How to Create a Contract

Creating a contract is quick and flexible. You can start with just a name and type — and return later to fill in more details.

To create a contract in dot.legal, click Create Contract, provide a name and contract type, then complete the 6-step documentation flow. New contracts start in draft status and can be completed at your own pace.

Steps

  • Click Create Contract
  • Enter a name
  • Choose a contract type
  • Click Create → You now enter the contract documentation flow

All new contracts are created in draft status by default. You can save your progress at any step and return later to continue.

The 6-Step Documentation Flow

  • Step 2: Access and ownership
  • Step 3: Dates and notifications
