For mid-sized businesses

You’ve outgrown ad-hoc legal. You haven’t grown into a legal department.

Somewhere past fifty people, legal stops being occasional: a contract every week, an employee question every day, a new state every quarter — and either no lawyer on staff, or one person holding all of it. FinePrint is the in-house legal function built for exactly this stage. AI agents run the volume, licensed attorneys review what matters, and the whole company works from one current record.

The volume, off your desk.

At this size almost nothing that arrives is difficult. It is the arriving that is the problem — several times a week, from every direction, to a person whose actual job is something else. These three runs are where the week goes.

Contracts

Commercial paper at commercial speed.

NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, DPAs and renewals — drafted on your paper with your positions, sent, signed, and filed where diligence will one day look. Counterparty redlines come back as an issue list against your standards, not forty pages of tracked changes. And /renew-agreement watches the dates nobody was watching, so auto-renewals stop being how you find out.

The six commercial endpoints

People

Employment paper that matches your policies — in every state you’re in.

/hire-employee, /engage-contractor, /convert-contractor, /terminate-employment, /update-handbook — run against the policies you actually have, not a template’s guess. When recruiting wins a new state, /foreign-qualify registers you before payroll needs it. Sensitive matters go Yellow and a licensed employment attorney confirms before anything moves.

One hire, run frame by frame

Govern

Governance and compliance that don’t slip.

Board consents, minutes, officer appointments, annual reports, franchise tax — /annual-compliance watches every entity’s calendar so a deadline is a task on Today, not a penalty letter. The record’s third view names what’s missing, what doesn’t match, and what’s due soon, across everything the company has signed.

The record, in three views

Twenty-six of the forty-one are just the law of an operating company.

FinePrint is often read as a startup product because startups were the first customers. Look at what the endpoints actually are and most of them have nothing to do with venture capital: they are contracts, people, governance, filings and intellectual property — the legal work every company with revenue and employees already does, usually badly, usually late.

Consents, minutes, directors and officers — every resolution traced to the authority that permits it.

What you own, and whether you can prove it — chain of title first, registrations on top of it.

/assign-ip /file-trademark /license-ip
Venture mechanics15

Formation, equity and fundraising — the other fifteen. There if you ever want them, invisible if you don’t.

/adopt-equity-plan /issue-safe /close-priced-round

Twenty-six plus fifteen is the whole catalogue. Nothing is switched off for a company that will never raise a round — the venture endpoints simply never come up, the way the payroll module you don’t use never comes up. And an endpoint is not a template: it is the whole transaction, from the documents through the approvals and signatures to the filing and the record updated after.

A worked example

Recruiting won an argument. Now you employ in a new state.

This is the transaction that catches a company with no legal department, because nothing stops. Payroll will happily run in a state you have never registered in. The bill arrives later, as back penalties, a revoked registration, or a finding in somebody’s diligence.

Run as an endpoint, the state is part of the hire rather than a task somebody files afterwards. The registrations go in with the offer, the handbook gains the addendum that state requires, and the state’s recurring dates join the calendar the moment the certificate is granted.

Registered before payroll needed it. Certificate, agent appointment and every account receipt filed in the Legal DataRoom. Annual registration and agent renewal on the calendar. The handbook the state requires is now the handbook the company actually issues.

  • It reads before it acts

    Which states you are already qualified in, how many people you employ, which handbook version is in force, who may sign. A required fact that is missing stops the run and is asked for by name rather than guessed at.

  • One run, not eleven tickets

    The filing, the agent, three tax accounts, the insurance endorsement, the handbook addendum and the notices in the offer packet are one matter with one owner — not a checklist somebody rebuilds from memory the next time it happens.

  • It stops on purpose

    A prior restrictive covenant is a legal judgment, not a form field. The endpoint assembles the file and a licensed employment attorney answers before anything moves — included in your plan, with the scope on screen before the engagement exists.

  • The next state is cheaper than this one

    Everything learned here is written back: the entity’s registration footprint, the policy set, the calendar. The second state reads what the first one wrote, which is why the work compounds instead of repeating.

Already have a lawyer on staff? FinePrint makes one counsel feel like a department.

Your counsel sets the positions and holds the approvals. The agents run the volume. The OpenLegal network takes the overflow and the specialist matters — included in the plan, not billed by the hour.

  • Your lawyer stops doing first-pass review and starts deciding — the agents bring matters to them with the file already built.
  • Every position they set once becomes the standard every future matter runs on.
  • Nothing runs until someone you’ve authorized approves it.

The failure mode of a one-lawyer legal function is not competence, it is arithmetic. One person cannot be the first reader of every contract, the author of every policy, the owner of every filing calendar and the answer to every question from sales — and also be the person who thinks about the two decisions that actually matter this quarter. FinePrint takes the first three.

Every matter carries a level, and the level decides who touches it.

This is the part that makes the volume safe to hand over. The lane is not a mood and not a confidence score — it is a rule written into the endpoint, and the agent does not get to argue with it.

Green — agents execute.

Standard work with complete facts runs end to end, with your approval. Licensed reviewers score samples of the output continuously.

Yellow — a lawyer confirms.

The matter sits outside what the model has been taught, so it stops. A licensed attorney answers before anything moves — included in your plan.

Red — a specialist lawyer leads.

A financing, a dispute, a regulated question. The specialist takes the matter with the file already built.

The most important thing the system knows is when it doesn’t know.

FinePrint is a legal technology company, not a law firm. Where a matter requires legal judgment, a licensed attorney reviews it or takes it, engaged by you, with the scope on screen before anything begins. The two modes of review

Two plans cover this stage.

Priced for the company rather than per seat, which at this size is the whole point: the account executive who needs an order form and the recruiter who needs an offer are working on the same record, and neither of them is a licence you have to buy.

The work Without a legal department Run as an endpoint
An inbound contract It waits for whoever has bandwidth, or it goes out barely read because the quarter is closing. /review-contract returns an issue list against your own standards, with the one term that needs judgment flagged Yellow.
A hire in a state you are not registered in Payroll runs anyway. The registration surfaces months later as back penalties or a diligence finding. /foreign-qualify runs with the hire, and that state’s recurring dates join Today.
A handbook that is two years old Nobody owns it, so it stays two years old — and it does not match the states you have since hired in. /update-handbook rebuilds the policy set for every state you employ in and collects the acknowledgments.
Board consents and minutes Written after the fact, if at all, then reconstructed under time pressure when somebody finally asks. /create-board-consent and /hold-board-meeting produce them at the time, attached to whatever they authorize.
Annual reports and franchise tax A spreadsheet somebody used to maintain, in a job somebody used to have. /annual-compliance and /file-franchise-tax watch every entity in every state, then file, pay and receipt.
A question nobody on staff can answer An email to a firm, and hours spent getting them up to speed on your own company before the question is even reached. Yellow. A licensed attorney answers with the record and the documents already assembled — included in your plan.
Years of signed paper in shared drives Nobody can say what the company has already promised, so every new promise is made blind. Filed into the Legal DataRoom, marked as arriving from outside, and the company record is built around them.

Growth — $999 a month is where most companies at this size start: all six specialist agents, the standard endpoints, and enough credits for a real month of contracts and hires. Business — $2,499 a month adds multiple entities, custom policies — your written positions and fallbacks encoded, so the answer to a liability cap is the same on Friday as it was on Monday — and API access, so endpoints can be called from the systems your team already lives in.

Both plans are for the company, not per seat. Every plan includes credits and endpoints draw credits as they run. Attorney review is included in the subscription, and government fees are passed through at cost. How the work is counted

What an operator actually asks.

We’re not a venture-backed startup. Is this still for us?

Yes. Twenty-six of the forty-one endpoints are the everyday law of any operating company — contracts, people, governance, filings, IP. The other fifteen are venture mechanics: SAFEs, priced rounds, option plans. They’re there if you ever want them and invisible if you don’t.

How does the price compare with what we pay outside counsel now?

Plans for this stage run $999 to $2,499 a month, published, for the company — around 90% less than a typical retainer. That figure is our estimate, built from published hourly-rate ranges and the volume of routine work the plans carry, and we show the arithmetic on the pricing page The plan prices themselves don’t need estimating.

What happens to our existing law firm?

Keep it — for the matters that genuinely need a specialist. FinePrint routes those Red with the record, the documents and the history assembled before the first call, so the hours you buy are judgment hours, not reconstruction hours.

We have years of signed contracts in shared drives. Where do they go?

Into the Legal DataRoom. Documents you already hold are filed and marked as arriving from outside, and the company record is built around them — so the system knows what you’ve already promised before it drafts anything new. What’s in a room, and who put it there

We have several entities — an operating company, an old holding company, a subsidiary. Is that a problem?

It is one record with several entities in it, on the Business plan and up. Each entity carries its own charter, board, registrations and filing calendar, and the intercompany paper sits between them rather than in somebody’s memory. The structure question itself — whether an entity should exist, and where — usually carries a tax position, so it routes to a specialist instead of being answered by an endpoint.

Who approves things, and can we control that?

You approve the plan before a run starts, and you approve any step that signs, sends, files or pays. Signing authority is part of the record rather than a convention: /appoint-officer writes who may sign what, and later endpoints read it rather than asking. Nothing that binds the company or spends money happens on its own.

Does anything we run become training data?

No. The Two-Corpus Rule is the whole answer: OpenLegalLM learns from what its contributors give it, never from your record. Your data sits encrypted and company-isolated with per-document keys, and you can export it in full or delete it — deletion is immediate in live systems and completes as short-lived encrypted backups expire. How the isolation works

Legal coverage that’s always on.

The volume runs. The judgment is a licensed attorney’s. The record is current on Friday because it was current on Monday.
