Legaltech firm claims world’s first real estate robo-lawyer
An American technology firm says that its artificial intelligence software is the world’s first robo-lawyer for real estate investing.
Bootstrap Legal’s software automates the legal paperwork for those raising capital for real estate projects of up to U$2 million, allowing real estate investors to draft their own documents using artificial intelligence.
The service can deliver documents to a customer’s email in 48 hours once a series of questions have been answered. The documents are attorney-grade and attorney-reviewed before delivery. Those who require additional help can be connected to a lawyer for individual advice.
Founder Amy Wan says that the software both undercuts the legal fees associated with real estate capital raises and expedites the process.
