How to Use Draft a Contract

   From the NeXa sidebar, select Draft a Contract.

   

2. Enter Contract Details

   Describe the contract you need (e.g., “Draft a sales contract for the purchase and delivery of goods, including payment terms, delivery schedule, and liability clauses.”).

3. Set Jurisdiction

   Select the governing law for the contract from the dropdown menu.

   

4. Generate and Refine
