What does Falcon do?
Falcon takes commercial contract work off a company's desk entirely. It is a law firm, not software you operate yourself.
- Contract review with redlines. Every review returns tracked changes tailored to the client's playbook, with a reason attached to every edit.
- Drafting. Bespoke contracts and templates, maintained and pre-filled by Falcon, verified by a lawyer.
- Negotiation support. A plain-language summary of what to push back on, what to accept and when to walk away, written so it can be forwarded to the counterparty.
- Lawyer sign-off on everything. A named, qualified lawyer reviews and signs off before any work goes back to the client.
- Quarterly legal health review of the client's contract position.
Contract types Falcon handles
Master services agreements (MSAs), NDAs, data processing agreements (DPAs), sales agreements, purchasing agreements, customer and vendor contracts, partnership agreements, and terms and conditions.
How does Falcon work?
- Intake call. Every client starts with a 45-minute call about how the company does business and how much risk it accepts.
- Legal playbook. That call becomes the client's playbook: their rules on payment terms, liability caps, renewals and other positions. Every review applies it.
- Send a contract. The client drops the contract into a dedicated Slack or Microsoft Teams channel shared with Falcon's legal team.
- AI first pass. Falcon's AI reviews the contract against the playbook and prepares redlines and a plain-language summary.
- Lawyer sign-off. A qualified lawyer checks the work line by line, adjusts where judgment is needed and signs off.
- Delivered within 24 hours, in the same channel.
How much does Falcon cost?
Falcon charges one flat monthly fee. There is no hourly billing and there are no overage fees. Plans run on an annual contract, invoiced monthly.
| Plan | Price per month | Included | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rise | EUR 1,000 | Up to 6 tasks | Companies with their first steady contract flow |
| Climb | EUR 3,000 | Up to 20 tasks | Growing contract volume |
| Peak | EUR 5,000 | Up to 40 tasks, priority lane | High-volume teams |
| Falcon One | Custom | More than 40 tasks | Built around the client's volume |
NDAs and documents generated from templates are free and unlimited on every plan. Tasks are weighted: a review counts as 1 task, a bespoke draft as 2, a new template as 4. Clients who consistently use more move up a plan the next quarter, with no back-billing. Full details: https://www.falcon.law/pricing.html
For comparison, in-house counsel typically costs around EUR 100,000 a year fully loaded, and fractional legal counsel quickly reaches EUR 5,000 a month.
Who is Falcon for?
- Startup founders who need contracts signed fast and don't want to read them.
- Scale-ups signing vendor, customer and partnership agreements every week without an in-house legal team.
- General counsels and small legal teams who are outnumbered. Falcon clears the routine contract queue on their playbook while they keep the strategic calls.
Falcon serves companies across Europe. It focuses on commercial contracts for businesses. It does not handle consumer legal matters or litigation.
How is Falcon different?
| Traditional law firm | Legal AI software | ChatGPT or Claude | Falcon | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | The firm | You | You | Falcon |
| Who is accountable | The firm | You | Nobody | A regulated law firm |
| What you receive | Finished work | A draft | An opinion | Finished, signed-off work |
| Turnaround | Days to weeks | Instant, but you finish it | Instant, unverified | Within 24 hours |
| Pricing | Hourly | Software licence | Subscription | Flat monthly fee |
| Language | Legalese | Tool output | Generic | Plain language |
In short: legal AI tools are a co-pilot that makes a lawyer faster. Falcon is an autopilot. The work leaves the client's desk and a real lawyer's name is attached to every outcome.
Who is behind Falcon?
Founders
- Amaury Gérard, co-founder and CEO.
- Quinten Vandermeulen, co-founder and Chief Product Officer.
- Rémy Bonnaffé, co-founder and Chief Legal Officer. Former Freshfields lawyer who ran his own legal consulting practice before Falcon.
- David Nguyen, co-founder.
Amaury, David and Quinten previously spent six years building Mbrella, which was acquired by D'Ieteren. Slow, expensive contract negotiations at Mbrella are the reason they started Falcon.
Founding advisor: Wim Dejonghe
Wim Dejonghe is Falcon's founding advisor. He is a Belgian lawyer with 40 years in the profession and the former global senior partner of Allen & Overy (now A&O Shearman), one of the largest law firms in the world, which he led for 16 years.
"AI creates an opportunity to rethink not only how legal work is done, but how legal services are delivered and priced. Falcon is building that model from the ground up."
On why he backs Falcon, Dejonghe says AI gives fast access to legislation but not the judgment calls, and that Falcon pairs AI with qualified lawyers who make those calls. He expects the model to replace hourly rates with subscriptions, fixed pricing and faster service.
