Features
Everything you need to work with laws and contracts, in one place: answers with exact citations, contract review, drafting and all the legal information — every statement tied to its source.
The database is updated every night from Riigi Teataja and other official sources.
Be the first to know how the courts apply your provision
Follow a provision — such as VÕS § 101 or TLS § 88 — and get an e-mail about every new decision applying it: all courts, the Public Procurement Review Committee, the Industrial Property Board of Appeal and the Chancellor of Justice.
- ✓Every new decision is checked each night
- ✓One e-mail, links straight to the decisions
- ✓All your provisions and their latest case law on one page
Ask the Law
An answer where every sentence is tied to a provision
Ask in English, Estonian or Russian. The answer rests on the law in force and names the provision down to the subsection and point; click a reference to see its wording.
- ✓Exact citations: “TLS § 86 lg 1”, not just the name of a law
- ✓Every answer is checked against its sources before you see it
- ✓The law as of a chosen date — when the question is about the past
- ✓Explanatory memoranda and Supreme Court case law beside the sources
Document review
The contract reviewed — comments right in Word
Upload a contract or another document. You get a report on the risky terms and their legal basis, and a Word file with the comments placed at the clauses concerned.
- ✓For each problem: the provision it breaches and a suggested wording
- ✓The provisions the document cites are checked: in force, repealed or no such subsection
- ✓PDF, Word, DigiDoc containers and scanned documents, up to 10 annexes
- ✓The document is deleted after 30 days, the report stays with you
LegalWise in Word
Checked right in Word — no copying the document
The add-in opens LegalWise in a side pane in Word. The contract review puts its findings as comments right at the clauses concerned; the citation check shows for every reference whether the provision is in force.
- ✓Contract review: a comment at the clause — which provision and a lawful wording
- ✓Citation check: in force, repealed or no such subsection — without uploading the document
- ✓Insert a provision with its official citation, and ask questions from the pane
- ✓Word on the web, Word 2021 and Microsoft 365; your IT can install it for everyone at once
Drafting
A draft document under the law in force
Choose the type of document, enter the parties and main terms — you get the document in Estonian and an explanation of the provisions its terms rest on.
- ✓29 types: employment, lease and service contracts, powers of attorney, resolutions, demand letters, statements of claim …
- ✓A wish the law does not allow is replaced by a lawful variant, with the reason
- ✓A checklist before download: missing details and warnings
- ✓Word and PDF with page numbers
Legal research
A memo from your question and facts
Describe the facts and the question. LegalWise splits it into legal issues and writes a memo in a fixed structure: rule, quotation, application, conclusion.
- ✓3–6 legal issues, each with its own sources
- ✓Quotations are verbatim from the provisions
- ✓Conclusions and recommendations at the end
Legal search
Every legal source in one search
Laws, regulations, EU law, decisions of all courts, Supreme Court summaries, the Public Procurement Review Committee, the Industrial Property Board of Appeal, the Chancellor of Justice and explanatory memoranda — in one query.
- ✓Citation search: “VÕS § 42 lg 3 p 5” finds the decisions applying exactly that point
- ✓The latest decisions at once: date, case number, type of case
- ✓Only the court's position — without the facts and the parties' arguments

Template monitoring
Upload your firm's standard contracts: when a provision a clause relies on changes, is about to change or is repealed, you get an e-mail — “Employment contract, cl. 7.1 → TLS § 24 changes”.
Deadlines as dates
When an answer names a period (“within 30 days”), you see its last day at once under TsÜS § 135–136; change the start date and add the deadline to your calendar.
Team and notes
Notes on provisions, private or shared with your team; marked when a provision you noted has changed.
Calculators
Deadlines under TsÜS with public holidays, and court fees under the RLS annex.
Local government law
Regulations of towns and municipalities, such as public order rules — for the municipality your question names.
Calendar of law changes
What recently entered into force and what will soon, by day and law.
Three languages
Ask in English, Estonian or Russian; the legal basis stays exact, in Estonian.
Guides and news
Explanations of common legal questions and news on important changes — with citations.
Why people trust LegalWise
Checked against the sources
Quotations must be verbatim in the sources, amounts and deadlines must follow from a provision. What fails the check does not stay in the answer.
Down to the point
A citation to the subsection and point, linked to the wording — checking takes a second.
Only the law in force
Repealed wordings never enter an answer. For questions about the past, the wording in force on the chosen date is used.
Your data stays yours
Questions and documents are never used to train models or for advertising; your history can be downloaded and deleted.
