Spend less time (and less lawyer time) getting routine business contracts to signature.

Every contract is important, but not every contract needs the lawyers to spend time hand-crafting the language. Sometimes it's enough for the parties and lawyers to configure a set of standard language, so that the parties can get their business done and move on.

With a Pactix PDF contract form, you and your lawyer can quickly build a high-quality contract draft by —

• checking selected boxes;
• choosing from drop-down menu options; and
• filling in blanks in the actual document.

If desired, your lawyer can prepare a rider with any special-purpose language you might need.

With a Pactix form, you aren't stuck filling out an on-line questionnaire, with the actual language being a mystery until you pay for the contract. Instead, you review the exact language of the contract you’re configuring, in context, just as if you were drafting it yourself. Plain-English language lets you swiftly grasp what options are offered in the contract form.

(Are you wondering how good legally the Pactix contract forms are? By all means, ask your lawyer.)

Automatically generate a summary page of selected key terms

As you configure a Pactix contract form, the PDF document automatically updates a summary page, which you can save for handy future reference.

Save and re-use benchmark contracts

Why keep re-doing the same work? With Pactix contract forms, once you negotiate a contract you’re happy with, you can quickly fine-tune it as desired and save it as a benchmark. Then . . . .

If you’ll be negotiating from a vendor’s contract form, ask the vendor to send you a Pactix form, configured to match the vendor’s preferences. Using the document-comparison feature of Adobe Acrobat® Professional software (or other PDF comparison software), you can instantly see how the vendor’s proposal measures up to the benchmark contract you’d like to match.

Give your junior colleagues tools to train themselves

Pactix’s extensive annotations and Web links help your junior colleagues learn why certain contract provisions are — or aren’t — drafted in certain ways.

Spend time on “the art of the deal” only when you need to

Some lawyers and business people want their contracts to be subtly worded in ways that give them the maximum possible legal advantage. Pactix contract forms don't do that; they try to be very straightforward in how the various options are presented.

Yes, a Pactix contract form might coach the other side about concessions they could request. But realistically, you can’t assume the other side’s lawyers won’t ask for those concessions anyway — in which case you'll spend time and money fussing over language. By using a Pactix form, you’ll save some of that time, which could make all the difference in getting to signature on time.
