Draft Legal Templates

An Indian employment contract covers salary, work hours, job responsibilities and leave policies, following Indian labour laws including the Industrial Employment Act.

The contract becomes essential before the employee's first day, since that's when expectations get set and both parties' interests start needing protection under Indian labour laws.

Waiting until after someone has started means the written terms have to be reconciled with whatever has already been happening, which is harder than agreeing them upfront.

In India, confidentiality agreements are legally enforceable under the Indian Contract Act and help protect intellectual property rights.

That enforceability is what makes them worth drafting carefully rather than adopting from a template found elsewhere. Breaking an NDA in India can lead to serious consequences including compensation claims.

The protection tracks the drafting. A definition precise enough to identify what's covered, running for a defined period, is what makes the obligation dependable.

Non-disclosure agreements and non-compete agreements both protect business interests, and they serve distinct purposes under Indian law.

An NDA governs what someone may do with information. A non-compete governs what they may do commercially. Conflating them produces a document that does neither job cleanly.

Where a business needs both, they're better handled as separate obligations with their own scope and duration than merged into a single clause.

A consultancy agreement in India is a legally binding contract defining what the consultant will do, what they'll be paid and how long the work lasts, while making clear they aren't an employee.

That last part carries most of the risk. An arrangement that operates like employment tends to be treated accordingly, regardless of the title on the document.

Setting out the independence clearly, alongside deliverables and payment terms, is what keeps the distinction defensible.

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.

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.

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.

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.
