Stop signing contracts
you haven't really read
Vern reads every clause, flags what's dangerous, and tells you what to push back on - in minutes. No legal background needed.
Vern is a contract review tool, not a legal service. It does not provide legal advice.
You're not a lawyer. You
shouldn't have to be.
Vern gives non-legal teams the confidence to review contracts without the cost or wait of external counsel.
Operations & procurement
You sign supplier contracts every week. Some are fine. Some have unlimited liability buried in clause 14. You don't have time to read every one - and you can't afford not to.
In-house legal & compliance
Your team is stretched. Low-value contracts pile up while you focus on the big deals. Vern triages the backlog so you only spend time on what genuinely needs a lawyer's eye.
Procurement & ops teams
You manage vendor contracts, NDAs, and service agreements. You know what "good" looks like - you just need a second pair of eyes that doesn't charge £350 an hour.

before signing up
No. Vern is a contract review tool that flags clauses which deviate from your configured risk positions. It does not provide legal advice, and its outputs should not be treated as a substitute for qualified legal counsel. We recommend consulting a qualified solicitor for any legal decisions relating to your contracts. Think of Vern as a first-pass filter that tells you which contracts need a lawyer and which don't.
Vern analyses contracts against the specific risk positions you configure. It catches what your playbook tells it to catch - every time, consistently. It won't miss a clause because it's tired on a Friday afternoon. That said, for high-value or complex deals, we always recommend a legal review alongside.
