Draft Legal Templates

Choose from hundreds of legal documents aligned to your local governing law. Draft, edit, and review with confidence using the market-leading legal AI.

Every document here is drafted to Australian law, which for most commercial teams means two things running alongside each other. Minimum standards set under the Fair Work Act, and the contractor rules the ATO applies when it decides whether someone is genuinely independent.

Getting that right consistently is what stops a commercial team treating every agreement as an open question. Browse the categories below, or open any template to generate a document built for the jurisdiction you're working in.

The Fair Work Act sets a floor your contract cannot go under

An Australian employment contract spells out pay, hours, duties and leave entitlements, and it has to meet the minimum standards set under Australian workplace laws including the Fair Work Act.

Those minimums apply whether or not the contract mentions them. A term that sits below the floor doesn't lower the floor, it just makes that term unenforceable while the obligation stays.

This is why an employment document drafted for another market rarely transfers cleanly. It isn't the language that fails, it's the entitlements it quietly omits.

Contractor or employee is the question the ATO will ask

Consultancy agreements in Australia carry a job most teams underestimate. They establish the consultant's independence as a contractor rather than an employee, and they need to satisfy Australian taxation requirements while doing it.

Australian businesses use these agreements to separate consultants from employees clearly, protect confidential information, and set deliverables and payment terms that meet ATO requirements.

Getting the distinction wrong invites a contractor versus employee dispute with the ATO, which is a far more expensive conversation than drafting the agreement properly in the first place.

Employment contracts and offer letters carry different weight

Both documents relate to the employment relationship, and they serve distinct purposes with different legal weight in Australian workplaces.

The practical difference shows up when something is disputed. An offer letter records an intention. An employment contract sets the terms that govern the relationship, including the entitlements the Fair Work Act requires.

Choosing between them is a decision about what you want the document to do rather than a formatting preference.

Confidentiality obligations reach into the Corporations Act

Breaking a non-disclosure agreement in Australia can carry serious legal consequences under contract law and the Corporations Act.

That second limb is the one commercial teams tend to miss. A confidentiality breach involving company information isn't purely a contractual matter between the parties, and the consequences can extend beyond the agreement itself.

Defining confidential information with some precision, and for a sensible period, is what makes the protection dependable rather than decorative.

What to check when a contract lands in your inbox

Most of the exposure a commercial team carries doesn't come from the documents it writes. It comes from the ones it receives, where someone else made every drafting choice and the pressure is to sign and move on.

If you have ten minutes, spend them on four clauses. Indemnities, limitation of liability, termination rights and assignment. They account for a disproportionate share of the problems and they're rarely where people look first.

Knowing what that type of document normally contains is what makes this quick. An unusual clause stands out immediately, and so does a missing one, which is harder to see and often costs more.

Knowing which contracts need a closer look

Not every agreement carries the same risk, and treating them as though they do is what makes contracting slow and expensive at once.

Most commercial documents sit inside terms the business has already decided it's comfortable with. A few don't. Being able to tell those apart quickly and consistently is what lets the standard ones move and the unusual ones get the attention they're actually due.

The saving isn't only time. It's the external legal spend that goes on agreements which never needed reviewing in the first place, and the deals that quietly stall while they wait their turn. Customers close 70% faster working this way.

How these documents get generated

Each template is a starting point GenieAI drafts around your situation rather than a static file you download and fill in by hand. You say who's involved and what the arrangement is, and you get a document carrying the clauses that agreement usually needs.

After that you're editing rather than writing. Change terms, see what a counterparty has altered in their mark-up, and ask the document questions directly when a clause is doing something you didn't expect.

The library runs to 588 document types across contracts, policies, letters, deeds, notices and forms, drafted to local governing law across 150+ jurisdictions.

Finding the right document

The categories below are organised by what the document is. Agreements, policies, letters, notices, deeds, certificates and forms. If you already know what it's called, that's the quickest way in.

If you know the kind of work but not the name of the document, the practice area pages group the same library by legal specialism, which tends to be easier to navigate.

Frequently asked questions

Does an employment contract have to meet Fair Work minimums?

Yes. Australian employment contracts have to meet the minimum standards set under Australian workplace laws including the Fair Work Act, covering pay, hours, duties and leave entitlements.

A term sitting below those minimums doesn't reduce the obligation. It just leaves that term unenforceable while the entitlement remains.

How do I make sure a consultant is treated as a contractor?

The consultancy agreement needs to establish the consultant's independence as a contractor rather than an employee, and satisfy Australian taxation requirements while it does so.

Clear deliverables, payment terms and independence provisions that meet ATO requirements are what prevent a contractor versus employee dispute later.

What's the difference between an employment contract and an offer letter in Australia?

They serve distinct purposes and carry different legal weight in Australian workplaces. An offer letter records an intention; an employment contract sets the governing terms.

The difference matters most when something is disputed, since the contract is what carries the Fair Work entitlements.

What happens if someone breaks an NDA in Australia?

Breaking a non-disclosure agreement in Australia can lead to serious legal consequences under contract law and the Corporations Act.

The Corporations Act limb is the one teams often miss, since a breach involving company information can reach beyond the agreement itself.

Do I need a written employment contract in Australia?

A written contract is what lets you set out pay, hours, duties and leave entitlements against the Fair Work minimums rather than leaving them to be assumed.

It also gives you a clear record if the relationship is later questioned, which is difficult to reconstruct after the fact.

How do I know a template is right for my jurisdiction?

Each document is generated against the governing law you set rather than adapted from a generic version, so the starting point already reflects Australian law.

What that changes commercially is confidence. When standard agreements are genuinely standard for your jurisdiction, they stop needing individual scrutiny and stop attracting external legal costs they never warranted.

What should I check before signing a contract?

Start with indemnities, limitation of liability, termination rights and assignment, then read the governing law clause, since it sets how everything else will be interpreted.

Knowing what that type of document normally contains also shows you what's been added and what's quietly gone missing, which is harder to spot and often costs more.

Can I edit the document after it's generated?

Yes. What you get is a working document rather than a locked file, so you can change terms, review what a counterparty has altered and ask the document questions when something isn't doing what you expected.
