Contract Automation

Contracts that make no mistakes.

Your sales team is waiting. Legal is overloaded. And contracts are still built from outdated Word files. It doesn't have to be this way.

Sound familiar?

Without a standardized system, the same mistakes happen over and over — at the cost of time, quality and trust.

Contracts take too long

Sales reps wait on legal. Deals stall because no one can quickly access the right template.

Errors from manual editing

Wrong names, outdated clauses, missing required fields — the same mistakes happen again and again when filling Word templates by hand.

Templates get overwritten

Staff modify templates on their own — without approval. Standards erode. Legal risk rises unnoticed.

Knowledge gets lost

Clauses painstakingly negotiated by a lawyer sit buried in emails and local folders. The next contract starts from scratch.

External parties slow things down

Getting suppliers or customers to provide their details becomes awkward. Email ping-pong instead of efficient collaboration.

No consistent standard

Every team uses its own version. Who's allowed to use which template is unclear. Consistency is coincidence, not system.

The solution

Approved templates as the foundation of your contract process

Instead of filling out Word documents by hand, your teams create contracts from vetted, smart templates — fast, error-free, and always legally sound.

01

Select template

Team picks the right approved template.

02

Fill in fields

Guided assistant collects all required details.

03

Involve externals

Counterparty fills in their details directly in the system.

04

Send contract

Legally sound contract in minutes, not days.

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

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.
