How to check a document's legal compliance

What it is

"Check legal compliance" is an action in Dikaio.ai that compares a document with the legal framework in force. You upload, for example, an agreement or a set of internal regulations, and the legal assistant looks up the provisions that apply and points out items that need attention.

Why it helps

You can spot possible gaps or conflicts before you sign or send a document, rather than after a dispute arises. Answers come with the legal sources they rely on, so you can verify them.

The check is a first pass that supports your own judgment; it does not replace it. The analysis can take a little time because the assistant researches the relevant sources.

How to get started

1. 1

   Select the action

   Click the arrow next to the «New conversation» button and select «Check legal compliance». On the start screen the button under the message box is titled «Legislative Compliance Check». If you cannot see it, your organisation may have turned file uploads off.

2. 2

   Attach the document

   In the «Legislative Compliance Check» window, drag your file in or choose it from your computer, click «Upload 1 file» and wait for processing to finish; the window closes by itself.

3. 3

   Review the sources and the message

   If you had not chosen any sources, «Greek legislation» is selected for you. The message box already contains "Check the legal compliance of the attached document". You can add to it, such as the type of document or the issue that worries you.

4. 4

   Send the message

   Click «Send Message» and wait for the reply.

5. 5

   Dig deeper

   Ask follow-up questions in the same conversation about each point raised, and open the citations to read them.

Tips

• Give context: your role in the contract and what concerns you.
• Always check the citations in the sources before relying on a conclusion.
• Usage may consume credits depending on the size of the document.
