Legal forms

Our present range of legal forms is the largest and most comprehensive we have ever produced: over 1,700 forms are listed and available under the categories on the right of this page.

They include virtually all forms in common use, as well as many others that are needed from time to time but are difficult to track down. Most items are available by return, from stock.

Although primarily purchased by professionals in multiples of 25*, we are happy to supply any of these forms to individual customers in smaller quantities. However, to cover the costs of administration, a small order processing charge of £6.90 + VAT applies to orders of under 25 forms, unless the total basket value is over £25.

*Over 25 forms are sold in multiples of 25 only.

Remember, you do not have to order on-line. All items on this website may be ordered over the telephone (or by fax or email for account holders) at the same prices. Simply call 01322 621100 (fax 01322 550553, email sales@shaws.co.uk).
