Practice Systems Expertise 
 
We help you create professional-looking documents in a fraction of the time it takes using word processing software alone. The documents are smarter, standardized and more accurate.
 
 
With more than 20 years of legal automation experience, we have built systems in dozens of practice areas for thousands of clients. The systems include commercial practice systems that are marketed to law firms and other professionals and custom applications for law firms, corporate law departments and financial institutions.
 
We use state-of-the-art document assembly software and tools to build practice systems with smart interviews that gather information from users and databases and construct complex documents that are carefully marked up to insert appropriate language and format and fill information in the required places. Combining document assembly technology with databases, case management, accounting and document management systems results in end-to-end practice automation.
 
We're also developing tools that can help you to manage and rapidly deploy sophisticated practice systems. You can use these tools to select from thousands of preconfigured components using standardized naming conventions and drop them into templates.
 
How Practice Systems Benefit You
 
Automated practice systems offer many benefits including:
  • Standardized interviews that gather information intelligently and act as checklists to ensure that necessary information has been captured
  • Validation of dates, numbers and text values to ensure accuracy and consistency
  • Dramatically reduced document preparation time; complex documents are assembled in seconds once the information has been gathered
  • Standardization of templates and document language
  • Information captured in one document can be re-used in subsequent documents on the same matter
  • Data can be pulled from databases into documents
  • Embedded help guides users through the process of creating documents.
  • The systems allow work to be performed at the right level within a firm since intellectual property of the senior practitioners is captured in the systems enabling less senior staff to be actively involved in the preparation of complex documents.
