AI is amazing. But when it comes to legal protection, “amazing” doesn’t always mean “accurate.” Just ask Anthropic. A few weeks ago, one of Anthropic’s own lawyers had to apologize in court after their AI tool, Claude, generated a completely fake legal citation... and the attorney used it. The judge caught it. The citation? A hallucination. Totally made up. [Read the story here.] We don’t share this to pile on. We’re sharing it because it proves something we’ve been saying since day one: AI can be a powerful tool but it’s not a replacement for a real contract, written by a real attorney. And definitely not something you should blindly trust to protect your business. Wait... doesn’t the Creative Law Foundry™ use AI? Yep, we sure do. But here’s the difference: 🔹 AI doesn’t write your contract. Every word of every contract in the Creative Law Foundry™ was written by attorney Paige Hulse, who has stood before a judge defending these contracts. That’s not something any AI model (or ChatGPT prompt) can promise. 🔹Our Contract Builder = lawyer-drafted language, smart customization. It’s a guided tool that walks you through attorney-drafted templates with over 400+ legal triggers — so your contract reflects your business, with none of the generic fluff or legal guesswork. 🔹AskLex = your legal guide, not your writer. AskLex is our AI-powered legal assistant that helps you understand legal terms, answer quick contract questions, and navigate the law in plain English. It’s like having a translator in your back pocket. But let's be clear, AskLex is not writing your contract template. We’re on a mission to provide legally-sound resources without the hourly rate. The Creative Law Foundry™ is ushering in a new era of what a 'template shop' is. A place where you don’t just download a fill-in-the-blank contract and hope you filled it out right. Instead, you start with attorney-drafted language, customize it before it’s drafted, and use our built-in legal assistant to actually understand what you’re sending. Because legal confidence shouldn’t require a law degree. And it definitely shouldn’t come from a generic Google search or chatbot. If you’re building a business that’s meant to last, you deserve contracts that were built to do the same. Until next time, Teresa COO, The Creative Law Shop P.S. Have questions about how the Creative Law Foundry works or which contract template is right for you? Hit reply! We're happy to help. |
Contract templates for creative entrepreneurs, wedding pros, designers, and more. Legally-sound resources drafted & developed by a practicing attorney—without the hourly rate.

Let’s talk about the old way of buying a contract template. You buy the contract template. You open the Word or Google Doc. You scan through and try to figure out what each section means. You replace the highlighted parts (hopefully). And then… You cross your fingers and hope you didn’t miss anything important. And if you're a super savvy business owner, you have your attorney review it for good measure. Honestly? That’s how we operated for years. Because it is better than having nothing,...
