The Problem
A SaaS MSA arrives drafted under Delaware law with US-style limitation-of-liability caps, indemnification cascades, and forum-selection clauses. Half of it is enforceable in RD; half collides with the Código Civil. Standard review either misses the collision points or rejects the whole agreement. Both outcomes lose deals.
The Solution
Lawra SaaS / MSA Review applies both lenses simultaneously: Anglo SaaS best practices and DR civil-law mandatory provisions (Código Civil Arts. 1101–1369, Ley 153-98, Ley 172-13 LOPDP, INDOTEL Resolución 071-19). Flags the 6 standard collision points (LoL cap vs. dolo/culpa-grave, indemnification vs. responsabilidad contractual, auto-renewal vs. Pro Consumidor, AS-IS vs. vicios redhibitorios, exclusive-remedies vs. statutory remedies, foreign-forum vs. RD-CAFTA). Outputs ready-to-paste redlines.
Key Features
Dual-lens analysis — every clause reviewed under common-law AND civil-law in parallel, with collision-point detection.
DPA addendum focus — GDPR Art. 28 + LGPD + Ley 172-13 + INDOTEL data-residency for telecom-flowing SaaS.
Renewal-trap detector — auto-renewal + price-escalation + termination-window-too-short patterns surfaced separately.
4 review depths × 4 output formats — quick scan, full review, DPA-focused, or renewal-focused; output in ES, EN, bilingual, or compact redlines.
Use Cases
In-house counsel reviewing a Salesforce contract for a Dominican subsidiary — caught the auto-renewal trap and the unwaivable-by-RD-law LoL cap.
M&A counsel on a tech acquisition reviewing 40 vendor MSAs for the target — full diligence pass in 6 hours instead of 2 weeks.
BPO operator entering a new contract with a US client — used the bilingual output to negotiate with both sides reading their native conventions.
Best For
In-house counsel at multinationals, commercial-tech transactional lawyers, M&A diligence teams, BPO operators.
