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 Irish law, which comes with a deadline most commercial teams don't know about. Irish law requires employers to provide written terms within two months of someone starting.
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.

Irish law gives you two months to provide written terms
Irish law requires employers to provide written terms within two months. Having the contract ready at the start prevents misunderstandings and legal issues rather than merely satisfying the deadline.
Two months sounds generous until you consider what happens in that window. Someone starts work, expectations form on both sides, and the written terms then have to match what has already been happening.
Preparing the document before the start date is considerably easier than reconciling it with two months of practice afterwards.
What Irish employment law requires the contract to contain
An employment contract in Ireland sets out the rights, responsibilities and working conditions between employer and employee, covering pay, hours, leave entitlements and duties, all following Irish employment law requirements under the Terms of Employment (Information) Act.
Employment contracts also include mandatory elements that go beyond the commercial terms. Grievance procedures and working time provisions are required rather than optional additions.
A document missing those isn't a shorter contract. It's an incomplete one under Irish employment legislation.
Offer letters and contracts do different jobs
The employment contract follows after acceptance, providing the detailed terms required by Irish law. The offer letter comes first and does something narrower.
The difference is depth as much as sequence. Employment contracts include the mandatory elements, grievance procedures and working time provisions that Irish employment law expects, which an offer letter doesn't carry.
Employment contracts provide full legal protection for both parties under Irish employment legislation, and that protection is what the offer letter is not designed to deliver.
What confidentiality agreements cover in Ireland
Under Irish law, confidentiality agreements create clear obligations to keep specified information confidential, from trade secrets and customer lists through to upcoming product launches and financial information.
Customer lists are the category most often assumed to be covered and most often left undefined. If the agreement doesn't name them, the protection is weaker than the parties assumed.
Being specific about the categories at the drafting stage is what makes the obligation dependable later.
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
How long do I have to provide written terms in Ireland?
Irish law requires employers to provide written terms within two months of the employee starting.
Having the contract ready before the start date prevents misunderstandings rather than only meeting the deadline, since two months of practice can be difficult to reconcile with terms written afterwards.
What must an Irish employment contract include?
It sets out rights, responsibilities and working conditions covering pay, hours, leave entitlements and duties, following Irish employment law requirements under the Terms of Employment (Information) Act.
It also has to include mandatory elements such as grievance procedures and working time provisions, which are required rather than optional.
What's the difference between an offer letter and an employment contract in Ireland?
The employment contract follows after acceptance and provides the detailed terms required by Irish law. The offer letter does something narrower and earlier.
Employment contracts provide full legal protection for both parties under Irish employment legislation, which an offer letter is not designed to deliver.
What does an Irish NDA protect?
Under Irish law these agreements create clear obligations to keep specified information confidential, covering trade secrets, customer lists, upcoming product launches and financial information.
Customer lists are the category most often assumed covered and most often left undefined, so naming them explicitly matters.
Do grievance procedures have to be in the contract?
Employment contracts in Ireland include mandatory elements such as grievance procedures and working time provisions alongside the detailed terms required by Irish employment law.
A contract missing them is incomplete under Irish employment legislation rather than simply shorter.
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 Irish 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.
