When to Use a Free Template vs When to Get It Drafted
📄 Free Templates Are Good For
Simple, standard situations — basic rent agreement, standard NDA, generic PO. Suitable when parties have equal bargaining power and contract value is below ₹5 lakh. Must still be reviewed and adapted for your specific context before signing.
✏️ Custom Drafting Is Essential For
High-value contracts (above ₹5 lakh), SHA/investor agreements, employment contracts for senior hires, cross-border agreements, complex IP arrangements. Custom drafting by TAXAJ's advocates costs ₹1,999–₹24,999 depending on complexity — delivered in 48 hours.

Generic templates may miss jurisdiction-specific provisions, lack current statutory updates, have gaps for your industry, or omit clauses for your specific risk scenario. Always have a lawyer review before signing any contract with significant financial or legal implications.
