Legal Mode · Pro
You've read the same sentence four times.
It's late, the clause is nearly right, and you have stopped being able to see it. In a large firm somebody else reads it before it goes. Here, you are the somebody else.
Where it works
Highlight the sentence, pick Legal on the dial, and it comes back in place.
We would strongly suggest your client reconsiders their position before we are forced to take this further
Works in the page you’re already writing in, so the rewrite lands where you need it, without copying and pasting. Included with Pro.
Rough in. Ready to send. Nothing you’d answer for changed.
Every rewrite is checked before you see it. If a figure moved or a qualifier changed, it’s rewritten again, so the version that slipped never reaches you. Pick one and run it. Faint marks are what was rewritten; the solid mark is what had to survive.
Your notes in. The letter out.
As written
Letter to opp counsel: no response to our 14 Mar letter - looks deliberate, a delay tactic. Strongly suggest their client reconsiders before we escalate. We will escalate if needed.

Why general writing tools are the wrong instrument
Every writing assistant is built to improve prose, and improvement almost always means shorter, plainer, more confident. Those are the right instincts for an email and precisely the wrong ones for a document that exists to survive being read adversarially.
A carve-out looks like a qualifier bolted onto a sentence. A defined term looks like an inconsistent capital. A hedge looks like a writer who has not committed. To a tool that has never seen a contract litigated, all three are noise — and removing noise is what it was built to do.
Legal mode is built the other way round: around the parts it is not allowed to touch. It will tighten your sentence. It will not quietly change what you agreed to.
What it will not do
- Move a carve-out
- Exclusions, exceptions and conditions survive word for word. They are the clause, not decoration on it.
- Harden a hedge
- "May be arguable" does not become "is arguable" because the shorter version reads better.
- Merge testimony with conclusion
- In a deposition summary, what a witness said stays separate from what you concluded from it.
- Redefine a defined term
- If you capitalised it and defined it in clause 1, it survives everywhere else exactly as written.
- Give legal advice
- It rewrites what you wrote. It has no view on whether you should have written it.
Don't take any of this on trust
Paste in a clause you have already signed off — ideally one with an exception in it. If anything moves that shouldn't have, you will know in thirty seconds, and you will not have had to take our word for a single sentence on this page.
