Every clause says what backs it
Paraliga drafts contracts and deeds for law firms and in-house teams from a library of law that lawyers have checked. Each clause says what it rests on: a section of the law, a lawyer's approval, or that it still needs checking. You review on the page, together, before anything leaves the firm.
Drafting opens place by place, as lawyers finish checking the law for it.

5.Registration. The Assignee shall register this Deed at the Lands Registry within sixty days after the Governor’s consent is obtained.
What backs a clause
Every clause in a draft carries one of three labels. The square beside it is the same mark as the full stop in our name, and it never appears without its words.
- Backed by law
- Rests on a section in the library, quoted word for word, as it stood on the date of the draft.
- Lawyer approved
- Standard wording a lawyer approved for this kind of document and this place.
- AI, not yet checked
- Written by AI. The draft cannot be approved until a lawyer has checked it.
Read an example draft
Three drafts as a lawyer would receive them. The margin says what backs each clause; press one to read its source.
These are examples. The deed's law is in the library today; the tenancy and employment laws they cite are not yet.
Registration rests on s. 26(1) of the Lagos State Lands Registration Law, which is in the library. Vacant possession came from the brief and nothing in the library covers it, so it waits for a lawyer.
Press a clause to see what backs it.
What backs clause 5: Lagos State Lands Registration Law 2015, s. 26(1)
“...register it within sixty (60) days after obtaining the Governor’s consent.”
In the library, checked by a lawyer, and in force on the draft's date.
- Backed by law: 1 clause
- Lawyer approved: 1 clause
- AI, not yet checked: 1 clause
Draft together, approve by name
Share a draft with the lawyers working on the matter. They comment on a clause and suggest new wording, and you accept or decline it. When it is ready, you send it to a colleague whose role lets them approve, and they approve it under their own name.
- Nothing unchecked leaves. A draft with a clause still marked AI, not yet checked cannot be approved.
- Open questions hold it. A draft is approved only once every comment on it is resolved.
- Every step is kept. Who drafted, checked, changed and approved each clause, and when.
6. Vacant possession. The Assignor shall give vacant possession of the property to the Assignee on the date of completion the day the Governor’s consent is given.

Possession on completion is risky if consent is slow. Can we tie it to the consent?Bright Olawale 12:40
Agreed. I accepted your wording and resolved this.
Ask the law, and see the words it rests on
Research answers from the sections in the library, as they stood on the date you ask about, and quotes them beside the answer. When it holds no source for the question, or no checked law for that date or place, it says so instead of guessing.
Research never writes or changes the words of the law. Its answers are labelled AI, not yet checked, until a lawyer relies on them.
How long does my client have to register a deed of assignment in Lagos once the Governor’s consent is given?
AI, not yet checked
Sixty days. The Lagos State Lands Registration Law requires whoever holds a registrable document to register it within sixty days after obtaining the Governor’s consent.1
Any holder in possession of any registrable document shall register it within sixty (60) days after obtaining the Governor’s consent where applicable.

How a law reaches a draft
- 1.
We read the law as printed
Gazettes and official copies go in as they are, page by page, scans included.
- 2.
It is cut into its sections
Each section keeps its exact words and the pages it came from. Anything unsure goes to a person.
- 3.
Lawyers check it
A lawyer confirms the law's details and its words before it joins the library.
- 4.
Drafts cite it
A clause that rests on the law names the section, as it stood on the date of the draft.
Where the library stands today
Law is added place by place, and a place opens for drafting when its law is checked. Nigeria is the first country we cover.
Laws checked as of 22 October 2026. More are being checked in each place.
| Place | Laws checked | Drafting |
|---|---|---|
| Nigeria, federal law | 8 | Planned |
| Lagos State | 1 | Planned |
| Kano State | 0 | Planned |
