About Forms Legal

Our Mission

Forms Legal was founded with a clear mission: to make legal documents accessible to everyone. We believe that creating a legally sound contract, agreement, or form should not require expensive legal fees or complicated software. Our platform provides over 500 professionally crafted templates that anyone can customize, sign electronically, and download — completely free.

We serve individuals, small business owners, landlords, freelancers, and families across the United States and Canada who need reliable legal documents for everyday transactions.

How We Create Our Templates

Every template on Forms Legal is built through a rigorous multi-step process:

1. Legal Research: We study the relevant federal, state, and provincial laws for each document type. For U.S. templates, we reference the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), state-specific statutes, and established legal precedents. For Canadian templates, we research federal legislation (such as PIPEDA, the CBCA, and the Canada Labour Code) as well as provincial laws.
2. Template Drafting: Each template includes all legally required clauses, proper definitions, and jurisdiction-specific terminology. We use standard legal language that courts and institutions recognize.
3. Quality Assurance: Every template passes our automated QA system with 37+ validation checks covering field completeness, legal references, governing law clauses, signature blocks, and country-specific compliance.
4. Continuous Updates: We monitor legal developments and update templates when laws change — ensuring our documents reflect current requirements.

Our Review Process

Accuracy is our highest priority. Our editorial process includes:

• Cross-referencing templates against current statutes and legal standards
• Jurisdiction-specific review for both U.S. and Canadian documents
• Regular audits using our 37-point automated quality assurance system
• Verification of all legal terminology, required disclosures, and compliance clauses

Each template page displays a “Last updated” date so you always know how current the document is.
