Create contracts from templates — in minutes, not days

Vetted templates guide your staff step by step through contract creation. No blank page, no manual errors, no waiting on legal.

  • Smart input fields with help texts — understandable even for non-lawyers
  • Conditional logic: sections appear only when relevant
  • Automatic export as PDF or Word in your corporate design
  • Error sources are ruled out by the system, not checked manually
Supplier contract – external input
Your counterparty is invited via link
Tax number (counterparty)
IBAN for payments (counterparty)
Your fields onlyNo account needed
Involve external parties

Let counterparties enter their own details directly

Why ask for customer data by email when the counterparty can simply fill it into the document themselves — securely, structured, and without a system account?

  • External parties only access their own fields — your clauses stay protected
  • No customer account required — a link invitation is enough
  • All inputs are documented in an audit-proof way
  • Saves back-and-forth by email — and noticeably speeds up contract closing

Your sales team acts — without waiting on legal

Give your sales team exactly the templates they need — no more, no less. That's how legally sound contracts get created fast and independently.

  • Sales only sees relevant, approved templates — no template sprawl
  • Contract closings without questions back to legal
  • Legal keeps control over content — without becoming a bottleneck
  • Deals close faster — revenue comes sooner
With top.legal we can automatically convert contracts into easy-to-use templates that are deployed company-wide. This saves costs and significantly reduces legal risk from faulty contracts.

Access rights

Every team gets exactly what it needs — nothing more.

Granular access rights protect your templates from unauthorized changes and ensure standards are maintained.

Read

Use, not change

Staff can create contracts from the template — but cannot modify the template itself or the fixed clauses.

Write

Controlled editing

Selected people can develop and update templates — versioned and traceable for everyone involved.

External

Involve external experts

External lawyers or consultants can contribute to the template — on defined sections, without access to internal company data.

Admin

Full control

Legal teams manage templates centrally: grant approvals, control access rights, manage versions — all from one interface.

No risk from overwritten templates

Once approved, templates cannot be changed by unauthorized users. Your standards stay — permanently.

Knowledge & clauses

A system that preserves and shares your legal expertise.

Contract expertise builds over years. With top.legal that knowledge stays in the company — structured, findable and usable by everyone.

A knowledge system that learns

Comments, precedents and risk weights are stored directly on clauses — creating a living legal memory for your company.

  • Tag clauses with risk weights
  • Access previous negotiation outcomes
  • Document best practices across teams
  • Give new employees instant orientation

Clause library with version management

Approved clauses are available in multiple versions — for different contract types, markets or risk classes. Always the right clause, always up to date.
