GADEN COUNSEL · POWERED BY AEL

The AI attorney that redlines with live citations.

Gaden Counsel drafts and reviews contracts the way a senior associate does — clause by clause, researching current law against real court records, then handing you an executive memo, the redlines, and a straight verdict on whether to sign.

Candidate ownership reads as a backdoor non-solicit
The "candidate ownership" construct functions like a liquidated-damages restraint across NY and CA, with an over-broad "any-capacity" definition that shifts the burden onto the client. In California this kind of clause faces real enforceability challenges.

THE COUNSEL PIPELINE

Four phases, run like an associate who never gets tired.

Drop in a contract — or ask Gaden to draft one — and Counsel works it end to end, out loud, so you watch the reasoning happen.

01 · DECOMPOSE

Splits the contract

Breaks the agreement into individually reviewable clauses — parties, fees, termination, ownership, indemnity — so nothing hides in the fine print.

02 · RESEARCH

Reads current law

Runs live web research per clause and cross-checks case citations against CourtListener public court records. It never invents case law — if it can't find it, it says so.

03 · ASSESS

Scores the risk

Rates every clause across five levels, flags contradictions across the whole document, and drafts the redline and the negotiation leverage for each concern.

04 · SYNTHESIZE

Writes the memo

Delivers an executive memo with a signing verdict, the strengths, the missing provisions, and a prioritized punch-list — the brief a partner would hand you.

WHAT COUNSEL DOES

Draft it, review it, defend it.

One legal brain for both sides of the page — generating agreements from scratch and tearing apart the ones on your desk.

GENERATE

Contract generation

Describe the deal in plain language and Counsel drafts the full agreement clause by clause — planned like an instrument, not a template fill-in.

REVIEW

Clause-by-clause review

Every section read on its own merits, with strengths, missing provisions, and the exact language that creates exposure.

RESEARCH

Live case-law research

Current law pulled per clause and verified against CourtListener — real appellate records, not a training-data guess.

REDLINE

Suggested redlines

Not just "this is risky" — the actual rewrite, plus the negotiation leverage to win the point at the table.

CROSS-CHECK

Contradiction detection

Catches clauses that fight each other across a long document — the conflicts that survive three rounds of edits.

SYNTHESIZE

Executive memo & verdict

A partner-style brief with a clear signing verdict: sign, negotiate before signing, or walk.

DEEP EXPERT

Just-briefed mode

Before answering a hard question, Counsel reads the latest case law on that exact topic — switching from generally smart to just-briefed.

ASK

Ask Counsel

Chat about any clause with the entire review already in context — plain-English answers on what a term really means.

HOW COUNSEL GRADES

Five levels, one honest verdict.

Every clause lands on a rung — so you know what's fatal, what's negotiable, and what's already clean.

CRITICALUnenforceable, illegal, or catastrophic exposure — do not sign as written.
HIGHSignificant concern — needs a redline before signing.
MEDIUMMinor concern or a best-practice improvement worth making.
LOWMarket-standard with a little polish left on the table.
CLEANExcellent — no concerns, nothing to fix.

IT REASONS ACROSS DOMAINS

A generalist with specialist reflexes.

Counsel routes each request into the right practice area and reasons from that framework — the authorities, the traps, the market-standard positions.

THE COUNSEL BOUNDARY

Final review always belongs to your legal team.

Gaden Counsel is an AI legal assistant — not a licensed attorney — and its output isn't legal advice or an attorney-client relationship. It does the heavy lifting: the reading, the research, the redlines, the memo. Then it tells you plainly where a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction should review before you act. You move faster; the final call stays human.

Stop paying by the hour to find the landmines.

Counsel reads the whole contract in minutes and shows you exactly where it bites.
