: this clause, this vendor, this questionnaire, this launch, this new market.
Monthly retainer · no lock-in
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689
Every company will use AI. Very few will be able to evidence how. The second one is what gets asked for in diligence.Adam Jabbar — Managing Partner
The EU AI Act applies in phases. Prohibitions and AI literacy duties already bite. General-purpose model obligations followed. The high-risk regime is not a policy you write in a week.
Most companies we speak to have not settled the first question that matters, which is whether they are a provider or a deployer. Everything downstream depends on it, and putting your own name on a bought-in system can make you the provider without anyone noticing.
1.3 Alternatives
Three ways to solve this. Two of them are wrong for you.
Not a sales table. If the left column fits your situation, take it and keep the money.
| Policy generator | Traditional firm | TECHLAWG | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Low, subscription | High, and hourly | Fixed fee, agreed upfront |
| Built from your data flows | No. Built from a form | Yes, if you brief them well | Yes. Structured intake maps them first |
| Survives enterprise security review | Rarely | Usually | Built for it. That is the common brief |
| Understands the product | Not applicable | Varies widely | Technology is the only sector we serve |
| Speed | Instant | Weeks, sometimes months | 3 to 10 business days |
| Kept current afterwards | Auto-updated, generically | Only if you pay to ask | Optional subscription with a change log |
| Right for you if | Marketing site, no accounts, no payments | Litigation, licensing, regulated financial services | You process real data and sell to real companies |
1.4 Work
What the work looks like in practice.
Anonymised engagements, described by the problem rather than the document count.
The classification nobody had done
An AI scheduling product assumed it was a deployer because it had trained nothing. It was branding a third-party model as its own, which made it the provider. We reclassified, rebuilt the transparency layer and rewrote the vendor terms.
Losing deals in security review
A B2B analytics vendor was stalling at procurement on every enterprise deal. No DPA, no sub-processor list, no transfer position. We built the full pack and a playbook so sales stopped escalating every redline.
Two-sided from day one
A services marketplace launching across three countries with one set of terms borrowed from a competitor. We rebuilt buyer, seller and platform terms around the actual payment and liability flows.
1.5 Method
How an engagement runs.
The same sequence every time. It is why the fee can be fixed and the date can be promised.
Structured intake
A questionnaire built for your model: what you collect, where it goes, who processes it, which regions, which sub-processors, which AI systems.
Data flow and risk mapping
We map the actual flows and classify obligations against each applicable regime before a word gets drafted.
Bespoke drafting
Drafted against your findings. Our clause library is the method that makes it fast. It is not the thing you receive.
Legal QA
Second-pass review against a documented checklist: cross-references, defined terms, jurisdiction hooks, internal consistency.
Implementation guidance
A plain memo telling your engineers and ops team what to change in the product, not just what to publish on the site.
Ongoing maintenance
Optional. When the law changes or your product does, your documents change with it and you are told what changed and why.

1.7 Questions
Before you ask.
Are you a law firm?
No. TECHLAWG is a legal technology company. Regulated legal advice is delivered by lawyers qualified in the relevant jurisdiction, either in-house or through our partner counsel network, and every engagement letter names who is advising you and under which admission. Compliance programme work, documentation, audits and governance frameworks are delivered by TECHLAWG directly.
How fast is turnaround?
Single documents are typically three to five business days. Full packages are seven to ten business days from completed intake. Expedited delivery is available and quoted upfront. The clock starts when your intake is complete, not when you pay.
How do you price work?
Fixed fees against a defined scope, agreed in writing before anything starts. We do not bill hourly for productised work, and we do not revise a fee mid-engagement unless you change the scope. Send a two-line description of your product and you will have a scope and a number back, usually within one business day.
Do you just use templates?
We maintain a versioned clause library and drafting playbooks. That is what makes fixed pricing and short turnaround possible. What you receive is drafted against your actual data flows, sub-processors, business model and jurisdictions, and two clients in the same sector will not get the same document. The library is the method. It is not the deliverable.
Which jurisdictions do you cover?
Core coverage is US federal and state privacy law, UK GDPR, EU GDPR and the EU AI Act, Swiss FADP and GCC data protection regimes. Where a matter needs locally admitted advice outside that, we bring in partner counsel and coordinate delivery so you keep one point of contact.
What happens after delivery?
You get implementation guidance and a revision window. Most clients then move to the compliance subscription, which keeps documents current as regulation and product both change. It is optional and there is no lock-in.
Tell us what you are launching.
Two lines about your product and where your users are. You will get a defined scope, a fixed fee and a delivery date, usually within one business day.
