Prepare a contract brief and question list for your solicitor instead of drafting the contract yourself

The problem

The 2026 ProCopywriters survey says it asked copywriters about written contracts this year, and the trade body's own site lists a guide on contracts and terms, so having terms in writing is treated as part of the job. The costly bit is the first meeting with a solicitor, when you cannot remember how you actually work. AI can turn your own description of your projects, clients and habits into a one-page brief and a list of questions for the solicitor. It does not draft the contract and cannot say who owns copyright, whether a clause is fair or whether you are inside IR35: your solicitor and accountant do that.

What AI does

AI turns your plain description of how you work, and your own questions, into a one-page brief and question list for a solicitor. It drafts no contract or clause and says nothing about the law; the solicitor advises.

Time

The steps, in short

1. Set out, simply, how your projects really run.
2. Write the questions you want the solicitor to answer, plus any for your accountant.
3. Have AI arrange them into a brief and a question list, with no client names.
4. Remove any statement about the law, then send it to your solicitor with your current terms.
