Questions people ask

Is this a real contract or a form to fill in?

A complete document. You answer questions in plain English and Scorpia drafts every clause to match your answers, then a second review pass checks it before you see it. Nothing is left as a blank to fill in unless you chose to leave it for later.

Which law does it follow?

The law of England and Wales by default; Scotland and Northern Ireland are available where the document type exists there. The drafting notes behind each template are kept current with UK law.

What does it cost?

Your first document is a free preview: you read the opening section before paying anything. Unlock the full document for £9, or take a plan from £15 a month if you need several. No subscription is needed for a single document.

Can I edit, sign and send it?

Yes. Once unlocked, you edit every word online, add your logo, sign on the page and send the other party a private signing link, or export to Word and PDF.

Is Scorpia a law firm?

No. Scorpia is software that drafts and checks documents. It is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. For a dispute, a company sale or anything unusual, use a solicitor.
