Draft legal documents from NZ law firm templates
Adapt a supported law firm template to your situation through an iterative AI workflow powered by detailed drafting guidance and know-how.
Legal document drafting
The short answer
Pīwakawaka gives you a law firm starting point, collects the context a useful draft needs and helps you turn that into a document you can use or forward for legal advice.

Start with the template and the know-how.
Drafting is not a blank chat prompt. The workflow combines a supported law firm template with structured inputs and document-specific guidance.
A law firm starting point
Begin with a NZ law firm template for a currently supported document type rather than asking a general AI model to invent the structure from scratch.
A draft shaped by context
The workflow collects details about your business, the document and the intended outcome, then applies them throughout the drafting process.
A document ready for the next step
Download the draft to use internally, continue refining it, or share it with a lawyer together with the context that produced it.
How legal document drafting works.
You move through a guided workflow for the document type, refine the result through feedback and leave with a real draft.
Step 01
Choose a supported template
Start with the document you need, such as an NDA, customer agreement, privacy policy or company resolution. Drafting and document review remain separate workflows.
Step 02
Supply structured business context
Explain your situation, priorities and intended outcome. Guided legal know-how iterates with you on that document based on your feedback and turns it into output you can use.
Step 03
Download or brief a lawyer
Take the draft forward yourself or send the output and collected context for legal advice, so the lawyer can begin from structured work rather than a blank page.
Your document should reflect the situation it is for.
A useful legal document depends on more than the company name. Pīwakawaka gathers the practical inputs needed for the supported template and applies detailed drafting guidance as the document changes.
What shapes the output
- The type of company and transaction
- The document's purpose and intended users
- Your commercial priorities
- The positions you want the document to take
- Your feedback as the draft develops
Current drafting templates.
Each option uses a dedicated NZ law firm template and guidance for that document type.
When you want legal advice
Let the lawyer start with the draft and the reasons behind it.
When you want legal advice, the draft can travel with the structured context that shaped it. The lawyer receives AI output they already understand together with your inputs, so a later video call can focus on judgement, strategy and final risk decisions. For routine tasks currently supported, this process aims to make legal service 50–70% less expensive than starting from scratch.
Drafting answers.
What can I draft with Pīwakawaka?
Current drafting options include NDAs, independent contractor agreements, customer agreements, privacy policies, IP assignments, company constitutions, and director and shareholder resolutions.
Is drafting the same as document review?
No. Drafting starts with a NZ law firm template and adapts it to your situation. Review starts with a third-party agreement you have been asked to sign and returns comments, suggested markups and counterparty explanations.
How does my context affect the draft?
Pīwakawaka collects structured information about your company, the document and your intended outcome, then applies detailed guidance and know-how for the supported document type as you iterate.
Can I ask a lawyer to finish the document?
Yes. You can download the AI draft or share it with a lawyer together with the context that shaped it, allowing the lawyer to focus on judgement, strategy and the remaining decisions.
Does using Pīwakawaka create a lawyer-client relationship?
No. The platform and its outputs do not constitute legal advice and do not establish a lawyer-client relationship. A separate engagement with a qualified New Zealand lawyer is required for legal advice.
