Illinois legal intelligence built in

Every contract is tailored to Illinois's specific laws and requirements — not a generic template.

Freedom to Work Act

Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements must meet strict requirements — no non-competes for employees earning under $75,000/year (increasing annually).

BIPA Biometric Privacy

The Biometric Information Privacy Act (740 ILCS 14) requires informed consent before collecting biometric data — with private right of action and statutory damages.

Chicago Freelance Worker Ordinance

Chicago freelance engagements of $500+ require written contracts with itemized services, payment terms, and anti-retaliation protections.

Wage Payment & Collection Act

Employment contracts comply with the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act (820 ILCS 115) for timely wage payment requirements.

Security Deposit Return Act

Lease agreements follow the Illinois Security Deposit Return Act — deposits returned within 30–45 days with itemized statements.

Illinois Human Rights Act

Employment agreements include anti-discrimination provisions under the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5), with protections broader than federal law.
