Legal and advisory professionals: what automated analysis actually checks
Data protection, professional dimensions calibrated by profession, what isn't covered.
Lawyer, notary, accountant, broker, independent consultant: every regulated profession has its own client contracts, and little time to review them all in detail.
subblink calibrates its analysis based on the declared profession — but it's useful to know precisely what that covers, and what it doesn't.
Quick check: Analyze a contract on subblink — analysis calibrated by profession, data protection, professional dimensions.
1. What is actually checked: data protection
The problem
A client contract involving a data sub-processor (hosting provider, management software, IT vendor) must strictly govern this relationship — the absence of a formalized data processing agreement is itself a compliance gap.
What subblink detects
The regulatoryCompliance field checks for the presence of clauses required under GDPR (Article 28 for sub-processing) and the Swiss nFADP (Article 9): purpose, duration, nature of processing, categories of data and data subjects, fate of data at contract end, prior authorization for any further sub-processing.
What isn't covered
Anti-money-laundering due diligence obligations (AML/KYC) are not checked by this field — they fall under a separate business-specific control, specific to each regulated profession and its supervisory authority.
2. Professional dimensions calibrated by profession
The problem
A mandate contract for a lawyer doesn't have the same points of caution as an engagement contract for an accountant or a deed for a notary.
What subblink detects
Based on the profession declared in the analysis form, the report highlights the relevant dimensions: negotiability and market benchmark (lawyers), tax consistency and financial exposure (trustees), banking risk (banks), formal compliance (notaries). See the dedicated article for each profession for details.
3. The profession's own contract
The problem
An engagement letter, a fee agreement, a mandate contract: these are also contracts, with their own legal requirements (mandatory written form, precise particulars, termination conditions).
What subblink detects
These contracts are analyzed like any other mandate or service contract, with the clauses expected documented in the legal knowledge base (duration, revocability, duty to account).
4. Certification and traceability
The problem
A regulated professional sometimes needs to demonstrate that an analysis was carried out on a given date, on a given contract.
What subblink offers
A timestamped and verifiable ContractScore certification via a public link — a traceability element, not judicial expertise nor a professional stamp.
Professional checklist: before sending a contract to a client
- Profession declared in the form to correctly calibrate the analysis
- Data protection clauses checked if a sub-processor is involved
- Relevant professional dimensions consulted (see the article dedicated to your profession)
- Fee agreement or engagement letter itself checked if applicable
- Timestamped certification if proof of due diligence is useful

FAQ: subblink for regulated professions
Which professions can be declared in the form?
Lawyer, notary, trustee / accountant, bank, or freelancer — each with specifically calibrated analysis dimensions, documented in the corresponding article.
Does subblink check anti-money-laundering (AML/KYC) obligations?
No, this check is not covered. Only personal data protection (GDPR/nFADP) is systematically checked.
Is professional privilege respected?
The text submitted for analysis is transmitted encrypted to the AI sub-processor under a data processing agreement guaranteeing no use for training purposes, and the file name is anonymized before transmission. See the terms of service for the full details applicable to professions bound by professional secrecy.
Can I change the declared profession from one analysis to the next?
Yes, this field is set for each analysis and does not permanently commit the account.
Conclusion
Every regulated profession has its own analysis priorities. subblink calibrates its report accordingly — without ever claiming to cover a business-specific check it doesn't actually perform.
