Klu for legal work

The assistant appears in the Lex sidebar as Ask Lex. Typing / in the
composer opens its commands: a command sets how the assistant should work on the
turn — the structure of the output and which sources it must consult — so you do not
have to spell that out each time.
This page is reference. For a first conversation, see Getting started.
The commands
Section titled “The commands”| Command | Does | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| Contract analysis | Full structured read of one contract | A contract in the conversation |
| Compare clauses | Side-by-side clause comparison across documents | Two or more pinned documents |
| Cross-check documents | Field-by-field consistency check between documents | Two documents |
| Legal memo | A memo: question, law, analysis, conclusion | A question; ideally relevant material indexed |
| Deadlines | Every deadline and time limit, as a chronology | A document containing dates |
| Fill contract template | Fills the blanks of your own template from other documents | A template plus the documents holding the data |
| Expert analysis | Three experts analyse the case from different angles | A document or a written description of the case; the panel switched on for your firm |
| Summary | Executive summary of the conversation | An existing conversation |
| Report | The conversation as a downloadable PDF | An existing conversation |
Contract analysis, compare clauses, cross-check, legal memo and deadlines require your firm’s document module to be switched on, since each of them works from documents. Expert analysis appears only where the expert panel has been switched on for your firm; it is off by default.
Contract analysis
Section titled “Contract analysis”What it does. Reads one contract end to end and reports it in a fixed order: parties, object, duration, financial terms, obligations, penalties, termination clauses, risks and applicable law. It extracts the structured facts first — parties, object, value, duration, payment terms, penalties — then looks for legislation applicable to that type of contract, and closes with the standard legal disclaimer.
What it needs. The contract available to the assistant: pinned with @,
dropped into the conversation, or already in a knowledge base.
When to use it. A contract has landed and you need a structured picture before advising — the terms as written, plus what jumps out as risk. Also useful as a first pass on an inherited file.
Compare clauses
Section titled “Compare clauses”What it does. Compares the pinned documents clause category by clause category — liability, termination, confidentiality, penalties, force majeure, governing law — in a side-by-side table per category, and calls out the significant differences and the risks they carry.
What it needs. Two or more documents pinned with @. This command compares what
you pin; it is not a search across everything.
When to use it. Negotiating against a counterparty’s draft and wanting the delta from your own template. Or checking that a family of contracts your firm produced actually says the same thing.
Cross-check documents
Section titled “Cross-check documents”What it does. Checks the same facts across two documents and reports every field as matching, mismatching or missing from one side, in a table. Then it explains each mismatch: what the discrepancy is, why it matters, and what it recommends doing about it — closing with a verdict of consistent, minor discrepancies, or significant issues.
The fields it prioritises are the ones that usually break a file: full name, date of birth, employer name and address, employee address, job title, employment start date, contract type, gross annual salary, holiday pay, weekly hours, and company registration number. Any other field present in both documents is compared too.
What it needs. Two documents — pinned with @, or uploaded in the same message.
When to use it. Anywhere a third party will reject a file over an inconsistency: an employment contract against a payslip or an employer statement, a set of documents assembled for a financing application, an annex against the body of an agreement.
Legal memo
Section titled “Legal memo”What it does. Drafts a memo in the classic shape: the question or issue, the applicable law and precedent it retrieved, the analysis applying the law to the facts, and a clear conclusion — with the standard legal disclaimer.
What it needs. A question, and the facts stated in the conversation. It searches the indexed material for the applicable law, so it works best when the relevant codes, decisions or firm documents are within its reach.
When to use it. The first draft of an internal note or client advice. Read it as a draft: the structure and the retrieved sources save the time, your judgement supplies the answer.
Deadlines
Section titled “Deadlines”What it does. Pulls every time-sensitive item out of the referenced documents — deadlines, limitation periods, notice periods, filing dates, renewal dates — into a chronological table of date or period, type, description and consequence, and highlights anything imminent or already passed.
What it needs. One or more documents containing dates.
When to use it. Taking over a file and needing the calendar implications immediately; or checking a long contract for renewal and notice windows before it auto-renews on you.
Worth being clear about the boundary: this command reads dates out of documents. It does not put them in your diary. Your firm’s actual terms and reminders live in Deadlines and calendar, and you can ask the assistant about those in plain language.
Fill contract template
Section titled “Fill contract template”What it does. Takes a contract template you attach — your own, since Lex has no template library and will not substitute one — and fills its blanks with data from the other documents you attach, such as identity documents, certificates or earlier contracts. The template’s layout and wording are kept; only the blanks are filled.
If a field has no value in the documents, Lex lists it by its label, says why it is missing and waits for you to supply it, or to tell it to leave that blank as it is. The finished file is produced only once every required field has a value. Lex then asks where to file it — Salvează la un client existent or Creează un client nou — and the contract appears on that client’s Contracts tab (see Clients, contacts and cases).
What it needs. The template as a Word (.docx) file or a PDF with selectable text, plus the source documents, attached to the conversation. A scanned PDF with no selectable text is refused, with a request for a Word file or a PDF exported from a text document. Draft with Lex on a client’s Contracts tab starts the same conversation.
When to use it. Producing a standard contract — employment, services, confidentiality — for a new client whose details sit in the documents they sent you. Read the filled contract before it is signed: the values come from the documents, and a document can be wrong.
Expert analysis
Section titled “Expert analysis”What it does. Runs your firm’s panel of experts over one case. Each expert argues from its own angle — the three standard experts are Expert de fond (your client’s case), Expert al părții adverse (the strongest opposing position) and Expert de procedură (jurisdiction, standing, time limits, evidence, remedies). The result arrives as one message with its sources, setting out where the experts agree and where they diverge, and labelled as AI-assisted analysis that is not a prediction of the court’s decision.
Before anything runs, Lex shows a proposal — the area of law (materie), the experts, the sources and the expected duration — with Pornește panelul, Schimbă materia to pick one of nine areas instead, and Renunță to cancel. While the panel runs, each expert works on its own card. A document too long for one run is refused at the proposal stage, with the reason.
What it needs. The case: an attached document, or the facts written in your message. Optionally the case number and your specific question. The panel must be switched on for your firm.
When to use it. Testing a position before a hearing or advice — seeing the other side’s best argument and the procedural risks laid out next to your own. Treat it as a draft for your judgement, like every other command.
Configuring the experts. Where the panel is on, the sidebar has Legal Experts: Experts lists the firm’s experts with their role, areas and model, and Standard panel shows which experts run. Everyone with access to the assistant can read these pages and each expert’s instructions (Prompt). Changing them — New expert, the areas an expert covers, its Expert instructions, Tone, Creativity, whether it is Active, and which of the firm’s Knowledge bases it may read — is reserved for the workspace owner. The firm’s instructions are added to the platform’s rules and never replace them. Experts never appear in chat as assistants of their own.
Summary and Report
Section titled “Summary and Report”Summary condenses the conversation into an executive summary — key points, parties, dates, obligations — kept to about a page.
Report turns the conversation into a downloadable PDF with a title, the findings, data tables and conclusions organised under headings. Individual answers can also be exported directly with Export PDF, and to Word where your firm has enabled that for the assistant.
What the assistant can look up on its own
Section titled “What the assistant can look up on its own”You do not need a command for these; ask in plain language and the assistant reaches for the right source. Everything it returns is scoped to your firm and to what your role lets you see.
Your firm’s records
| Ask about | For example |
|---|---|
| Clients | “find the client with CUI …”, “which clients are prospects?” |
| Case records | “open cases for Popescu SRL” |
| Case files (dosare) | “list active matters at Tribunalul Cluj” |
| Portal change history | “what changed on dosar 1234/2026 this month?” |
| Deadlines | “what is due this week?”, “my overdue terms” |
| Your documents | “what does our standard NDA say about penalties?” |
Public legal material
| Ask about | For example |
|---|---|
| Legislation | “art. 1357 cod civil”, “răspundere civilă delictuală” |
| Cross-references between articles | “what does art. 48 cod civil refer to?” |
| Constitutional Court decisions | “decizia 114”, “decisions on …” |
| Court cases from the portal and the Supreme Court archive | “cases with party X at Judecătoria Sector 1” |
There is no separate data-extraction or legislation-search command: extraction is covered by cross-checking, and legislation search works better as a plain question. The general planning command is also left out of Lex. Nothing is lost; ask for what you want.
The starting suggestions
Section titled “The starting suggestions”An empty conversation offers one-click starts: analyse a contract, compare clauses across contracts, search for a client, fill a contract template, the status of active cases and upcoming deadlines — plus Expert analysis where the panel is on. They are shortcuts into the same behaviour described above.
Two things to keep in mind
Section titled “Two things to keep in mind”Commands change the method, not the standard. Read the sources, grounding badge and warnings a command’s answer shows exactly as you would for any other answer, and treat their absence as a reason to check, not as reassurance — see Legislation and case-law research.
Output is a draft. Contract analysis, memos and comparisons are AI-generated and can be incomplete or wrong. Verify the sources and confirm the citations before anything goes to a client, a court or a counterparty.
