Often as necessary as the contract itself are the amendments. Amendments can be used any time you need to make an addition or alteration to the contract that does not substantially alter the original contract.

The contract management capability allows you to record various amendments while retaining the original contract.

In this article:

To add an amendment, navigate to the Amendments tab within a contract and click the + Add Amendment button.

This enables you to generate a new contract file (i.e., an addendum to the original), following the same contract-creation process as the original. You can use LawVu's contract wizard or upload the amended version.

The amended contract appears in the Amendments tab.

Note: The amendment contract will automatically inherit the named members on the original contract. Any changes made to the members' list (add or remove) will automatically carry over to the amendment as well.

Amendments will not appear in your standard contract grid, even if they started as standalone contracts. Once designated an amendment, a contract no longer appears there.

To view amendments, add the Amendment Count column to your Contracts grid using the attribute selector button.

This column contains a numerical value representing the number of amendments to each contract. Hovering your cursor over the number activates a pop-up that you can click to access the amendment.
