This isn’t your mom’s template shop


Let’s talk about the old way of buying a contract template.

You buy the contract template.

You open the Word or Google Doc.

You scan through and try to figure out what each section means.

You replace the highlighted parts (hopefully).

And then… You cross your fingers and hope you didn’t miss anything important.

And if you're a super savvy business owner, you have your attorney review it for good measure.

Honestly? That’s how we operated for years.

Because it is better than having nothing, googling, or DIYing your contract.

(Not to mention it saves business owners thousands of dollars per contract...)

But we always knew our customers needed more.

More confidence.

More clarity.

More support.

Enter: the Modern Era of a Contract Template Shop.

With the Creative Law Foundry™, you don’t just download a template and hope you edit it correctly. Now, you build it from the ground up, with support every step of the way.

Here’s what that looks like:

🔸 The Contract Builder

Instead of guessing which clauses to keep, you walk through a guided Q&A that tailors each contract to your exact business needs. Behind the scenes, your answers trigger 400+ decisions, so every word is intentional. In 15 minutes or less, you’ll have a fully customized contract template, drafted with language from a practicing attorney. No AI writing your contract. No risk of accidentally deleting something important.

🔸 AskLex

Our AI-powered legal assistant (trained on 8+ years of Paige’s legal practice) helps you understand what each clause means, how to customize it further, or what to say when a client asks for edits.

🔸 Always up-to-date

Active members get access to every contract update, so your legal protections grow with your business.

The truth is, downloading a template and editing it yourself was the best starting point.

But now?

We've got something better.

This is legal protection that’s clear, guided, and made for savvy business owners.

Welcome to the new era.

AI is amazing. But when it comes to legal protection, “amazing” doesn’t always mean “accurate.” Just ask Anthropic. A few weeks ago, one of Anthropic’s own lawyers had to apologize in court after their AI tool, Claude, generated a completely fake legal citation... and the attorney used it. The judge caught it. The citation? A hallucination. Totally made up. [Read the story here.] We don’t share this to pile on. We’re sharing it because it proves something we’ve been saying since day one: AI...
