Making contract management simpler

Docue's story began in 2015, when Marko Teppo had the idea of automating contract templates for companies. As an experienced lawyer and entrepreneur, he knew how painful it was for companies to keep juggling Word templates while trying to keep contracts under control. The gap was especially clear for fast-growing and mid-sized companies, where heavy enterprise systems often did not fit.

Besides making day-to-day contract work easier for companies, Teppo wanted to help them stay prepared for a future exit. As a lawyer, he had seen many difficult M&A negotiations where important contracts in the target company turned out to be poorly drafted, inconsistent or missing. For a buyer, that creates risk and can become a reason to reduce the price or walk away from the deal altogether.

That idea became Docue: a service that helps companies automate and standardise their contract templates, then draft, sign and manage contracts in one place.

Unlike most contract management providers, Docue has deep expertise in legal document content. Docue's lawyers maintain over 700 document templates and 10,000+ clauses, giving users an excellent starting point for drafting high-quality contracts that read as if drafted by a lawyer.

We want to keep getting better. Our unique contract library, combined with AI features released in 2026, gives users something close to superpowers for contract drafting and managing legal obligations. Docue's original goal of smoother contract management is stronger than ever.
