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.
Who we are
Benjamin Schlunk

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.
