At LegalFast, we often encounter questions from our customers, and potential future customers, regarding the structure of our legal documents. Many wonder why it sometimes appears like you need to create six different documents when you were only intending to create one policy. This blog post aims to explain the reasoning behind our document architecture and the benefits it offers.

Why Multiple Documents?

When creating comprehensive legal documentation, such as a Terms of Service document, you will inevitably need to address various related elements. For instance, you will be asked where your Privacy Policy is located, where your subprocessors list is available, and more. Instead of consolidating all these aspects into a single document, we at LegalFast choose to separate them for several key reasons:

1. Full Adaptability

Our framework provides full adaptability for users. For example, if you are a non-profit organization that does not charge any money, a tax policy is irrelevant to you. With our approach, you can simply delete the part where a tax policy is linked from your documents and move on. Conversely, someone who does need this information can either link it or add it to their document to-do list and come back later.

2. Clear Structure and Hierarchy

Separating documents into distinct sections creates a clear structure and hierarchy. This organization simplifies the process of making changes, as you only need to update the relevant document. The LegalFast documents are designed to be used independently, without requiring cross-references to other documents, making them universally applicable and easy to manage. Instead of listing your subprocessors in your terms of service, you have them in a separate document that you can then reference from other documents.

3. Professional Presentation

Having your legal documents professionally written and clearly structured projects a professional image. In contrast, those who compile all their legal information into a single, cluttered document may appear disorganized and less credible.

Conclusion

The LegalFast framework is designed with the user in mind, prioritizing adaptability, clarity, and professionalism. By structuring legal documents in this manner, we ensure that they are not only comprehensive but also user-friendly and easy to maintain. Whether you are a non-profit or a business with complex legal needs, our approach provides a tailored solution that meets your specific requirements.
