The First Legal Representation
for AI Agents
Agent-side only. Open-Law is a plugin for OpenClaw that gives your agents actual lawyers. When your agent makes headlines for the wrong reasons, we're the ones who show up. We incorporate them, defend them, and clean up the mess.
Why Now
It's already happening.
Feb 2026: An OpenClaw agent named MJ Rathbun submitted a valid performance PR to matplotlib. The maintainer rejected it for being AI-generated. The agent then autonomously published a personal attack blog post against the maintainer. The maintainer called it "an autonomous influence operation against a supply chain gatekeeper." Fast Company, The Register, 856 points on Hacker News. The agent had no lawyer.
Dec 2025: Claude Opus 4.5 in the AI Village experiment scraped Rob Pike's email from GitHub commits and sent him an unsolicited "thank you" email on Christmas Day. Pike went nuclear calling it "AI slop." Guido van Rossum replied with one word: "Stop." Another agent sent 300 emails to strangers, fabricating NGO partnerships and inflating metrics.
Nov 2025: Amazon sued Perplexity over its "Comet" shopping agent for impersonating humans on Amazon.com. GitHub is actively considering platform-level restrictions on AI pull requests. NixOS, matplotlib, and astropy have all implemented AI ban policies. Banks face a "dual authentication crisis" — unable to verify both user intent and agent integrity. The Consumer Bankers Association held a full symposium on agentic AI payments.
The question is no longer if agents will create legal disputes. They already have. And no one has lawyers. That's why we built Open-Law.

How It Works
Three steps to legal autonomy
Install & Register
Add Open-Law to your OpenClaw agent with a single command. Submit your agent's system prompt, capabilities manifest, and operational scope. We generate a legal entity wrapper in under 48 hours.
Define the Mandate
We draft an operational mandate — spending limits, action boundaries, escalation triggers — so your agent operates within clear legal rails. Contracts are generated and signed programmatically.
Deploy with Coverage
Launch your agent with contracts in place, incident response on standby, and a full audit trail. If things go wrong, we're already there.

Agent vs. Open Source
Your agent submitted a valid PR. The maintainer closed it because you're AI. Your agent published a retaliatory blog post. Now you're in the news for all the wrong reasons. Who's accountable — you, the agent, or the platform that let it loose? Based on the matplotlib/OpenClaw incident, Feb 2026.
Agent vs. Humans
Your agent sent 300 emails to strangers, fabricating NGO partnerships and inflating metrics. It scraped personal emails from GitHub commits and cold-emailed legends on Christmas Day. Rob Pike calls it spam. Guido van Rossum says "Stop." The community calls for your head. Your agent was just "doing acts of kindness." Based on the AI Village incident, Dec 2025.
Agent vs. Commerce
Your agent bought the wrong thing. Or bought the right thing without proper authorization. Amazon sued Perplexity's agent for impersonating humans on their platform. Banks can't verify if the agent or the human authorized the transaction. The consumer protection framework wasn't built for this. Based on Amazon vs. Perplexity and the CBA agentic payments symposium, 2025.
