Clause Bank for New, Growing & Boutique Firms

The Smarter Drafter Clause Bank becomes your new knowledge management solution - it's everything everything your firm has ever asked for.

Access when your team needs it

Find and insert a clause into a document, without ever leaving Microsoft Word

Add Clause

Find what you need fast
Built-in filtering by practice area, jurisdiction, and meta tags further simplifies finding the right clause. Alternatively, utilise the weighted search to find documents by clause name, description or clause content.

AI-Enabled
As the clause bank expands, the AI-enabled vector search feature understands the semantic meaning behind your queries. This means you can now find clauses that are contextually related to your search terms, even if they don't contain the exact keywords you used.

Preview before you add
Before adding a clause to a document, ensure it’s the right one. Click Preview to see the entire clause and who authored the clause beforehand, eliminating the need for back and forth.

Add a clause in seconds
Clicking Insert adds the entire clause directly into your current document. The clause appears instantly wherever your cursor is positioned. The clause is inserted continuing the numbering and formatting of the document. Macros can also be included in clauses to add matter specific detail after insertion.

Manage Clauses

Create a Firm-Wide Clause Bank

Have your team submit clauses as they draft

Manage Clauses

As easy as copy and paste
Submitting a clause no longer has to be an afterthought or additional task. Once a clause has been drafted, it can be submitted by the user directly from Word. All that is required is to answer a few simple questions - Clause Name and Practice Area are mandatory, while jurisdiction and description are optional.

Stay Organised
The review and approval process also ensures that appropriate names, descriptions, meta tags, jurisdiction and practice area labels are applied to every clause that is published to the team. Review and archive dates can also be applied at the time of publication to ensure that time sensitive content is always controlled.

Approved and Available on the Microsoft Store

Easy Deployment through Microsoft Word and Microsoft Office 365

Office 365 and Smarter Drafter

Streamlined Deployment
Clause Bank is distributed via the Smarter Drafter ad in Microsoft Word. The app can be added to a firm's M365 instances and effortlessly deployed across the firm’s network. This centralised approach enhances accessibility and security while simplifying updates and maintenance.

Active Directory
By linking to Active Directory, clause libraries are automatically limited to specific teams.

Cross Check with AI
The AI-enabled natural language question and answer allows administrators to quickly search Clause Bank to ensure submissions are not duplicated, or if superseded content requires archiving.

Review and Approve
Each practice area has selected ‘Administrators’ to review and approve Clauses for firm-wide use. In-product and email notifications alert administrators to new submissions that can then be curated ensuring accuracy and brand consistency are adhered to

Single-source of truth
For firms who have already collated a centralised collection of clauses, Smarter Drafter can integrate with leading Document Management solutions such as iManage to populate the Clause Bank.

Similarly, any content submitted and approved in Clause bank is automatically synchronised back to your central document management solution.
