Invite your clients
Why wait for a face-to-face meeting? Have your clients complete an online Q+A on any device. Your clients can provide you with the exact instructions you need for their matter.

Automatically Populated Forms
Never rekey again. All of the instructions your client has provided are automatically added to the document in Smarter Drafter. The pre-population of instruction data will dramatically reduce your drafting time.

The right data, every time
Smarter Drafter’s online Q+A form checks addresses against Google Maps and ABN details with the Australian Business Registry for absolute accuracy every time. In-built data validation also ensures your dates and calculations are always right.

Underpinned by integrations

As with all content produced by Smarter Drafter, all FLENA precedents are underpinned by integration with your firm's practice management solution. Avoid the mistakes linked to rekeying and 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).
