Is it illegal to copy someone’s contract?

Question by Dog_person: Is it illegal to copy someone’s contract?
I am an art dealer and I need to make a contract between me and the artist. I have a contract written by other company and I want to copy exactly the same except change company’s name and logo. Is it illegal?

No, that’s fine. Contracts are copied word for word all the time. It’s commonly known as “boilerplate” text.

Just make sure you’ve deleted ALL references to the other company, and make sure the contract says exactly what you and the artist want it to say.
