Advanced Document Assembly

The time spent creating documents is dramatically reduced with Smarter Drafter. Whether you’re leveraging automated templates, accessing the Smarter Clauses, or utilising the complete system, enhance your document production with Smarter Drafter.

Users are guided step-by-step through the creation process, with the document dynamically adapting to their inputs for seamless and accurate results.

Advanced Document Assembly

Dynamic Questionnaire

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.

Build-In Guidance

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

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.

Repeatable Content

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.

Pronouns

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.

Pluralisation

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."

Smarter Find and Replace

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.

Smarter Find and Replace

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 the precedent library are included, and the correct clauses are applied in all instances.

Underpinned by integrations

We are waging war on rekeying. Integrate with CRM for document 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).
