Legal Templates

Attorney-drafted legal templates for startups and technology companies. Created by the attorneys at General Legal and released under CC0 1.0. Free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute for any purpose, without attribution.

These templates are provided in LLM-optimized markdown and original .docx formats. Highlighted text (marked with <mark> tags in the markdown files) indicates fields that should be customized for your use.

Attribution

These templates include a General Legal credit footnote. The templates are released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so retaining that footnote isn't a legal requirement, but we ask that you keep it in place when reproducing or adapting these documents.

这是什么?一套面向初创公司和科技公司的免费法律模板合集,由律师起草,涵盖 NDA(保密协议)、MSA(主服务协议)、隐私政策和录用信(Offer)等合同。
这是法律文档库还是软件工具?它是一个文档仓库,不是软件。模板以 markdown 文件(针对 LLM 优化)和原始 .docx 文件的形式提供,供你下载后填写。
这些模板怎么使用?从仓库里挑出需要的模板,打开 .docx 或 markdown 文件,填写标注为需自定义的高亮字段。
使用模板时必须注明 General Legal 的署名吗?不强制,按 CC0 协议法律上并不要求署名,但仓库仍然希望你保留 General Legal 的署名脚注。
有 GDPR 或 CCPA 合规相关的模板吗?有,针对美国法律(CCPA/CPRA)和 GDPR/英国 GDPR 都有专门的数据处理附录(DPA)和隐私政策,还有一个覆盖美国、欧盟/欧洲经济区、英国和瑞士的全球 DPA。

有处理医疗健康数据的模板吗?有,其中包含一份商业伙伴协议(BAA)模板,用于受覆盖实体与处理受保护健康信息的商业伙伴之间按 HIPAA 要求签订的合同。
为什么模板同时提供 markdown 和 Word 格式?markdown 版本被称为针对 LLM 优化,更容易解析、编辑或喂给 AI 工具,而 .docx 文件则是原始的、拿来即可编辑的格式。
