About us

Klaro makes legal language understandable for everyone.

We founded Klaro because we saw a problem that exists everywhere: People sign contracts without understanding what's in them. Not out of laziness, but because legal language is intentionally complex.

The Problem

Contracts, official letters, terms and conditions – they all use language that no one speaks in everyday life. 40-word sentences, nested clauses, technical jargon. This language creates a barrier between people and their own rights.

  • Tenants sign clauses they don't understand
  • Creators give away rights without realizing it
  • People with migration backgrounds are doubly disadvantaged
  • People with reading difficulties are excluded
  • Lawyer visits cost money that many don't have

Our goal: Tear down this barrier.

We've seen too often how people sign contracts without understanding them. How they're embarrassed to ask questions. How language barriers lead to real disadvantages.

Our Vision

Legal language should not be a tool of power. Every person – regardless of education, background, income, or disability – should be able to understand what they're signing.

We believe: Technology can create social justice.

Klaro is our contribution.

What Klaro does – and doesn't do

What Klaro does

  • Translate legal language into everyday language
  • Highlight important sections
  • Show original and plain text side by side
  • Instant, free, no sign-up required

What Klaro doesn't do

  • Legal evaluations ("good" or "bad")
  • Analysis or assessments
  • Recommendations ("don't sign")
  • Legal advice

Klaro only translates language – nothing more. For legal questions, consult a lawyer.

Editorial process

Our guides explain official letters, contracts and notices in plain language. This is how a guide comes about:

  1. 1

    Choosing topics

    We write about documents people actually receive and struggle with: reminders, notices, dismissals, contracts.

  2. 2

    Research

    Every guide is based on statutes, official sources and government websites. The sources used are listed under each article.

  3. 3

    Drafting

    The texts are generated by an AI. We make no secret of that: it is the method that makes plain-language explanations in several languages possible at all.

  4. 4

    Checking

    Before publication, every text goes through a quality check for clarity, completeness and evidence. Deadlines, amounts and percentages are compared against a maintained reference table. Anything the check flags is revised or not published.

  5. 5

    Updating

    When the law changes, we revise the text. The date above each article shows its latest revision.

Our texts explain language and context. They are not legal advice and do not replace speaking to a lawyer.
