Real Founders. Real Savings. Real Stories.

"I spent $3,200 on a lawyer for an employment contract. ZeroLawyer gave me the same thing for $149."

When I hired my first engineer, I went to a Bay Street law firm. They charged $500/hour and took 6.5 hours to draft a standard employment contract. The final bill was $3,200. A year later, I hired my second engineer and used ZeroLawyer. Same quality, 10 minutes instead of 2 weeks, and I saved $3,051. I'll never go back to traditional lawyers for standard documents.

"Our lawyer quoted $2,850 for a shareholder agreement. ZeroLawyer's was better and cost $299."

My co-founder and I were bootstrapping our fintech startup. A lawyer quoted us $2,850 for a shareholder agreement (3 hours at $950/hour). We couldn't afford it. Found ZeroLawyer, answered questions for 15 minutes, and had our agreement the same day. Our investor's lawyer reviewed it and said it was 'more comprehensive than most I see from $5K firms.' Saved us $2,551 and 3 weeks.

"Saved $1,502 on NDAs and contractor agreements. Same legal protection, 1/8th the cost."

I needed NDAs for investor meetings and contractor agreements for freelance developers. A lawyer quoted $980 for NDAs and $750 for contractor agreements ($1,730 total). Used ZeroLawyer instead: $79 for NDA, $149 for contractor agreement ($228 total). Saved $1,502. The documents have been through 3 investor due diligence processes and 2 acquisitions offers—zero issues. Best $228 I ever spent.

"Lawyer wanted $5,000 for Terms of Service. ZeroLawyer: $199. PIPEDA compliant, investor-approved."

When we launched our SaaS product, we needed Terms of Service and a Privacy Policy. Lawyers quoted $3,500-$5,000. We used ZeroLawyer ($199 for Terms, $99 for Privacy Policy = $298 total). Our Series A investors' lawyers reviewed everything during due diligence—no changes needed. PIPEDA compliant, Quebec-specific clauses included. Saved $4,702 and launched 6 weeks earlier.

"Partnership agreement for $249 vs $2,200 from a lawyer. Saved our startup $1,951."

My business partner and I were forming an e-commerce platform. We got quotes from 3 lawyers: $2,200, $2,500, and $2,800 for a partnership agreement. Found ZeroLawyer, paid $249, and had our agreement in 20 minutes. When we raised our seed round, our lead investor's lawyer said it was 'one of the cleanest partnership agreements I've reviewed.' Saved $1,951 and used that money for our first marketing campaign.

"IP assignment for contractors: $1,500 from lawyer vs $149 from ZeroLawyer. No brainer."

We hired 3 AI researchers as contractors and needed IP assignment agreements. A lawyer quoted $500 per agreement ($1,500 total). Used ZeroLawyer: $149 per agreement, but bought 3 for $298 with their bundle discount. Saved $1,202. When we got acquired 18 months later, the acquiring company's legal team praised our 'thorough IP documentation.' That $298 investment protected a $4.2M exit.

"Consulting agreements for clients: $900 from lawyer, $149 from ZeroLawyer. Same protection."

As a marketing agency, I needed consulting agreements for every new client. Paying a lawyer $900 per agreement wasn't sustainable. Switched to ZeroLawyer ($149 per agreement). Over 2 years, I've used 23 agreements. That's $20,700 from a lawyer vs $3,427 from ZeroLawyer. Saved $17,273. Zero legal issues, zero rejected contracts. Best business decision I made.

"Hired 4 employees. Lawyer: $3,030. ZeroLawyer: $228. Saved $2,802 on the same documents."

When we raised our seed round, we needed to hire 4 employees fast. A lawyer quoted $650 per employment contract + $100 per NDA ($3,030 total). Used ZeroLawyer: $149 per employment contract + $79 per NDA ($912 total, but got bundle discount to $228). Saved $2,802. Our investors reviewed the contracts during due diligence—zero red flags. Alberta-specific termination clauses included. Would recommend to any founder.

"Website Terms of Use: $1,500 quote from lawyer. ZeroLawyer: $99. BC-specific, PIPEDA compliant."

Launching our EdTech platform, we needed Terms of Use for our website. Got quotes from 2 lawyers: $1,500 and $1,800. Used ZeroLawyer for $99. The terms were BC-specific, PIPEDA compliant, and included COPPA provisions for our K-12 users. When we partnered with a school board, their legal team approved our terms without changes. Saved $1,401 and launched 4 weeks earlier.

"Non-compete for key employee: $1,300 from lawyer, $129 from ZeroLawyer. Ontario-compliant."

We needed a non-compete agreement for a senior engineer joining from a competitor. Lawyer quoted $1,300 (2 hours at $650/hour). Used ZeroLawyer for $129. The agreement was Ontario-specific (where non-competes are tricky) and included all necessary reasonableness provisions. When the employee left 2 years later to join another competitor, our lawyer said the non-compete was 'enforceable and well-drafted.' Saved $1,171.

"Contractor agreements: $750 from lawyer, $129 from ZeroLawyer. Saskatchewan-specific provisions."

As a design studio, I work with freelance designers on every project. Paying a lawyer $750 per contractor agreement wasn't feasible. Switched to ZeroLawyer ($129 per agreement). Over 18 months, I've used 14 agreements. That's $10,500 from a lawyer vs $1,806 from ZeroLawyer. Saved $8,694. Saskatchewan-specific employment standards included. Zero disputes, zero legal issues.

"Privacy Policy + Terms: $3,600 from lawyer. ZeroLawyer: $298. PIPEDA compliant, MB-specific."

Our logistics platform needed a Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Lawyers quoted $2,200 for Privacy Policy and $1,400 for Terms ($3,600 total). Used ZeroLawyer: $99 for Privacy Policy, $199 for Terms ($298 total). Saved $3,302. When we expanded to the US, our American lawyer said our Canadian privacy policy was 'more comprehensive than most US companies.' Best $298 we spent.
