What the contract review checks under US law
When the Word add-in reviews a contract governed by US law, the model is given these jurisdiction notes, quoted here exactly as the product uses them:
Key references: vary by governing state law — flag the governing-law clause explicitly so downstream review can apply the correct state doctrine. California: non-compete covenants are unenforceable except in narrow sale-of-business or partnership-dissolution contexts (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §16600); flag any non-compete against a California resident. New York: courts will generally honour a reasonable New York choice-of-law clause, but related forum-selection and jury-waiver provisions warrant an explicit flag for the lawyer to review. Federal overlays to watch: FAA-governed arbitration clauses, DTSA trade-secret carve-outs, and consumer-protection statutes (TCPA, CCPA/CPRA, etc.).
The notes steer what the review looks for. They are not a complete statement of the law, and the model still has to read the contract.
Measured quality
Attorly has not published a benchmark for US law yet. The published benchmarks cover Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany, so there is no measured accuracy figure for the United States to rely on.
Who it fits, and who it does not
Best for:
- Reviewing and drafting contracts governed by US law, with context for its legal tradition and default drafting language.
- Research questions answered from Congress.gov, CourtListener, and SEC EDGAR, with citations to the sources each answer relies on.
Not the best fit for:
- Buyers who need a published accuracy figure for US law before they start: none is published yet.
- Decisions that need a lawyer’s sign-off. Attorly gives legal information, not legal advice; a qualified lawyer should check anything you rely on.
