Frequently Asked Questions

What is LegalDoc?

LegalDoc (a product of Hana Hadasa Limited RC: 9445421) is a Nigerian legal document platform that gives individuals and businesses instant access to professionally drafted legal documents. Every document on the platform has been prepared by qualified Nigerian lawyers, so you're not working with generic templates pulled from the internet — you're getting documents that reflect Nigerian law and practice. Beyond documents, LegalDoc also helps you register your business with the CAC, file annual returns, and protect your intellectual property.

How does LegalDoc work?

It's a straightforward three-step process. First, you select the document you need from our library. Second, you answer a short set of questions about your specific situation — the parties involved, key terms, dates, and any other relevant details. Third, the platform generates your personalised document, which you can preview and then download. The whole process typically takes less than ten minutes.

Are the documents on LegalDoc valid in Nigeria?

Yes. All documents on LegalDoc are drafted for use in Nigeria (and even internationally in many cases) and they are based on applicable Nigerian laws. Whether it's a tenancy agreement governed by Lagos State tenancy law or an NDA structured around Nigerian contract principles, the documents are designed to hold up in the Nigerian legal environment. That said, for particularly high-stakes or complex situations, we always recommend working with a lawyer alongside any document you generate.

Who drafts the documents on LegalDoc?

Every document in the LegalDoc library has been drafted by qualified Nigerian legal practitioners and reviewed by a second set of legal eyes before being made available on the platform. This isn't a one-lawyer operation — the documents go through a quality control process to ensure they are accurate, comprehensive, and compliant with relevant Nigerian laws.

How much does it cost to generate a legal document?

Pricing varies depending on the document type (with the highest at N10,000). Each document page displays the price clearly before you begin filling out the form, so you always know what you're paying before you commit. LegalDoc is designed to be significantly more affordable than engaging a lawyer to draft the same document from scratch.

How do I pay for a legal document?

You can pay securely via Paystack using your debit card or bank transfer. For users who prefer direct bank transfer, that option is also available; Payments are processed by HANA HADASA LIMITED, the company behind LegalDoc.ng. The payment details are provided at the checkout stage. Once your payment is confirmed, your document is made available for download immediately.

Can I preview my document before paying?

Yes. LegalDoc gives you a preview of your generated document before you complete payment. This way, you can review the content, check that your details have been captured correctly, and make sure the document meets your needs before you pay for the download.

What happens after i pay; how do I receive my document?

Once your payment is confirmed, your personalised document is available for immediate download and sent to the email address you provided. It comes as a PDF that you can save, print, and use straight away. Make sure to save a copy in a secure location; and where the document requires signatures from both parties, remember that it only becomes legally binding once it has been properly executed.

Can I make changes to a document after I've downloaded it?

The document you download is a PDF, which means it's not directly editable in the way a Word document would be. If you need to make changes after downloading — for example, if a detail was entered incorrectly — the best approach is to contact our support team via email or WhatsApp and we'll help you resolve it. This is also why the preview step matters: always review carefully before completing payment.

Employee warning letter

This is a formal document issued by an employer to notify an employee about performance issues, policy violations, or inappropriate behavior. Its purpose is to address the concern, set clear expectations, and provide the employee with an opportunity to improve their conduct or performance. It’s a key step in disciplinary procedures, aiming to correct issues before they escalate to more severe actions, such as suspension or termination.

Key Components of an Employee Warning Letter

Details of the Infraction:

A crucial part of an employee warning letter is a clear explanation of the specific issue (e.g., repeated tardiness, missed deadlines, policy violation) and the date(s) on which the incident(s) occurred.

Reference to Company Policy:

The letter also includes a reminder of the relevant company policies, rules, or standards that were breached.

Impact Statement:

An outline of how the issue affects the team, the company, or the individual’s performance is vital in any employee warning letter.

Corrective Actions:

Clear expectations for improvement, including any specific steps the employee must take or behaviors they must change, should be detailed in this document.

Consequences:

A statement of potential disciplinary actions if the behavior or performance does not improve, such as additional warnings, suspension, or termination, is an essential component of an employee warning letter.

Support Options:

Additionally, information on available resources or support, such as access to HR or training, can assist the employee in meeting expectations set forth in the warning letter.

Purpose of an Employee Warning Letter

This letter provides a written record of the issue, helping both employer and employee track progress and monitor improvements. It also protects the employer by documenting attempts to address the problem constructively, which can be important if further action is needed in the future. This document encourages accountability, promotes transparency, and gives the employee a chance to rectify the situation.
