Contracts & Legal
Are the templates lawyer-reviewed?
Yes. All contract templates are reviewed by UK business lawyers. We update them quarterly to reflect legal changes. However, HelloNoa is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. For complex situations, consult a solicitor.
What industries do you cover?
6 industries: Tech & Development, Creative & Design, Writing & Content, Marketing & Social Media, Coaching & Consulting, Photography & Video. Each gets industry-specific templates and clause recommendations.
Can I customise the templates?
Yes. You can adjust clause settings and fill in your details through guided forms. Add optional clauses suited to your industry or remove sections you don't need. Our AI checks for risky changes and warns you, keeping the lawyer-reviewed structure intact.
Is this UK compliant?
Yes. All templates follow UK contract law, include GDPR data processing terms, and account for IR35 rules. We use UK terminology, £ currency, and UK legal standards. Not suitable for US contracts.
