You can see it because you know code. It takes an engineer to spot the edge cases, push back on the output and ask the next question. Contracts work the same way. The difference is where the expertise sits.
That’s not because law is harder than code. It’s because nobody has expertise outside their own field. That’s why the advice should come from someone accountable, bound by professional secrecy, who knows what to ask.
Every memo is reviewed and signed by Dimitri Descardes, member of the Barreau du Québec, who is responsible for the advice. AI never sends advice on its own.
A tool answers the question you give it. Six years in-house negotiating these contracts means knowing which clauses a buyer is likely to push on, and which fights aren’t worth having.
As a member of the Barreau du Québec, I am bound by professional secrecy. What you share with me to get legal advice stays confidential, and I can’t disclose it without your permission or an express provision of law. A general-purpose AI tool owes you no professional secrecy; its provider’s terms govern what you type.
Send what your AI already flagged. Every point gets a verdict in the memo, so nothing your team did is wasted:

How I use AI. AI tools speed up reading and drafting. Your documents are stored in Canada; some processing, including AI drafting, happens in the United States. The AI provider does not use your data to train its models. Your engagement letter explains how AI is used on your file and asks for your consent. Details on the Security page
One fixed fee, set by your deal size and agreed before any work starts. No hourly meter, no surprise bill.
Quebec Buyer Flags are included in every band: the French-language and Law 25 points this buyer is likely to raise.

100% of what you paid for your Check is credited toward your first Deal Desk month if you start within 30 days (60 days if you start your Check by November 30, 2026, through SaaS North). Credited, not refunded. One credit per company.
The question isn’t “lawyer or nothing”. It’s “AI alone, or AI plus a lawyer”. Here’s the math on one example deal, with every assumption shown.
| Lever | How we estimate it | Illustrated value |
|---|---|---|
| Your time back | 8–10 hours you don’t spend prompting, checking and arguing without knowing what’s standard, at $150–175/h | $1,200–1,750 |
| Fewer days in legal | About 10 days of back-and-forth saved (buyer-side legal approval averages 9.6 days, per Vertice), valued at half the deal’s daily value | ≈$1,000 |
| Lower chance the deal slips or is lost | 3–5 percentage points lower, × $75k × 80% gross margin | $1,800–3,000 |
| A costly clause avoided | 2% chance a key clause is triggered × 3× the deal value × the 30–40% a lawyer catches beyond your AI | $1,350–1,800 |
| Your next deals start faster | Positions playbook reused on the next deals | $1,000–1,350 |
| Privacy fines | Counted as $0. Headline maximums don’t belong in this math | $0 |
| Accountability and professional secrecy | Real, but not given a dollar figure here | not counted |
| Illustrated total | Against a $750 fee | ≈$6,400–8,900 |
This is an illustration, not a promise of any result. Every number is an estimate built on the assumptions shown above; your deal, your buyer and your numbers will differ, and the value may be lower. Nothing here guarantees that a deal closes, closes faster or avoids any loss. We guarantee the deadline, not the outcome.
Your memo within 1 business day and your redline within 3 business days of receiving your complete documents. If either is late, you pay nothing. We guarantee the deadline, not the outcome.
Clock starts when your documents are complete. If something’s missing, you’ll hear within 1 business day.
The buyer’s next round reviewed within 2 business days. Every memo reviewed and signed by a member of the Barreau du Québec. Written in plain language your sales team can use.
Pick the start date that fits your deal. Your memo arrives the next business day.
Documents due by 9 AM ET on your start day.
One credit covers one deal up to $150k: buyer-paper review, memo, redline and one pushback round. A $150k–$300k deal uses 2 credits; $300k+ or government uses 3.
Unused credits roll over one month. Right-size promise: if you use fewer than half your credits two months in a row, we move you down to the smaller plan. Cancel any month; rate locked for 12 months. “First response” is an acknowledgment and a first answer, not a resolution time.
Fill in a 5-minute order form with your deal size. Conflict check, then a one-page engagement letter to e-sign, with the AI-use disclosure included.
Plus your sales contract and whatever your AI tool flagged. Everything goes through a private portal, never email.
Signed memo the next business day, redline by day 3, call prep when you need it, and the buyer’s next round covered.
One counterparty agreement (an MSA, SaaS agreement or order form) plus up to two schedules, such as a DPA or an SLA. Large contracts, RFPs and government packages get a fixed quote within 1 business day, priced by scope, or go to Deal Desk.
You should use it, and I do too. But an AI review still needs someone accountable who knows what to ask. Send me what your AI found. I’ll tell you which points matter for this buyer, which to drop and what’s missing, and I sign that advice. If your deal is under about $50k, honestly, a good AI tool is probably enough.
Flagging isn’t deciding. The memo says, for this buyer, what to accept, what to push back on and the fallback for each, and grades your AI’s list: agree, adjust, not worth the fight, or missed.
Keep the tool. What you get is a lawyer’s signed judgment on this buyer’s paper, delivered on a deadline, at a fixed fee. On a $75k deal, our illustration above puts the value at about 8.5–12× the fee. Your numbers will differ.
Yes, I use AI, and I’ll tell you how in writing. Your engagement letter explains which tools touch your file and asks for your consent. With a fixed fee, the time AI saves goes to you, never into billable hours.
You tell us on the order form: the deal’s expected first-year value. The fee is fixed before any work starts and doesn’t depend on whether the deal closes.
Yes. Your work is scheduled on a set start date, and the memo is written as soon as your documents arrive. If either deadline is missed, the Check is free.
No. Nobody can honestly promise that. We guarantee the deadline, not the outcome. You’ll know what the buyer will push on and what to say back.
If you have more deals coming, Deal Desk starts at $1,500 a month for 2 deal credits, and your Check fee is credited toward the first month. You’re under no obligation to continue.
