Colombian employment law, as infrastructure
Colombian employment contracts, generated and validated
Bonsai supplies the Colombian employment-law capability that employment platforms cannot justify building in-house: contracts drafted to comply with the Código Sustantivo del Trabajo, existing ones audited clause by clause, and every answer citing the provision behind it.
What is Bonsai?
Bonsai generates and validates Colombian employment contracts, and drafts responses to PQRs and tutelas — Colombia's statutory petition and constitutional-claim procedures. Each output cites the statute, the article and the ruling that support it. It runs as a web platform, a REST integration or an MCP server, and it is operated by MGL Asociados, a Colombian employment-law firm founded in 2004.
Three modules, one body of legal reasoning
All three start from the labour code and the reading the high courts have given it.
Contract generation
Indefinite-term, fixed-term and work-scope contracts, each carrying the clauses its modality requires and the probation period the law actually allows.
IP assignment and Colombian data-protection consent included.
Contract validation
Upload a contract to see what is missing, what exceeds a legal limit and which article requires it. One contract or the whole archive.
Every finding names the provision behind it.
Petitions and constitutional claims
Colombia's PQR and tutela regime runs on short, unforgiving deadlines. Drafts arrive with the reasoning grounded and the clock tracked.
Why platforms integrate local expertise
Not because outside counsel is careless, but because local expertise sits outside the product.
Templates age between reviews
The standard model is one template per country, refreshed by outside counsel each quarter. Between refreshes the law changes, and nobody notices until someone files a claim.
Bespoke clauses take days
When a customer asks for something the template does not cover, the request leaves for legal review and comes back in several business days. Your operation absorbs that delay.
One country rarely justifies a dedicated hire
Colombia alone rarely supports in-house employment counsel — so local expertise sits outside the product, with a third party you have to ask about everything.
The case in full is on the platforms page; the technical detail is in API and MCP.
