Legal counsel that keeps up with how you build.
Mandate Law is the law practice of Allen Gibby, a lawyer admitted in the District of Columbia. It exists to help teams building AI products, agents, and consumer apps move faster while still getting the legal counsel they need.
Why it works this way
Legal review shouldn't be the slowest step in shipping.
Most legal advice about software still moves at the pace of email. A founder describes the product from memory, a lawyer writes a memo, and someone translates the memo into code. Every handoff loses detail and adds days, so teams end up choosing between waiting for counsel and shipping without it.
That shouldn't be the choice. When AI agents write much of the code, the agent already knows what the product does. It can answer a lawyer's questions with file paths and evidence in minutes, then build and test the answer the same day.
Mandate Law is built around that. Your agent engages counsel through an API and an MCP server, answers questions straight from the codebase, and gets back final documents plus a build spec and a test checklist it can act on right away. Legal review runs alongside the build instead of holding it up.
What gets faster
- Facts come straight from the codeNo discovery calls or reconstructing the product from memory. Your agent answers with evidence.
- Advice arrives ready to buildA build spec your agent can implement and a checklist it can test against, not a memo to interpret.
- Questions get answered while you workYour agent can check a change as it's being built, so nothing ships and then has to be unwound.
- No back-and-forth to get startedFixed fees and defined scope your agent can quote on the spot.
What stays the same
- A lawyer's judgment and responsibilityEvery piece of advice is a licensed lawyer's, not a model's.
- A human signs the engagementAn agent can't hire counsel or agree to terms on anyone's behalf.
- Conflicts are checked firstBefore any product details are shared.
- Confidentiality and privilegeBuilt into how the system stores and returns your matter.
Who you're working with
One lawyer, accountable for every piece of advice.
