Research · sample question
Does “keep in good repair” require a new roof?
The lease asks the tenant to “keep the premises in good repair.” The side letter from 12 March 2024 says Harborline will patch the existing roof this season. The two pages do not use the same words.
Lease § 8.2 · page 14
“Tenant shall keep the premises in good repair, ordinary wear excepted, and shall tell Landlord within five days of a leak.”

Facilities note
Research preview. A question about the fictional Harborline lease, with the lease page and the side letter listed beside the answer.
The slow part is finding the page again.
A review that only says “risk”
You still have to open the contract and find the clause the note is talking about.
A file spread across inboxes
Letters, invoices, and memos are easier to read when they sit on one timeline.
A draft that forgets its source
The next edit is slower when the letter no longer points at the lease page.
Four steps, then you edit.
01
Open a matter
Add the lease, the side letter, and the notes you already have.
02
Pick the task
Ask a question, review clauses, lay out the file, or start a draft.
03
Read the page beside it
Each sentence in the sample stays next to the page it used.
04
Edit it yourself
You change the draft. Pellham does not send it, and it does not give legal advice.
Contracts
Mark the clause, and show the words.
A contract review lists the clause, a short mark, and the sentence on the page. In the sample, “keep in good repair” is flagged because the side letter only promises a roof patch this season.

A lawyer still edits this. Pellham does not send the letter.
Drafts
Start the letter with the citation in the margin.
The highlighted sentence in the sample letter points at lease § 8.2 and the side letter. You can see what would be edited before anyone sends it. This preview does not send mail.

Questions
What is Pellham?
Pellham is a preview of software for legal work. It shows how a lawyer could research a question, review a contract, read a case file, and draft a document, with the source page still in view.
Who is it for?
Lawyers and legal teams who already work from documents: associates, in-house counsel, and small firm teams. A person still decides what the document means.
Does Pellham give legal advice?
No. Pellham is not a law firm and not certified counsel. The Harborline lease on this site is fictional. Do not use it as guidance on a real matter.
Do these screens work as a product?
No. They are interface previews with one made-up matter. There is no document upload, no model answering questions, and no saved workspace.
Will Sign up create an account?
No. The forms stay in your browser. They do not create an account, and they do not send what you type to a server.
Is Pellham connected to another legal software company?
No. This is an independent project preview. It does not use another company’s name, customers, or claims.
Look through the sample matter.
The Harborline lease is fictional. The screens show a path from a question to a letter that still names its pages.
