Important Notice
Please read this disclaimer carefully before using ExaLaw’s services. By using our platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this disclaimer.
Not Legal Advice
ExaLaw provides legal documents, information, and tools—not legal advice.
Our services, including document templates, AI-powered tools, guides, and other content, are designed to provide general information and assist with common legal tasks. They are not a substitute for professional legal advice tailored to your specific circumstances.
What This Means
Templates are general in nature: Our document templates are designed to cover common situations but may not address every specific requirement of your situation.
Information may not apply to you: Legal information on our platform is general in nature. Laws vary by jurisdiction and circumstance.
AI has limitations: Our AI tools provide helpful starting points but may not be complete, current, or accurate for your specific situation.
We are not your lawyer: Using ExaLaw does not create a lawyer-client relationship with ExaLaw or any lawyer in our network (unless you formally engage one).
When to Seek Professional Advice
We strongly recommend consulting a qualified legal professional for:
- Complex matters: Transactions involving significant assets or complicated structures
- High-stakes situations: Where the consequences of getting it wrong are significant
- Disputes and litigation: Any matter involving actual or potential legal proceedings
- Regulated industries: Compliance in heavily regulated sectors (financial services, healthcare, etc.)
- Cross-border matters: Transactions or issues involving multiple jurisdictions
- Uncertain situations: When you’re unsure whether a template or approach is appropriate
- Customisation needs: When you need significant modifications to standard templates
Document Templates
