💡 In simple words: Lawyers can help WikiDeal write and check its agreements so they are safe and follow the law. This page explains how to start helping.

🎯 In 20 seconds (expert summary): Entry page for legal professionals: relevant areas of expertise (contracts, governance, intellectual property, privacy, mediation and arbitration, financial regulation) and the current way to get involved. There is no selection filter: open participation currently takes place in the Markets space, where one role envisaged for lawyers is the approval of contract templates (recognizing them as functional and freezing the approved version). Contributing to governance, policies and institutions goes through a simple contact step (info@wikideal.net) to receive administration rights.

Contribute as a Legal Professional

Help draft the future of cooperative law. WikiDeal contracts are intended to govern peer-to-peer labor, decentralized treasury sharing, and algorithmic liability without relying on blockchain. We are looking for legal experts to draft, review, and validate new service portals across different jurisdictions.

Areas of legal expertise

Contract law and employment
Corporate governance and foundations
Intellectual property and libre licensing
Data privacy and GDPR
Mediation and arbitration
Financial regulation

How to get involved

There is no filter and no selection process: you can start right away.

At this stage, open participation takes place in the Markets space, where anyone can propose use cases, contract templates and complete structures. One role envisaged for legal professionals is the approval of contract templates: recognizing a template as functional and freezing the approved version, so that it is protected against modification. This process is still taking shape and is proposed as a basis for discussion.

The rest of the platform (governance, policies, institutions, everything outside the Markets) can currently be edited only by people holding administration rights. If you would like to take part in that work, the first step proposed is to identify yourself and contact us at info@wikideal.net, so that these rights can be granted to you.

When you write to us, share your bar association or licensing body, your primary jurisdiction(s), your working languages, and how you would contribute to WikiDeal's legal framework.

For the broader picture, including the planned webinars, see Get started: how to contribute.
