About "LAWGUE"
What is LAWGUE?
LAWGUE (pronounced "rogue") is a cloud service for drafting, reviewing, and managing contracts and internal regulations that connects with generative AI. It is provided by FRAIM Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; founded April 2018), whose business is "research, development, and provision of AI services that support document work."
LAWGUE offers the following products for different types of work.
- LAWGUE (contracts): Brings contract work together, from request intake through review, signing, and knowledge building. Includes case management, AI-assisted review, similar contract search, and diff comparison
- LAWGUE規程管理 (LAWGUE Regulation Management, for internal regulations): Simply import Word regulations and it automatically builds the cross-references between them, helping you identify the impact of revisions and create old-new comparison tables
- D1-LAWGUE (for local governments): A document drafting and review service for municipalities that also works on LGWAN (Japan's Local Government Wide Area Network)
What LAWGUE now puts front and center is MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration. By registering LAWGUE's MCP server with the generative AI your company already uses, such as Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, you can search your own contracts, case history, and regulations from the AI's screen and use them for review and edits. Even companies that have not adopted generative AI can use the features from case management through review and signing directly in LAWGUE's own interface.
Underneath are patented technologies developed by FRAIM. According to the company's website, "FRAIM Paragraph Suggest," a search and suggestion engine that automatically suggests similar paragraphs and expressions as well as missing paragraphs, and "FRAIM Rich Editor," an online editor that automatically corrects indentation and numbering and detects inconsistent wording, are used as LAWGUE's core technologies.
How to use
- Contact the company or request a demo Request materials or get in touch through the official site. If you wish, you can get a demo walking through the actual interface.
- Receive a quote and apply A quote is provided based on your intended use, number of users, and budget. Requests for cloud service security checks are also accepted. A short-term trial plan is available, and you can start using it the day after signing.
- Import past contracts and regulations When you register past contracts, the contract type and parties are automatically identified and organized for search and AI review. In LAWGUE規程管理, importing Word regulations as-is automatically builds the cross-references.
- Receive cases and review them Business units submit requests by email or form and communicate with legal in LAWGUE. Legal reviews contracts using AI-assisted review, similar contract search, and diff comparison, and proceeds to signing through the CloudSign integration.
- Use it from your usual generative AI too Once the MCP server is registered with your company's generative AI, you can look up case status, negotiation history, and what your company has accepted or rejected in the past, based on your own contracts and regulations, right from the AI's screen. After rollout, a dedicated customer success representative follows up regularly.

03Generative AI integration (MCP)

How it differs from other AI tools
| Service | Type | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| LAWGUE | Drafting, review, and management of contracts and internal regulations (MCP integration) | Drawing on your company's contract and regulation history from your in-house generative AI |
| LegalForce | AI contract review | Checking pre-signing contracts for risks and missing clauses with AI |
| OLGA | Legal OS from contract review to case management | Streamlining contract review, contract management, and case management together |
| MNTSQ | Contract lifecycle management (CLM) for large enterprises | Unifying company-wide contract work from request intake to post-signing management |
