Legal entities, native to your contract workflow.

top.legal keeps every legal entity you operate inside the same platform you draft, negotiate and sign in — so entity data isn't a separate silo, it's part of the contract.

  • Select the signing entity while drafting — its representatives, sites and policy come with it
  • Insert an operating-site address into the contract without retyping a thing
  • Every entity document is one click from the deal it belongs to

What you can do

Everything about every entity, in one record.

Who is allowed to sign

Store every operating site and drop its address straight into contracts as you draft them.

Articles of association

Keep articles of association and official documents in one place, shared with your entire organisation.

Signing policy per entity

Never forget the signing policy of an entity — the right rules and regulations are enforced whenever they are needed.

Ownership & shareholdings

Track which entity owns what share in which entity, with a full holding structure you can audit.
