Our lawyers have done all the thinking for you and written the decisions trees which determines which sections and/or clauses are relevant – based on your answers. Our tech team have coded this into the system to ensure that your legal document will be bespoke and customised for your business.

Creating Legal Documents – 5 Simple Steps

  1. Select the correct document – this may sound like an obvious thing, but is an easy mistake to make. Legal documents have different names, abbreviations or nicknames. Also you may think you need one document but actually need another to help with your issue. Each of our documents have a clear descriptive overview with links to other documents which may be more relevant to your needs. The overview page also outlines:
    1. When you should use the document
    2. What the document covers
    3. Why you need the document
    4. Where you can find out more

We also show you a sample page of the document so you can see what it looks like when complete. You can find the document you need by using the search bar, filtering through the legal documents library, or by clicking directly from a link in our Q&A.

  1. Get started – On the document description page, click “Get started”. Our document builder tool will open. In the first step of the document customisation process, you will be shown some preliminary information on what you need to know before you use this template. Make sure to read this carefully and click “Next”.
  2. Build Document – we have built a clever legal document creation tool that allows you to build and customise you legal documents (such as contracts, agreements and policies) in a matter of minutes, simply by filling in a short questionnaire online. The simple documents (e.g. Website Terms of Use) take only 5 minutes and the more complex documents (e.g. Employment Contract) may take up to 20 minutes. Next to each question, we have provided practical guidance to take you through the process and understand what the document means to you and your business.
  3. Save & Store – all our documents can be saved part way through or at the end. If you save part way through you’ll find your incomplete document within your ‘My Account’ section. This can be found within ‘Documents in Progress’. Here you can find, filter and store all your saved and completed documents. You can even re-edit the documents, copy them for different iterations and delete them when they are no longer required.
  4. Download, Print and Sign – once you have filled all required information, click “Finish”. Now you can choose between downloading your ready-to-use, customised document in PDF or MSWord format. After having downloaded the file, make sure to double-check the information and carefully read your final document. Then, if required, sign it and make it legal!
