At TLL, we believe that while law is inherently complex, the delivery of select legal services doesn't have to be complicated. Our goal is to streamline the delivery of these services by providing annotated templates and checklists that combine relevant information with practical, executable drafts. Understanding Complexity vs. Complication: 1. Complexity of Law: Law involves various uncertain elements such as legislation, legal and commercial precedents, commercial interests, strategy, and human choices. Good legal advice results from an expert's ability to appreciate these elements. 2. Complication in Application: Over time, the application of law, especially in contract drafting, has become unnecessarily complicated due to the disorganisation of information and its application in commercially executable formats. This situation is not ideal for legal practitioners or recipients of legal services. By offering well-organised, annotated templates and checklists, TLL reduces these complications, making it easier for legal practitioners to deliver high-quality services efficiently.

A template is a pre-drafted document that provides a standardised structure for creating legal documents. TLL offers a very wide variety of situation based templates that can require minimal customisation to suit a specific situation. Each template is crafted by legal professionals to ensure it meets current legal standards and can be easily customised for specific cases and jurisdictions.

Annotated templates are legal document templates that include additional commentary, explanations, and guidance notes within the document. These annotations provide context and insight into the purpose and use of various sections and clauses, helping legal practitioners understand the nuances and best practices for customising the template to their specific needs.

Guidance for Customisation: They provide practical advice on how to modify the template to suit specific legal situations, ensuring that the document is tailored to meet particular needs and requirements. Legal References: Annotations often include references to relevant laws, regulations, and case law, helping to substantiate the clauses and providing a legal basis for the document's content. Best Practices: Annotations highlight best practices and common pitfalls, guiding users on how to effectively use the template and avoid common mistakes.
