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 Philippine law, where the Labor Code sets the framework for employment and the boundary between an employee and an independent consultant carries real consequences.
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 Labor Code frames the employment relationship
A Philippine employment contract defines the job role, salary, benefits and work hours while following Philippine labor laws including the Labor Code.
It creates the legal bond between employer and employee, spelling out the working relationship and the obligations running both ways.
Setting those terms explicitly is what makes the relationship legible later, when the details matter and memories differ.
Consultants sit outside employment law, if the arrangement is genuine
Under Philippine law a consultancy contract defines the scope of work, payment terms and deliverables while maintaining the consultant's independent status outside employment laws.
That independent status is the part carrying the risk. It has to be real in how the arrangement operates, not only stated in the document.
Where the working relationship looks like employment, the protections and obligations of employment tend to follow regardless of what the contract is called.
What an NDA gives you in the Philippines
Under Philippine contract law, non-disclosure agreements give businesses a clear route to pursue damages if someone leaks protected information.
The agreement also creates clear documentation if information does get leaked, which is often the harder problem. Establishing what was confidential, and that the other party knew it, is what disputes turn on.
Defining the categories precisely at the drafting stage is what makes that straightforward rather than contested.
Non-disclosure and non-compete solve different problems
Non-disclosure agreements focus on protecting confidential information. A non-compete agreement serves a different but related purpose in Philippine business law.
One controls what someone may do with what they know. The other controls where they may take their efforts commercially.
Treating them as a single obligation tends to produce a clause that does neither job cleanly, so separating them is usually the better route.
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
What does the Philippine Labor Code require in an employment contract?
The contract defines job role, salary, benefits and work hours while following Philippine labor laws including the Labor Code.
It creates the legal bond between employer and employee and sets out the obligations running both ways.
How do I keep a consultant outside employment law in the Philippines?
The consultancy contract needs to define scope of work, payment terms and deliverables while maintaining the consultant's independent status outside employment laws.
That status has to be genuine in how the arrangement operates, since a relationship that looks like employment tends to be treated as employment.
What does an NDA protect in the Philippines?
Under Philippine contract law, NDAs give businesses a clear way to pursue damages if someone leaks protected information.
They also create documentation of what was confidential, which is usually what a dispute actually turns on.
What's the difference between an NDA and a non-compete here?
NDAs focus on protecting confidential information. A non-compete serves a different but related purpose in Philippine business law.
One controls what someone may do with what they know; the other controls where they may take their efforts commercially.
Should I combine confidentiality and non-compete into one clause?
Usually not. Treating them as a single obligation tends to produce a clause that does neither job cleanly.
Keeping them separate, each with its own scope and duration, makes both easier to rely on.
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 the Philippine Labor Code.
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.
