Definitive Guide to Document Automation

01:12

Legal document automation isn’t scary. Automating the creation of documents isn’t intended to replace, minimise or threaten what lawyers do. Lawyers always have been, and always will be, the guardians of the legal documents that form the basis of all business; but by automating certain parts of the process, they can be liberated to focus on elements of the role that add real value.

But where to start? Document automation can bring speed, efficiency, consistency, lower risk and lower costs – but how do lawyers, whether in-house and in private practice, start to realise those benefits? How do we define the key terms, how does the process work, and which documents are suitable? What can we learn from the early adopters about getting buy-in, implementing solutions and measuring ROI?

Part one of this guide explains what legal document automation is, how it works, educates you on all of the jargon that surrounds it, and gives real case studies of automation currently in use.
