Signed up with Google? Use that same provider's button to sign in later — there's no separate LawpalAI password to reset.
One interface handles drafting, research, review, and consultation.
Your task history lives in the sidebar
Every past conversation is saved and organized by when you last worked on it.
Start fresh with New Task
Click it any time to open a new conversation without losing your existing ones.
The composer does everything
Type an instruction, ask a question, or attach a document — the same box routes to drafting, research, review, or consultation based on what you ask.
Your account menu is top-right
It shows your plan, remaining credits, and quick links to settings and support.
Every AI response has a thumbs up / thumbs down control — using it helps shape how LawpalAI improves.
How usage is measured, and what happens when you're running low.
Everything runs on credits
Chat messages, drafts, research, and document reviews each draw from your monthly credit allocation.
Legal Explorer is free
It includes 100 credits a month and resets automatically each cycle — no card required to start.
Paid plans unlock more
Associate and Partner raise your monthly allocation and add priority support; Law Enterprise is a custom plan for firms.
Track usage anytime
Head to Profile → Subscription & Billing to see exactly how many credits you have left and when they renew.
You'll see a low-credit warning on your subscription page before you actually run out — no surprises mid-task.
From a first instruction to a document you can actually file or sign.
Contracts, pleadings, deeds — corporate or contentious.
Describe what you need
In plain language: a tenancy agreement, a board resolution, a statement of claim — whatever the matter calls for.
Give the key details
Parties, dates, sums, and any specific terms you already know — the more specific, the less back-and-forth later.
Get a structured first draft
LawpalAI produces it in the right format, whether it's a corporate document or a litigation filing.
Ask for changes in chat
"Shorten clause 3" or "add an arbitration clause" — LawpalAI revises the draft in place.
Mention the governing law or jurisdiction up front if it matters — it shapes which statutes and formats apply.
Every revision is saved, not overwritten.
Ask for a revision
LawpalAI saves the version you had before making the change.
Open the version history
Compare drafts side by side, or roll back to an earlier version at any point.
Keep refining across sessions
Return to the same chat days later — your draft and its full history are still there.
Say what you remember. Get the Nigerian authority that proves it.
No exact case names or citations required.
Describe the principle you're after
You don't need the case name — a description of the issue is enough to start.
LawpalAI searches Nigerian authority
Its indexed library of case law, statutes, and rules of court is searched for what actually supports the point.
Read the synthesized answer
Along with the specific cases and provisions LawpalAI relied on, cited in full.
Vague recall is enough — "the case about burden of proof shifting in civil claims" is a perfectly good query.
Treat every answer as a starting point worth checking.
Cross-check the citation
Click through and verify the case or statute yourself before relying on it in anything formal.
Ask a follow-up
Explore a related principle, a counter-argument, or how the authority has been applied since.
Carry it into a draft
Reference a cited authority in your next instruction and LawpalAI will work it into the document.
Upload anything your practice produces. Get risks flagged in seconds.
Contracts, pleadings, and correspondence — PDF or Word.
Attach your file
Use the attach option in the chat composer — PDF and Word documents up to 20MB are supported.
Say what you want checked
A general risk scan, or something specific like "check the termination clause."
Get a structured summary
LawpalAI reads every clause and returns its findings within seconds.
Every clause gets a verdict — here's what each one means.
High Risk
Clauses that are unenforceable as drafted, or expose you to material loss.
Needs Review
Ambiguous or incomplete terms worth tightening before signing or filing.
Compliant
Clauses confirmed to hold up as drafted — no action required.
Ask why
Ask "why is this flagged" on any clause for a plain-language explanation.
Practical guidance on any legal question, any time of day.
Describe your situation — no formal framing required.
Describe your situation
Plain language is fine — you don't need to phrase it as a formal legal question.
Get a grounded answer
LawpalAI reasons through it with you, citing the statute and case law behind its answer.
Keep the conversation going
Ask follow-ups naturally — context from earlier in the thread carries forward.
Consultations aren't limited to one practice area — ask about a litigation deadline in one message and a shareholder dispute in the next.
Chat history, subscription, billing, and account settings.
Rename, resume, or delete past conversations.
Every chat is saved automatically
It appears in your sidebar, organized by when you last worked on it.
