Tensis is excited to announce a new strategic partnership with Legal Accounting & Practice Management (LAPM), a move designed to deliver even greater support for Australia’s law firms using Smarter Drafter.
LAPM is a trusted name in the Australian legal tech community, with years of experience supporting law firms across the country. Known for their deep understanding of legal practice needs and hands-on expertise across many leading practice management platforms, LAPM was the natural choice as Tensis looked to strengthen local support for the Australian market.
Expanding Support Through a Partner-Led Model
At Tensis, we’ve been steadily scaling our global footprint through a partner-led growth strategy. Our Smarter Drafter Pro solution, built for mid-tier and major law firms, is already supported by a network of international reseller partners.
Now, we’re applying that same approach to Smarter Drafter in Australia, the version designed specifically for smaller and growing firms. This platform delivers a curated library of pre-automated legal precedents, helping firms save time, reduce errors, and focus on what matters most: their clients.
Under the Smarter Drafter brand, LAPM has taken the lead on local sales, customer success, and support for Australian users.
A Partnership Built on Experience and Alignment
“LAPM were the logical choice,” says Steve Hantos, CEO of Tensis.
“Lana and her team intimately know this segment of the market. We’ve been working together for three months now to make sure our systems, processes and teams are aligned. and it’s just worked.”
By combining LAPM’s market knowledge with Tensis’s proven technology, the partnership ensures Australian firms continue to receive the high-quality service they expect, now with the added benefit of specialist legal tech expertise from a team that knows the local landscape inside and out.
The collaboration goes deeper than just customer support, LAPM is now working directly with the Tensis content team to expand and refine the pre-built precedents available to Australian law firms.
Why This Matters for Australian Firms
“We’ve worked with a wide range of legal tech tools and law firm clients over the years, and Smarter Drafter stands out for how quickly it delivers value,” says Lana Lake, CEO of LAPM.
“It’s a great fit for the firms we support, and it’s been a smooth and productive partnership with the Tensis team from day one.”
With this partnership in place, Smarter Drafter users can look forward to:
- Local expertise – Support from a team that understands the unique needs of the Australian legal market.
- Faster onboarding – Seamless setup and integration into existing workflows.
- Continued quality content – Constantly updated precedents designed for growing firms.
All of this is delivered through a platform designed to grow alongside the firms that use it.
The Future Looks Bright
This collaboration represents more than just a distribution agreement. It’s a shared commitment to helping smaller law firms access the same automation power as their larger counterparts, without sacrificing personal service.
And in case you’re wondering, yes, the LAPM team really does look like a cool indie band about to drop an album on legal transformation – we’ve got the merch photos to prove it.
