Startup legal work handled by elite lawyers & same-day turnaround

Arcline provides AI-native legal services for startups, with same-day turnaround & elite lawyers in the loop. Our AI does 80% of the work, so startups pay elite lawyers only for the final 20%. Arcline’s founder Pamir, ex-outside counsel to OpenAI, saw the same issues on repeat when lawyers were serving startups: simple legal work took weeks, pricing was opaque, and lawyers kept starting from scratch instead of using AI. We’ve built a bench of top-tier startup lawyers to change that - folks from top schools (Harvard, Stanford, Oxford) and leading firms (Cooley, Goodwin, Fenwick). Arcline’s lawyers start with first drafts generated with AI, and then do final revisions. This ends up reducing the work by up to 80% - so startups pay elite lawyers only for the final 20%. More importantly, your legal matters can often be handled same-day. No other law firm today offers this kind of speed. We’ve scaled to helping several Y-companies and 50+ venture-backed startups across the US and Nordics. Discover Arcline: arcline-ai.com

🤯 The Problem

I’m a former outside counsel to OpenAI and even there – at a company with more money than most – I couldn’t believe how broken the legal experience was:

  • Slow - I often saw even simple cases get held up for weeks in legal
  • Opaque billing - companies never knew what something would cost until they got a giant bill a month later
  • Not-AI native - most lawyers would start each project from scratch, instead of taking advantage of AI

🤖+👩🏻‍⚖️= The Solution

Arcline is a new way of handling your legal work, one that merges top-tier lawyers with the power of AI.

We’ve built a bench of top-tier startup lawyers - folks from top schools (Harvard, Stanford, Oxford) and leading firms (Cooley, Goodwin, Fenwick).

Our lawyers start with first drafts generated with AI, and then do final revisions, which ends up reducing the work by 80%. This means you pay less, but more importantly, your legal matters can often be handled same-day.

No other law firm today offers this kind of speed.

🧐 Why should you trust us?

We’re founders serving other founders. In the past few months, we’ve helped 50+ venture-backed startups across the US and Europe.

Building a startup is hard, and hearing how we’re simplifying legal work for other founders has been the highlight of our journey:

Arcline delivered our MSA the same day for $750. They move at startup speed, understand our business, and keep costs founder-friendly

- Chetan, YC-backed founder at Rhizome AI

Arcline delivered fast, actionable guidance on a complex corporate issue - exactly what I want from lawyers in the AI era

- Perry, YC-backed founder at Arylla

Arcline lets us move fast without breaking things or worrying about legal risk

- Saksham, YC-backed founder at Cardboard

Arcline delivered everything we needed to launch our product at a fraction of the costs from a BigLaw firm. They also uncovered mistakes in past legal work we’d received from other law firms.

- Cathrine, founder at Nordic Brain Tech

👩🏻‍💻 How does it work?

1. Forward to Arcline: A contract lands in your inbox full of redlines. Or you need something drafted from scratch. No matter what it is, forward it to Arcline here, with a description on what you’re trying to get done.

2. Upfront flat fee: Before our lawyers start working, you’ll know exactly what it costs. No surprise bills, no opaque “we’ll see how long it takes”-disclaimers.

3. AI does the first 80%: Our AI drafts the first pass, pulls relevant templates, playbooks, precedent data, industry data, your attachments and customer data.

4. A top startup lawyer reviews 20%: An elite startup lawyer reviews, revises, answers your questions and applies judgment to your situation. This is the part you’re paying for.

5. Same-day turnaround: Because the heavy lift is already done, we can often turn work same-day.

Slack-integration: We can also plug into Slack and operate like your fractional general counsel - on call whenever you need us.
