Frequently asked questions
Common questions about our AI document generation service.
How much does a business contract cost in South Africa?
Traditional attorney-drafted business contracts in South Africa can cost R2,000 to R10,000+ depending on complexity. Lawly generates business documents from R199 per document, drafted using South African legal frameworks. Review before use — depth to match the document: routine documents typically need a careful read-through and tailoring; high-stakes contractual matters warrant attorney review before signing.
Do I need an attorney for an NDA in South Africa?
There is no legal requirement for an attorney to draft an NDA in South Africa. Lawly generates NDA documents drafted using South African legal frameworks. For routine commercial NDAs, a careful read-through and tailoring to your situation is usually enough. For NDAs covering high-value trade secrets, M&A discussions or complex multi-party arrangements, an attorney review before signing is sensible.
What documents does a small business need in South Africa?
South African small businesses typically need written employment terms (section 29 of the BCEA requires written particulars of employment), a privacy policy based on POPIA, terms of service, NDAs for confidential discussions, and service or sales agreements. Lawly offers 14 document types, drafted using SA legal frameworks. The Complete Package (R1,299) includes all of them. Review before use — depth to match the document.
How does AI document generation work?
You select a document type and answer guided questions about your business. Lawly's AI then drafts a document for your situation using South African legal terminology and business law structures, rather than filling in a generic template. Documents are delivered as PDF, or as Word and Google Docs with the all-formats option, for your review and finalisation.
Is Lawly a law firm?
No. Lawly is an AI business document generation service, not a law firm, legal service or legal advisor. We provide automated document drafting technology that generates documents drafted using South African legal frameworks. We do not provide legal advice or guarantee legal compliance. Review before use — depth to match the document.
