GitLaw Raises $3M Pre-seed Led by Jackson Square Ventures To Launch Its AI Legal companion

Founded in 2025 by serial entrepreneur Nick Holzherr, GitLaw aims to make legal documents more accessible through AI automation.

The platform helps startups draft, redline, and review contracts like NDAs, SaaS agreements, and investor terms using over 1,000 lawyer-reviewed templates. It generates contracts within minutes and reviews incoming documents against trusted standards.

Unlike generic AI tools, GitLaw combines community-driven legal expertise with multi-model AI reasoning to replicate real legal workflows.

Commercially minded lawyers won’t be out of work, but most day-to-day contract tasks can now be done faster, cheaper, and often more accurately by automation, said Nick Holzherr, GitLaw’s founder and CEO.

Over 80% of small businesses in the US operate without in-house legal support, while outsourcing can cost growth-stage startups over $20,000 annually for contracts, compliance, and investor paperwork. GitLaw aims to automate up to 90% of this workload cutting costs while ensuring accuracy and security.

However, founder Nick Holzherr cautions that relying on generic AI tools for contract drafting or review can be risky and unreliable.

“Generic AI tools speak with extreme confidence, but their answers often have serious flaws. For example, some only read a fraction of a contract, but still claim to have read it all. I’ve been really surprised at how lazy some of the tools are, probably because they’re trying to save tokens (their cost), and that’s dangerous when legal precision matters.”

GitLaw takes a structured, multi-model approach to legal automation. Its AI agent orchestrates several workflows to deliver precise, lawyer-grade results using a growing library of vetted templates for NDAs, contractor agreements, shareholder terms, and SaaS licenses. Designed for businesses, GitLaw streamlines contract preparation with speed, accuracy and minimal legal oversight.

Legal work shouldn’t take six weeks for a three-day project, and businesses shouldn’t have to choose between moving fast and staying legally safe. GitLaw is my way of fixing that, helping founders get professional-quality contracts instantly without needing a big budget, Holzherr added.

The funding will fuel the launch of GitLaw’s AI agent, empowering businesses to draft, review and negotiate contracts within minutes for free. It will also accelerate product development and support expansion across the US and UK markets.
