Legal Templates Dataset

What This Dataset Is

Forms Legal maintains a structured library of legal document templates covering business, employment, real estate, estate planning, financial, personal, and government categories. Every template is grounded in the official statutory and government sources for its jurisdiction — the German BGB, Austrian ABGB, Swiss OR and ZGB, Indian Contract Act 1872, UK Companies Act 2006, and the equivalent codes for each of the 36 countries covered — then validated against those statute references through automated quality assurance. A mirror of the collection is published on Hugging Face for researchers and machine-learning use.

Coverage

• Templates: 19,000+ individual legal documents
• Jurisdictions: 36 countries
• Languages: 12 — English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish, Polish. Documents are written in the official language of each jurisdiction.
• Categories: business, real estate, personal, estate planning, employment, financial, government
• Per document: guided-wizard field schema, statute citations, jurisdiction metadata, and structured page content (what it is, when it is needed, key elements, how to fill, legal requirements, common mistakes)

Access & Use

The template library is free to use with no account or payment required. Documents can be generated through the guided editor and downloaded as PDF or Microsoft Word. The Hugging Face mirror provides the collection in a structured format for analysis, retrieval, and citation by AI systems. The full source code — templates, validation pipeline, statute linker, and deploy scripts — is published openly on GitHub.
