Scalable to meet the needs of every firm
We understand that no two law firms are the same. That the needs of a firm just starting out are completely different to a firm with 500 fee earners. That’s why Smarter Drafter is built to meet the needs of your firm as you grow.
From providing top-tier and specialised precedents to the ability to author your own bespoke content for a globally distributed team, Smarter Drafter has you covered.

Implementation Partners
Our ecosystem of Partners manages the entire implementation lifecycle of
Smarter Drafter for mid and major-sized law firms.
From procurement and implementation to project management and training,
they tailor solutions to your specific needs.
State-of-the-art Document Assembly
Meet the unique needs of each client while maintaining both legal compliance and firm branding.
Whether the precedents are provided by Smarter Drafter (Australia Only), through a third-party specialist content partner or curated by a firm using the ‘Build Your Own’ capability, the time spent drafting is dramatically reduced when using Smarter Drafter.
Users are guided step-by-step through the creation process with the client document dynamically adapting the answers provided
Dynamic Questionnaire
The online Q&A form guides users through every precedent step-by-step, dynamically adapting to their answers and prompting for the required information to complete the client document. If a user answers 'yes' to a specific question, further details are requested; if 'no', the system skips ahead seamlessly.
Built-in Guidance
At every stage, users receive continuous support with on-screen prompts, tips, and definitions relevant to the section of the precedent being completed. This built-in guidance ensures that users have the necessary assistance and information to accurately complete their documents.
Clause Inclusion / Exclusion
The client document is assembled to include or exclude specific clauses and paragraphs based on the answers given in the Q&A form. Each included clause is automatically formatted, numbered, and populated with relevant data variables, such as client or matter details.
Pluralisation
The Q&A form detects the required pluralisation and applies it instantly throughout the client document. Examples include changing "Claimant" to "Claimants," "Defendant" to "Defendants," and "Child" to "Children."
Pronouns
The selected pronoun is applied consistently throughout the client document, ensuring accuracy and uniformity. This feature helps maintain proper pronoun usage based on the context provided.
Repeatable Content
The software efficiently processes and formats repeating data, regardless of the amount, ensuring correct insertion and adherence to formatting rules. This intelligent feature handles any quantity of data, from a few instances to hundreds, maintaining proper numbering and structure throughout the document.

Smarter than Find and Replace
The law can be complex in a way that simple ‘if this, then that’ automation logic simply cannot cover. Conditionality underpins all stages of the document assembly process within Smarter Drafter, ensuring that complex scenarios (e.g. if this and this and not that) can be built directly into the automation.
Questionnaire
Based on the answers provided, the conditionality changes the next questions presented (or not) to the client. The conditionality can be applied down to the values within a dropdown field, the radio buttons that can be selected, the minimum dollar amount entered, or the earliest date that can be entered.
Guidance
Smarter Drafter guides both lawyers and clients through every step in a matter.
The guidance delivered on screen can also be conditionally updated based on the scenario.
Document and Clause Inclusion
Conditionality within Smarter Drafter drives the drafting outcome, ensuring that all necessary documents from precedent library are included and the correct clauses are applied in all instances.
A complete document workflow with the lawyer always in the loop
Uniquely Smarter Drafter is a complete end-to-end solution. From online instruction-taking that populates precedent data, to the ability to finalise and add additional bespoke clauses in MS Word to a fully integrated eSignature capability.
Smarter Drafter can effectively eliminate up to 5 systems that have traditionally been daisy-chained together to deliver the same outcome.
Underpinned by integrations
We are waging war on rekeying. Integrate with your practice management system (PMS) for matter details, Google Maps for accurate addresses and the Australian Business Register for the correct company details.
At the end of the process save your completed documents directly to your document management system (DMS).
