FAQ
Can I apply legal design in non-legal areas?
Yes. Although it originated in the legal world, legal design can be applied in compliance, HR, accounting, and any process where clarity and user experience are key.
What is the difference between legal design and graphic design?
Both are instruments for raising capital before a company has a fixed valuation, but they have a fundamental difference:
A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is a warrant giving an investor the right to receive equity in a future funding round. It is not debt. It has no maturity date or interest rate, making it simpler and more founder-friendly.
A Convertible Note is a debt instrument. It carries an interest rate and a maturity date. If the startup doesn’t raise a funding round before that date, the investor could demand repayment, creating additional pressure on the company.
What is Legal Design and why does my company need it?
Legal Design is a methodology that combines law, design, and technology to create user-centric documents and processes. It serves to transform complex legal texts into clear, functional tools. Your company needs it to accelerate deal closures, reduce repetitive inquiries to the legal team, and improve your brand reputation by offering a transparent experience.
Can I apply Legal Design in non-legal areas?
Yes. Although it originated in the legal field, it is vital for departments like Compliance, HR (Human Resources), and Finance. Any process requiring clarity and adherence—such as ethics manuals, expense policies, or employee onboarding—benefits significantly from becoming more user-friendly and understandable for the workforce.
Does simplifying documents compromise their legal validity?
No, quite the opposite; it reinforces it. Legal security depends on precision, not complexity. By applying Plain Language and visual design, we ensure that all parties truly understand what they are signing. This increases enforceability and reduces the risk of non-compliance due to confusion or lack of knowledge.
What is the difference between Legal Design and Graphic Design?
Graphic design prioritizes aesthetics; Legal Design prioritizes function. We restructure the document’s logic and prioritize critical information to facilitate reading and decision-making, using aesthetics only as a vehicle for clarity. Graphic design decorates; Legal Design solves.
Is Legal Design the same as Legal Tech?
No, but they complement each other. Legal Design improves the content and usability of the document. Legal Tech Workflow (another one of our services) focuses on automating and digitizing those processes. We recommend simplifying the process (Design) before automating it (Tech) to avoid digitizing inefficiencies.
What if my problem isn't the contract, but that nobody reads our internal policies?
You need Legal Communication. Sometimes the legal document is correct, but the delivery fails. We create communication strategies, videos, interactive infographics, and visual guides to ensure legal information is communicated effectively, fostering a real culture of compliance.
