From Law Firms to Legal Departments: Why In-House Counsel Are Turning to Smarter Drafter

General Counsel are being asked to do more with less — and it’s not just a mantra anymore, it’s a mandate.

Smarter Drafter has long been the go-to automation platform for law firms across Australia. But over the past 12 months, we’ve seen something exciting: a sharp rise in interest from in-house legal teams.

And it’s no surprise.

In-house teams are under pressure like never before. The volume of work is growing. The complexity is rising. But budgets and headcount? Not so much.

That’s why we’ve released a brand-new eBook: “Do Even More with Even Less” — tailored specifically for in-house legal teams looking to bring control back in-house and build scalable systems that actually work.

eBook - Open

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Unclog the pipeline of routine work — by automating NDAs, leases, contracts, and other low-complexity documents

  • Scale your senior team’s expertise across the department — enabling junior team members to confidently handle more, with senior counsel focusing on strategic work

  • Enable business self-service — without losing control — give your business teams access to routine legal documents, while maintaining full visibility and control

  • Build scalable, secure systems that IT actually supports — choose a platform that fits within your existing tech stack, with full security and compliance

So if you’re part of an in-house team looking to speed things up, stay in control, and make a bigger impact — this one’s for you.
