Do you trust the free legal templates to protect your business?
If you have to ask whether free legal templates can *actually* protect your business from legal harm, you probably already know the answer.
The fact is, most “free” things are free for a reason! And when it comes to legal documents, you can’t afford to get it wrong.
Here are 5 big reasons why you can’t trust your business to free legal templates: click to watch the video below!
In this post, over 50 smart entrepreneurs reveal why they DON’T trust the free legal templates—and instead, they all chose to invest in my legal templates from the beginning to save them time, hassle, and money!
Now you can access those simple, effective legal documents for your business AS WELL without the hefty lawyer fees!
Who doesn’t want to save time and money?
Running an online business is a lot of work.
From establishing the vision for your brand to creating a winning marketing plan, it can be quite overwhelming!
What is the most common mistake entrepreneurs make in the initial stages?
Failing to create a strong legal foundation for their business.
Whether you’re launching an e-commerce store, starting a career as a freelance writer, or starting your own blog, you need to take action to protect yourself and your online business legally.
First, sign up below to find out if you are making the 3 COMMON LEGAL MISTAKES I see entrepreneurs making all the time! Are you smarter?

Be cautious of free legal templates online!
Living in the digital age, we have a wealth of information available to us with the click of a button.
In an effort to be budget-conscious, you may have already discovered that there are many free legal templates readily available.
Unfortunately, if something looks too good to be true, it probably is!
You also get what you pay for, and in this case, your free legal template (such as this one) is simply a generic template that’s often missing tons of legal provisions exposing you to all kinds of legal liability and lawsuits.
Let’s look at some free legal templates as examples:
This website offers a FREE Privacy Policy.
I conducted a legal audit of their Privacy Policy and guess what?
If I wanted the complete protection that included the mandatory GDPR provisions and California Online Privacy Act (CalOPPA), the policy was no longer free!!
It asked me to pay additional for those provisions.
This goes back to my point that just because it’s FREE, it does not mean it’s good to use.
You get what you pay for and in this case, you get a deficient Privacy Policy that does not protect you completely.
If you want the complete package, you will have to pay for it. Even then I don’t know the legitimacy of this website and whether I can trust that these templates are actually drafted by a real lawyer!
Here’s another free legal template I audited:
This website also offers a FREE Privacy Policy.
It is so generic and basic that after reading the entire policy, I found so many provisions that were missing.
Even their legal basis for processing provisions are so generic that they fail to inform your website visitors under what circumstances their personal information will be disclosed.
Additionally, you have to “pay” for their pro version of the Privacy Policy if you want the complete Cookie and Privacy policies.
Again, FREE is not really free! In both cases, you have to pay for a thorough detailed Privacy Policy if you want the complete protection for your online business.
STILL NOT CONVINCED? HERE’S A THIRD EXAMPLE –
This website is another one that offers a FREE Privacy Policy.
It is the most basic and bare-bones Privacy Policy I’ve ever seen!
You might as well not even have one!
There are no mandatory GDPR provisions in there, no email marketing policy, no comment policy, nothing about HOW your personal information will be used, etc.
It took me less than 5 minutes to complete my review of this Privacy Policy because it’s literally one page, has so many holes and offers no legal protections whatsoever.
Should I keep auditing these free legal templates or you finally get the point!?
Take a look at this blog post where I’ve personally audited quite a few free legal templates to show you how deficient they are and why you shouldn’t trust them to protect you or your business.
Here’s the thing:
While a free legal template may include some good information, these quick cookie-cutter options often fail to address the unique needs of your business.
Most importantly, these free legal documents are not regulated, which means that there is no guarantee that they are up to date or free from errors.
This can leave you and your business exposed to serious and costly legal risks.
Avoid unnecessary legal expenses and trouble by investing in your business today!
As a business lawyer and six-figure blogger myself, I’ve had the honor of helping 10,000+ entrepreneurs go from confused and intimidated by the law to instantly relieved and happy.
How?
Through my affordable legal templates and services here.
And I still work full-time as a lawyer, which means I’m up to date on the law and practice daily when I help my clients at the office.
But today, instead of sharing my opinions about the law.
I’m going to have 50+ entrepreneurs reveal to you why free legal templates suck and share their experiences with you.
These are people who chose to invest in my legal templates instead of going for free legal templates out there because they knew better.
They know that free legal templates are deficient and don’t meet the legal requirements.
So let’s get started!
Why Should You Ditch Your Free Legal Templates and Invest in Legal Templates from a Lawyer Instead? Check out What These Entrepreneurs Have to Say:
Start by watching this video first:
1. Free Legal Templates Don’t Ensure That Your Website Is Legally Compliant
I already showed you above how the free legal templates don’t cover your legal bases.
What would you do if you got sued for copyright violation, not having a proper Privacy Policy or over a legal dispute with a customer?
This is a big fear that all entrepreneurs (bloggers, coaches, freelancers, and others) face as we all work day and night to build our dream business.
Is your website legally compliant? If you have any doubts, it’s time to look at the legal side of your blog or website!
Are you aware that there are 3 legal pages you must have on your website?
These legal pages are in place to protect you as the site owner as well as the people who visit your site.
Whether you’re a new blogger setting up your site, or a long-time entrepreneur seeking extra shield of legal protection for your business, the Legal Bundle includes everything you need to secure your business legally.
What sets the legal templates in this bundle apart from the free legal templates you find on Google?
Find out from Marianna below –
She says,
of course, I found free legal templates but they didn’t make me feel safe.”
Meet Brittanie from the MoneyCoaster who wrote an entire blog post on her bad experience with the free legal templates here.
She says:
Free templates are a quick fix but they don’t quite fix anything. I feel like it’s better to not have any kind of protection than to use these free forms.
The thing is that you run the risk of being fined without the right legal protection.
You know, it really bugs me to even call these things legal templates. I don’t believe that is an accurate representation of these so-called templates.
There are some legal sites that claim to have free forms but come to find out, they’re only free for a trial period or you have to pay to upgrade.”
Meet Marlisa, another blogger who says:
With Amira’s Legal Bundle, I found out that protecting yourself and your blog goes WAY past the typical privacy and disclaimer pages.”
Want more? Here’s what Christa has to say about the free legal templates she found online vs. my legal templates-
Clearly, the free legal templates don’t make your website legally compliant.
Being a lawyer and a blogger, I’ve got a unique understanding and knowledge of online businesses.
Not only are my legal templates super easy to use but I’m also available in my Facebook group to answer your questions for free!

2. Free Legal Templates are not Comprehensive enough to protect you legally
See the big benefit you get with paid legal templates by a lawyer is that you get instant peace of mind knowing your business is protected.
You can then quickly move to focus on your business, which you enjoy anyway.
But with the generic free legal templates, you are constantly left wondering whether your business is secure?
or whether you have the right legal language on your website to cover you in the event of a legal dispute?
or whether these free legal templates are comprehensive enough to cover all your legal bases?
Take a look at how Heather from ‘Flower Child’ felt after purchasing my legal templates:
Marianna from ‘European Slice of Life’ says she learned her lesson the hard way!
Here’s what she had to say after purchasing my legal templates:
First, I had to build my website from scratch and then protect it legally. How on earth am I going to do that? I am not a lawyer. So, found some free templates and went on my merry way.
Honestly? From the beginning, I was not happy with it. I have to change it fast. Started to do my research again.
July was my lucky month. I found Amira at ASelfGuru! Reading her blog posts, I found out that she is a lawyer, blogger and a business coach.
It felt like I hit the jackpot, well in a way I did. Amira put together the Legal Bundle which contained the 3 necessary templates what every blogger has to have on their website.
Without any hesitation, I signed up and purchased it right away.
I can say, the best purchase I have made for my website. It was easy to set it up, just in 25 minutes. Also, Amira included her step by step instruction on how to fill out the templates.”
Izzy from Izzy Matias says these legal templates are the best investment for her blog.
Take a look at why Izzy said NO to free legal templates:
The first time I tried to draft these pages, I had no idea if what I was doing was right.
I found free legal templates online, but I was concerned if these templates were comprehensive.
And would they really protect my blog and biz in the long run?
So when I learned about legal templates for blogs like this legal bundle by Amira, who is a full-time lawyer and blogger, I was so grateful.
And the timing was perfect: I had just gone full-time as a blogger.
While I had the required legal pages set up since launching this blog, I wasn’t sure if they were comprehensive and gave me the full protection I needed.
The more I read and learned about Amira’s legal bundle, I knew I had to invest in it.”
As the team from ‘WpStairs’ stated:
It is very crucial to include each and every legal page for your own safety because once you are down that road it is pretty hard to come back from it.
Therefore, precaution is always better than cure.
Amira provides amazing packages for your website which includes bonuses.”
Dawn from ‘Wild Simple Joy’ shared her experiences with her readers and gave 6 different reasons why free legal templates don’t protect your business in her blog post.
Some of the big reasons she didn’t go for a free legal template was that they confused her, weren’t comprehensive, and wasted lots of time.
She explains:
Amira is committed to bringing affordable legal resources to the everyday person who needs help protecting themselves online, which I think is amazing.”
Jerry from ‘Four Columns of a Balanced Life’ wrote:
John from ‘The Little Dollar’ says he found the free legal templates to have holes and they were poorly written.
He says:
I knew that I needed to get Legally protected if I was going to continue to talk about personal finance and how to make money online.
I did however wait about a month before finally saying that I should make the purchase. I see it was a bit of a mistake on my end, but I managed to get survive.
You see guys I was rolling on those free templates that are poorly written and probably had more holes in them than my plans to become a superhero at age 6. And we all know free when it comes to legal matters is not always your best option.
I needed Real Legal Protection and I needed it soon before one of my posts ended up going viral or something awesome like that.
So I looked more into Amira and found Affordable Legal Protection for a peace of mind and sliver of the cost I found elsewhere. Sign me up!
So, I bought her Legal bundle.”
Listen to this HerPaperRoute’s podcast where I discuss exactly what you need on your website to stay compliant with the law and why free legal templates don’t protect you!
In her blog post, Delaina from The Wild Tart warns you against using the free legal templates!
She says:
Don’t trust the free legal templates.
You might be thinking that you can just find free legal pages online and be done with it. Don’t do it! I would rather pay for legal templates that I know I can trust over ones where I’m crossing my fingers and praying they’ll protect me.
Basically, your options for legal pages are 1. Random free pages found online (NO!) 2. Go to a lawyer and fork out tons of cash for legal pages that might not include wording specific to blogs. OR 3. Amira’s AFFORDABLE legal pages, trusted and used by thousands of bloggers.
Legal stuff can be scary and intimidating. Amira took away so much worry and made the process a lot less overwhelming for me! It also saved me the stress, time, anxiety and expenses of going to a lawyer in person to get these legal pages made.
I can’t even explain how grateful I am to have been recommended to Amira! As a lawyer and a blogger, she has the unique advantage of understanding exactly what a blogger needs to be protected legally.”
3. Free Legal Templates are not quick or easy
Free legal templates are not quick or easy because you have to try to make sense of them on your own!
And if you are not a lawyer, is this really where you want to spend your time?
Come on, we both know this is not the most exciting aspect of your business.
Trying to make sense of a free legal template or creating your website legal pages on your own can lead to a lot of unnecessary stress and frustration.
Not to mention the fact that a simple mistake on your end could leave the entire page invalid, leaving you and your business open to legal risks and repercussions.
That’s why when I created my legal templates, I kept all your problems in mind.
I knew as an entrepreneur, how difficult, confusing and intimidating it can be to make sense of the law and then apply it to your business correctly.
That’s why I promise you, these legal templates won’t suck your time! They are super quick to set up, easy to customize with idiot proof step by step instructions included to prevent any mistakes.
Did you just read that and think to yourself, “Sure, that’s easy for you to say! I know nothing about legal pages, and I’m sure I’ll make a mistake.”
Don’t worry. Lydia from ‘Owl About DIY’ shows you, that these templates are ‘foolproof’!
Lydia also shares why she doesn’t trust the free legal templates saying they won’t protect you in the event of a lawsuit. She also didn’t find them to be easy or quick.
This is what she had to say:
You see, I somehow thought that if I could just grab some free legal templates online, I would be all set. But the truth is, you get what you pay for – and a “free” template is probably not going to save you from a lawsuit. So, I began to research for some REAL legal protection, but everything I found was incredibly expensive – we’re talking legal consultations that can cost a minimum of around $300 an hour!
I don’t know about you, but I certainly didn’t have that much extra cash hanging around. I was beginning to feel extremely discouraged and worried…
And that’s when I heard about The Legal Bundle from Amira at A Self Guru.
Not only was it affordable, but it saved me a HUGE amount of stress and work! “
Lydia isn’t the only one talking about how easy these legal templates are!
Andrew from ‘Fluffy Confidence’ shared his own experience with creating the necessary legal pages on his site and he says:
I instantly searched on the internet for what I could write down, flying through free templates, I found tons of information and documents and I had no clue as to where to start, or what is applicable to my blog. Luckily, I came across Amira’s Legal Bundle package to help me put myself and my blog at ease.”
He went on to add:
I saved so much time and money from Amira who helped me to customize the legal pages suiting my niche. I am honestly so grateful for this encounter, I know I could have spent days or even weeks sorting this out and I have shaved off so much time by trusting Amira.”
Read what else Andrew had to say: Can you relate?
Kale from ‘Steak and Kale’ shared her worries about setting up her legal pages.
In fact, she went as far as purchasing my Starter Legal Bundle here and then waiting for her husband to come home assuming that she would need assistance.
How did that go?
Here’s what she shared:
Kaylee from ‘To Be A Mommy’ explained that she was a careful shopper, wanting to be ‘totally sure’ before making the investment.
She says:
I am so happy to share with you that the process was just as easy as everyone said it would be! The instruction document was very well written, easy to follow, and simple to integrate into my websites. Using the Legal Bundle, I had all of my legal pages up and running in less than 10 minutes! Y’all, this is AMAZING!
This is not the thing you want to cheap out on! Don’t take your chances on a free template.”
Watch how free legal templates gave Alena from Focal Point Matters a headache, wasted days and she finally gave up on them when she found my legal templates.
Watch Alena’s full interview with me below:
Bloggers and entrepreneurs around the globe are discovering the benefits of investing in high-quality paid legal templates written by a lawyer
Take a look at what Richard from the UK had to say:
I strongly believe that you will not find any legal templates that are as detailed, clearly written and provide as much legal protection as the templates in this bundle.
You deserve to have the comfort and total peace of mind that adding these templates to your blog will bring you.“
Read Richard’s full blog post here and check out ‘Blog Fix Live’s interview with Amira Irfan about Legal Docs for your Blog’:
Take a look at what Danielle from Canada has to say below.
In her in-depth review, this is what Danielle from ‘Lustre Lagoon’ wrote about free legal templates:
“If you do a quick search on Google for “free legal templates” or “free legal pages generator”, you’ll get a LOT of results.
But as I’m sure you know, there’s a lot of useless garbage online.
(Sorry to be harsh, but it’s true.)
When I was contemplating whether to buy legal pages or use free ones online, I looked through TONS of free templates.
And I mean tons. (I was reallllly trying to get out of spending MORE money on my blog.)
But here’s what I found:
Free legal templates are not worth it.
They are almost always missing KEY legal information and 99.9% of the time they are not even drafted by real lawyers.
This could potentially put you at risk if, for some reason, you got in legal trouble.”

4. Free Legal Templates Waste A LOT of Time! (Your Time is Money)
Starting your own blog or online business isn’t easy.
You often feel overwhelmed (I know because I have been there!) as we try to navigate branding, website design, accounting/bookkeeping, marketing, boosting traffic, and more.
Rather than wasting HOURS or DAYS trying to figure out the legalese or what you need, why not leverage the knowledge of a professional?
When you purchase professional legal templates that are written by a lawyer, you can be assured that they are the right legal documents to protect you at the end of the day.
This is what lawyers are for! We understand the law and put in the time necessary to create a legal document that will protect you.
In other words, make your life easy 🙂
Just how valuable is your time?
Lisa from ‘Legend of Lisa’ summed it up nicely:
Check out this podcast where I was invited by Mike from ‘Make Time Online’ and this is what he had to say free legal templates:
You have no idea if these free templates apply to your blog and cover all the bases.
You will also need to spend a long time making them appropriate for your blog and checking them to see if they seem right.
But even then, you will likely be guessing (unless you are a lawyer!)”
Heather from ‘Writer’s Life for You’ shared her experience and she said:
Janice from ‘Vitamin Jae’ says:
Buying this Legal Bundle took the stress away from me. I didn’t need to waste time learning what legal jargon I needed to include. Amira has already done all the work! All I had to do was follow her step-by-step instructions on how to customize the bundle to fit my page.”
Your time is valuable, so don’t waste it trying to decipher free legal templates and even then you can’t confidently say your legal pages or contracts are well written to protect you.
Listen to Michelle from ‘Hand Me Down Recipes’:
You shouldn’t just try to protect your blog, you NEED to protect your blog. If you have a blog of your own and you want to take it to the next level, give yourself one less headache by saving more TIME and MONEY in the long run by purchasing her legal bundle!”
Here’s what Liz from Create Blog Cents had to say about her experience with the free legal templates (she calls them useless and a big waste of time!):
I hate spending money on things especially when I think I can take care of it myself. Finally I thought I had hit the jackpot!
I filled in my “free templates” just to find out it was missing half of what it needed to protect me! It was completely useless and I just wasted days, didn’t even write one post. I decided this was enough and I reached out for some real help! That’s when I discovered Amira’s legal bundle!”
Lenore from ‘The Nitty Gritty Travel OT’ sums it up well, stating,
I’m extremely pleased with my purchase, and can now rest assured that my blog is legally compliant. So what are you waiting for?”
5. Free Legal Templates Cost you More Money in the Long Run
While I won’t argue that your time is valuable, there is no denying the fact that we all have our eyes focused on our financial bottom line.
After all, would you be in business if you weren’t, ultimately, looking to make money?
The key to success is learning to find the balance between making smart financial decisions while also ensuring that you are receiving a quality return on your investment.
For example, if you purchase cheap or free legal templates for your online business, what happens if you get into legal trouble? That free legal template is not going to protect you!
You will end up paying a lot more money hiring a lawyer at that time.
So why not avoid all that hassle, financial loss and start your business legally with the right legal templates to begin with?
By purchasing legal templates from a lawyer, you save yourself from expensive ugly lawsuits. It’s a little investment now to avoid hassle, headache and having to spend thousands of dollars later plus wasting a ton of time.
I’m speaking from experience here because my dad as an entrepreneur was sued for $90,000, which could have been easily avoided if he had used a freelance contract like this to work with his freelancer.
Check out what Cathy has to say about cheap or free legal templates – why she decided to upgrade and purchase my legal templates instead:
So, at the bare minimum, begin with my Starter Legal Bundle like Patty from ‘Driven to Peak Consulting’ did and she says:
Not only you get high-quality legal templates at an unbelievably low price as compared to other lawyers, but you also get free support in my Facebook Community here.
As Cate from ‘Sweet & Simple Life’ recently wrote,
Her legal pages are very reasonably priced, and she provides an amazing free community and personal support if you need any help getting your pages set up and published.”
Grace from ‘Blog Blossom’ says:
If you’re trying to writing out your legal pages and you don’t have any knowledge in the legal field, it can be downright confusing to try to come up with the right legal jargon.
So if you were like me when I first started out trying to write out my policies, I did what any normal person does at this day and age when they’re confused.
I searched up free policy templates on Google.
Yay! I thought, when I found that there were a ton of free resources and templates online that I could just fill out and stick onto my blogs.
Well, actually, it was not yay. Looking back now, it was not a great idea and a total waste of time.
Free privacy policy and terms and conditions templates will not fully cover you and ensure you’re protected legally so it’s important to be careful when you take these free templates from the internet. Many of them are not complete, correct, or even written by real lawyers!
Amira’s legal template bundle is a total steal!
It has seriously saved me so much time. Instead of feeling lost and confused and using free but insufficient online templates, these will help you feel more confident that you are legally protected on your blog.”
Think you may find a cheaper alternative?
You’re not alone!
Many bloggers and entrepreneurs take the time to price out their options.
The conclusion?
Kailee from ‘The Helpful Abode’ reveals:
Everyone wants to find a reliable product at a great price.
Chanel from ‘Simply Sagey’ says:
At ASelfGuru, Amira made the purchasing of your affordable templates super easy and hassle-free.
And the customizing of each page was a breeze. She explains everything in detail. I couldn’t believe how easy it was!!”
Take a look at what Brenda from ‘Bunney Girl’ says (by the way, Brenda purchased my Legal Bundle before she even wrote a word on her blog!)
Amira has made it a simple process. A lawyer can cost you over $1000 if you were to have them create the same documents.
Amira has created the “Legal Bundle” to make it easy to get through the legalese without a lot of frustration at a very reasonable price.”
Just how much money can you expect to save by purchasing my legal templates and bundles?
Margaret from ‘Margaret Bourne’ broke it down:
The Legal Bundle is the most cost-effective way to legally protect your blog by ensuring you have the three key legal documents on your site.
If I went to my lawyer (who’s a lovely man, and always very helpful in legal matters), I would have to pay at least triple the amount for ONE of the pages by Amira.”
6. No Lifetime updates with Free Legal Templates
There is a lot of information to stay ahead of when it comes to the laws and policies governing online businesses.
You have to stay ahead of the latest legal policies.
Some of the recent changes that online entrepreneurs have been facing include the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from the EU as well as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA and CalOPPA).
It’s a lot of important legal information to go through on your own, especially if you are not trained as a lawyer.
Free legal templates are often missing these important legal updates as I showed above and if you want the update then guess what?
You will have to pay for them!
But when you purchase professional legal templates for your online business, you get free lifetime updates with my templates here.
So you will not only receive the initial template, but you will also receive updates following major legal policy changes.
This will ensure that your website legal pages and contracts are always up to date!
If you’re worried about the work involved with setting up AND maintaining your website’s legal pages, you’re not alone.
It’s a common concern shared by entrepreneurs.
However, as Alana from ‘Millennial Country Life’ revealed:
Here’s what Sasha had to say about grabbing my Sponsored Posts Contract template:
Amira has really thought of everything with her Sponsored Posts Legal Template!
This template covered every possible situation that may arise including the terms of payment and what to do if either party isn’t happy (which can so easily happen).
What I especially love is that it takes all the “guess-work” out of the negotiations so that you can focus on providing great content and building relationships with brands to grow your business.”
Check out my interview with Sasha from Everyday She’s Sparkling here.
Copyright Infringement
You do know you can’t copy anyone’s legal pages or any other content without permission, right?
Some entrepreneurs don’t know and make the mistakes of copying other people’s stuff and later get sued.
Sheree from Darling Steps says:
I spent a copious amount of hours scouring the internet for free templates — copying and pasting a little bit here and a little bit there. But nothing truly protected all the aspects I needed. And who writes those anyway?!
Or maybe you’re using your favorite bloggers’ legal pages for inspiration?
Friend, that’s even worse! You know why? Because that’s plagiarism.
Yes, even a person’s legal policies are protected and considered their own intellectual property. Legal jargon is not my expertise. I’m not a lawyer, and I wouldn’t pretend to be one.
So why was I wasting my time doing just that? Is that what you’re doing as well?
Amira kept her word (free updates) and updated the templates in a timely fashion to be sure her clients were protected in the best way.
And again, she made it stupid easy. (She even included the update right inside of the email for us lazy ones that couldn’t be bothered with logging into our account and downloading the new templates lol) It’s so straightforward and nearly effortless.
I can’t stress that enough and I’m certainly not overstating. (Amira has a ton of reviews to back it up) She’s the real deal — a lawyer by day, bada*s blogger by night.
And as if all that wasn’t enough on its own, she has a private Facebook group where you can get any help you need. If you find you do need it, she’s there, very active might I add.”
7. Free Legal Templates Don’t Come with Private Community Support
By now, it’s obvious how much you need legal and business support to ensure compliance with the laws.
With free legal templates, you are literally on an island of your own.
You have no community support and even if you are asking questions online, can you really rely on that advice or information?
For example, let’s say you post a question about a Privacy Policy in a Facebook group and some people respond.
You have to ask yourself, are these people qualified to give you legal advice or information?
Are they lawyers who are familiar with the legal requirements that impact your business?
If not, then you need to think before you heed someone’s advice!
That’s another big benefit of paid legal templates written by a lawyer and where free legal templates fail miserably.
With my legal templates, you not only get free lifetime updates but you also get private community support in my Facebook group where you have access to me at all times to ask your questions and get answers!
This alone makes it a no-brainer to grab my legal templates.
Take a look at what Valerie had to say about this kind of support:
What other Legal Contract Templates and Bundles You Need Besides Website Legal Pages?
If you have already made your website legal, there’s more to consider.
Depending on the industry that you are working in or the scope of your work, you will need additional legal templates to run your online business.
This may include legal contracts like:
- Guest Blogger Agreement – learn more about it here
- Confidentiality Agreement
- Website Design Agreement
- Sponsored Post Contract
- Freelance Contract
- Media Release Agreement – learn more about it here
- Website Sale Agreement
- Affiliate Agreement (for your own affiliate program)
- Giveaways Sweepstakes Legal Template
- LLC Operating Agreement
- and more!
Check out 16 different DIY Legal Templates in this blog post.
Look at what Rebecca from ‘Write to Six Figures’ says about my Freelance contract template:
Amira is a bona fide attorney and an expert on how to legally run a business. Her Independent Contractor Template is extremely comprehensive and covers all of the most important things you’d need and want to include in a freelance writer contract. The template is insanely affordable, costing you about a third of what you’d pay a lawyer for just one hour of their time to draft a contract.”
While explaining the importance of having a solid Freelance Contract, Drew from ‘Drew DuBoff’ stated:
Now, unlike most lawyers, Amira doesn’t charge an arm and a leg for her freelance contract template. She believes in empowering small business owners to protect themselves legally and sees you through the entire process. Her customer service is impeccable!”
Nadia from ‘Speaking of Cents’ adds:
Amira is a lawyer by profession but she is killing it with the help she has been offering to the Blogger community. I have seen her growth over the past year and I can undoubtedly call her ‘The queen of Legal Side of Blogging’. The level of professionalism is impressive and her legal templates range comprises of anything and everything you might need in an online business world.”
Jessica from ‘Jessica Dukharan’ says:
Chelsea from ‘HerPaperRoute’ says it well:
You will be able to sleep easy knowing that your business’s most essential legal needs are in order.”
Isn’t that what we all want?
As a virtual assistant, Adrian from Help For New Bloggers couldn’t believe that some of her clients don’t even use a contract, so she decided to use her own freelance contract that she purchased from me.
Here’s what she had to say:
“I work as a Virtual Assistant (VA) and I’m constantly amazed at the number of my clients that do not use contracts for their legal protection. So, I choose to protect myself by having my own contracts because I don’t want to get sued by an angry client if something goes wrong.
You might be able to get these items off the internet for cheap or maybe even free, but you have no idea if they are legally compliant.
With Amira’s Legal bundle, you are assured that they are legal because they have been drafted by an actual lawyer.
Don’t take a chance of putting non-compliant policies on your website; get this pack of legal templates, with bonuses included!
Conclusion – Free Legal Templates Suck For Your Business
You read 50+ entrepreneurs talk about why they chose to invest in paid legal templates vs. the free legal templates out there that don’t protect your business.
There are 10,000 more entrepreneurs who have made the smart decision to invest in my legal templates.

But I don’t think you need more convincing, do you?
It’s obvious that you are putting yourself and your business at risk with free legal templates.
At the end of the day, we all want to sleep peacefully at nights knowing our business is protected.
But free legal templates rob you from that security, protection or peace of mind.
They also don’t make it easy to comply with all the laws and you end up wasting tons of valuable time trying to make sense of them!
There are no lifetime updates with free legal templates and they also don’t come with any legal support from a lawyer such as my Facebook community here.
So are you ready to take action and protect your online business legally and gain instant peace of mind?

Amira your templates have saved me tons of hours and headache! Protecting legally and have the correct legal jargon for bloggers is super important and a must! Thank you for what you do!
That’s so great to hear, Fab!! Thank you for your kind words 🙂
I’m not sure who introduced me to you last year but I should give them a giant hug because I NEVER would have actually started blogging seriously without your legal templates. I searched some online looking for free templates but knew that it was important that I used the right legal pages to save me from disaster. It was one of the best investments that I made in my blog! You found a need and a solution that helps so many people. Thank you!
Aww thank you so much, Heather! I’m so glad I was able to help you start your blog legally, and thank you for purchasing my legal templates 🙂
Thanks for writing this post. I agree that free legal templates are not helpful since they tend to be too generic and not specific to business type. Also, I’ve noticed that the free legal templates are not always completely free – the most important information, such as working with affiliates, etc. are not available unless you pay for that information. Even then, I’m sure the information is generic. I plan to get your legal templates (the starter legal bundle) soon.
Yes, you are so right about everything, Crystal. That’s exactly what I found when I audited the free legal templates above – you do have to pay to get additional legal protections and even then, you don’t know whether these templates are vetted or written by a lawyer. Thank you for looking into my Starter Legal Bundle and grabbing it soon 🙂 You will love how much it will save you time and money (not to mention how easy and quick it is too!)
Amira!! Thank you for sharing my testimony.
I was serious whenever I said it was CRAZY EASY! You really did do all of the work for me! I am still thankful! 🙂
YAY!! That’s what I’m here for 🙂 Thank you for your lovely feedback, Kale!!

Thanks, Chelsea! Couldn’t agree more with you 🙂
Thank you Amira for giving bloggers peace of mind! I had to purchase your legal page templates a month before I even launched my blog because I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night! You were so helpful in answering the questions I had specific to my niche and occupation as well.
Thank you, Tana! I’m happy to help always. You were so smart to purchase my legal templates BEFORE launching your blog 🙂
So thankful to have found your legal templates to protect my blog & biz. It’s really the best legal investment I made! 🙂
Yay! So glad to hear this, Izzy and thank you for purchasing my legal templates 🙂
Definitely! That’s one thing every blogger and business owners must know.
So true, Arfa! So happy to see you using my legal templates to protect your blog 🙂
I know I didn’t want to trust the free legal templates, which is exactly why I purchased Amira’s templates early on! I could trust that they were prepared properly, and was able to save myself weeks of work by doing so!
Aww this is so great to hear, Joe! You are such a smart entrepreneur! Thank you so much for purchasing my legal templates 🙂
