The AI Changing Legal Advice for Entrepreneurs

As someone who’s worked with entrepreneurs for years, I’ve seen firsthand how their drive fuels constant innovation. But that same energy can also create challenges, especially when it comes to navigating complex legal agreements. That’s where Aracor, an AI tool, is making a significant impact.

Take a recent case: an experienced entrepreneur was recapitalizing his business with new investment. The investor wanted a range of agreements—restrictive covenants, a revised shareholders’ pact, settlement terms, and more—adding to existing legal obligations. When the entrepreneur asked, “What’s stopping me from launching a new software business?” the answer wasn’t simple. The relevant documents included multiple restrictive covenants, shareholders’ agreements, articles of organization, and various investment terms—over 600 pages across three jurisdictions.

From Days of Legal Review to Seconds of Insight

Traditionally, this would mean having a junior associate sift through the documents, flagging key clauses, and drafting a summary—a process that could take days and cost thousands in legal fees. With Aracor, I simply uploaded the files, entered a prompt—“outline restrictions on [entrepreneur] starting a software business”—and got a detailed breakdown in less than a minute, with links to every relevant clause. What used to take hours now takes moments.

Aracor is a co-intelligent legal platform designed for high-growth sectors like venture capital and private equity. It automates tasks like contract review, due diligence, and compliance with tools such as 1-Click Document Summarization, automated redlining, and OCR with signature verification. Its due diligence features let business leaders assess new ventures without upfront legal fees, helping them make sharper, more informed decisions.
