Summary of Legal Simple Contracts
The ServiceNow® Legal Simple Contracts application enables employees to submit legal requests to obtain support and guidance for contract-related matters. Typical use cases include requests for creating Non-disclosure Agreements (NDAs) with third parties or reviewing sales and third-party contracts. The legal department can manage and process these requests centrally, streamlining contract-related workflows.

Important: Legal Simple Contracts is being prepared for deprecation. It will no longer be available for activation for new customers but will continue to be supported for existing customers. ServiceNow recommends transitioning to the Contract Management Pro application, a paid solution that integrates tightly with Legal Service Delivery and offers comprehensive contract lifecycle management capabilities.
Migration Considerations
Contract Management Pro for Legal Service Delivery offers enhanced features compared to Legal Simple Contracts, including:
- Clause management with a library of clauses and variations.
- Clause variations in Microsoft Word templates for dynamic content placement based on conditions.
- Support for reviewing and finalizing multiple contract documents within a single request.
To leverage these features, customers must migrate their Legal Simple Contracts data to Contract Management Pro, which requires a separate license and installation.
