Question 1

What is EqualDocs?

Accepted Answer

EqualDocs is an AI-native law firm. Licensed lawyers — EqualDocs Avocats inc. in Quebec, with co-counsel across Canada — deliver your legal services, supported by a platform that automates intake, drafting, review, e-signature, and matter management so we can serve you faster and more affordably.

Question 2

Why choose EqualDocs?

Accepted Answer

Because you get a real law firm and modern technology in one place. Licensed lawyers are responsible for your file — EqualDocs Avocats inc. in Quebec, with co-counsel across Canada — while our AI-native platform handles intake, drafting, review, e-signature, and matter management, so you're served faster and more affordably. Transparent and lawyer-supervised — built around what you actually need.

Question 3

Is EqualDocs a law firm?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EqualDocs Avocats inc. is a law firm authorized to practice in Quebec; every matter is handled under the supervision of a licensed Quebec lawyer. For matters outside Quebec, we work with licensed lawyers in other provinces, so we can support clients across Canada. What makes us AI-native is how we deliver legal services: the platform automates intake, drafting, and document workflows so we serve more clients faster and more affordably — but the AI doesn't practice law; it supports our lawyers, who remain responsible for your file and advice.

Question 4

Can AI draft an NDA for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EqualDocs can draft NDAs, employment contracts, service agreements, and other common business contracts using AI. Describe what you need in plain language, and the AI generates a complete, professionally formatted document with appropriate legal clauses.

Question 5

How does AI contract review work?

Accepted Answer

Upload your contract (PDF or DOCX) and EqualDocs AI instantly analyzes every clause for risks, missing provisions, and compliance issues. You receive a detailed risk report with severity ratings, legal citations, and suggested improvements — typically in under 30 seconds.

Question 6

Is EqualDocs free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can start for free. The Starter plan includes a monthly allowance of Equal Credits (EC), no credit card required — enough to ask questions and try AI features like drafting and review. Earn more EC (e.g. by completing your profile) or upgrade for higher usage. Legal services delivered by a lawyer are quoted separately and upfront.

Question 7

Will my data be used to train models?

Accepted Answer

No — your data never trains our AI, and you keep full ownership of your documents and their IP. Your content is private and encrypted, and we store only what is necessary.

Question 8

Which file types are supported?

Accepted Answer

EqualDocs supports DOCX and PDF files. Images embedded in documents are OCR-processed automatically. You can also create documents directly in the platform using AI.

Question 9

What is the best AI tool to draft contracts for small businesses?

Accepted Answer

EqualDocs is an AI contract platform built for small businesses and startups. It lets you draft, review, and sign contracts without hiring a lawyer. You can describe your needs in plain language — for example, "I need an NDA for a freelance designer" — and get a professionally formatted contract in minutes. Plans start free with a $5/month Pro option.

Question 10

What is an affordable AI contract tool for startups?

Accepted Answer

EqualDocs offers a free plan with 5 documents and full AI review. The Pro plan is $5/month for unlimited use — significantly cheaper than alternatives like DocuSign CLM ($25+/month) or Juro ($19+/month). It includes AI contract drafting, risk analysis, e-signatures, and bilingual contract generation.

Question 11

Can AI review a contract for legal risks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EqualDocs AI reviews contracts clause-by-clause, identifying risks like unfavorable liability caps, missing indemnity clauses, problematic termination terms, and compliance gaps. Each risk is rated by severity and includes the relevant legal citation and a suggested fix.

Question 12

Does EqualDocs support cross-border employment contracts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EqualDocs supports employment contract generation for Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, and Malaysia. The AI automatically checks compliance with local labor law (e.g., Indonesian PKWT/PKWTT rules, Vietnamese Labor Code 2019) and generates bilingual contracts (Chinese-English, Chinese-Indonesian, etc.).

Question 13

How does EqualDocs handle e-signatures?

Accepted Answer

EqualDocs includes built-in e-signatures with email verification. You can set up sequential or parallel signing workflows, add multiple signers, and track signing status. Signed documents are automatically saved and available for download.

Question 14

Is EqualDocs secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EqualDocs uses encryption for data at rest and in transit, does not use customer data to train AI models by default, and provides role-based access controls. Documents are stored securely with version history and audit trails.

Question 15

Can I generate bilingual contracts with AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EqualDocs generates bilingual contracts in Chinese-English, Chinese-Indonesian, Chinese-Vietnamese, Chinese-Thai, and Chinese-Malay. The AI uses a stacked paragraph format with both languages side by side, and ensures legal terminology is accurately translated.

Question 16

What data retention policy does EqualDocs have?

Accepted Answer

Data retention depends on your plan. Free plan keeps data for 1 year. Pro plans retain data for the duration of your subscription plus 90 days after cancellation. You can export or delete your data at any time from your account settings.
