The Top 5 Features of Our Legal Drafting Software That You Can't Live Without

As a law firm associate, the pain points are real. 

‍

What if we told you that there was a way to make them less painful? 

‍

Read on. 

‍

1. Accuracy under pressure

The life of an associate is dominated by looming deadlines and the relentless demands of multiple partners and clients. 

‍

In this high-stress environment, accuracy in complex contracts and legal documents is absolutely crucial, but extremely challenging.

‍

Billing timesheet pressure, countless redlines to review, and never-ending rushed requests make it incredibly difficult to stay focused. One missed clause or mistaken defined term can have serious consequences.

‍

You need a drafting solution that acts as a safety net - automatically cross-checking provisions, defined terms, and clause references to catch errors before they prove costly. Advanced AI capabilities should provide guided accuracy under the most intense workloads.

Solution: Definely Draft: Working across multiple documents  

‍

When information is scattered across different documents, Draft allows you to link multiple documents together so that you can understand and edit the information and update this across every document you’re working on.

‍

2. Impressing partners and clients 

‍

Associates strive to impress partners and clients with impeccable work. We could bore you by telling you how great we believe Definely Draft is. How it helps you create polished professional documents that reflect your expertise. But why should we do that - when instead we could let one of our valued customers share their experience of using Definely Draft! 

‍

“Running Definely is the first thing I do when opening a contract. It is both a tool for reviewing and proofing a contract, but more importantly, a tool that I use in real-time when drafting and constructing a contract. This is what sets it apart.” Definely has significantly improved my efficiency and accuracy when it comes to drafting and reviewing contracts. It reduces time spent scrolling/turning pages between various sections of the document, it updates in real-time and the analysis of defined terms and cross-references is very accurate.” - Ben Brooks, Associate at A&O Shearman.

‍

Solution: Definely Draft: Double-click defined terms & references  

‍

Access and understand the meaning of any defined term or cross-reference across your legal document without ever moving away from your position in your document.

‍

The Definely Side Panel displays all the information you need to understand the clause or provision you are reviewing.

3. Managing High Workloads

When the volume of work is high, stress can rise accordingly. 

You need drafting technology designed to streamline the entire process from start to finish. Software that actually simplifies the drafting process, allowing you to manage your workload more effectively. 

By automating repetitive tasks and providing intuitive tools, you can reduce stress and focus on delivering top-notch legal work.

Solution: Definely Draft: Split screen

‍

Pop-out windows and split screens allow lawyers to keep their context while reviewing and editing the provision they’re working on. Edits become smoother and these windows also help in the search for definitions. Flagging any undefined or unused terms in the document makes reviewing easy.

‍

4. Maintaining Consistency

Consistency is crucial. Even minor variations in formatting or language across documents can lead to confusion, delays, and potentially costly errors.

As an associate, you're expected to maintain a high level of consistency across all the legal documents you produce. However, with the constant juggling of multiple projects, deadlines, and demands from various partners and clients, achieving this level of uniformity can be a daunting task.

That's where Definely Draft shines. Our cutting-edge drafting solution is designed to help you maintain a seamless level of consistency across all your legal documents, from contracts to agreements, and everything in between.

Solution: Definely Draft: Automated Style 

Definely Draft's advanced AI capabilities automatically enforce your firm's preferred styles and conventions, ensuring that every document you produce adheres to the same formatting standards. Say goodbye to the tedious task of manually checking and adjusting formatting across multiple documents – Definely Draft takes care of it for you.

Moreover, our software's intelligent language analysis tools help you maintain consistency in legal terminology and phrasing, eliminating the risk of inadvertent variations that could lead to ambiguity or misinterpretation.

By leveraging Definely Draft's consistency-enhancing features, you can focus on what truly matters: delivering high-quality legal work that meets the exacting standards of your partners and clients, without sacrificing efficiency or accuracy.

Don't let inconsistencies undermine your hard work and reputation. Embrace Definely Draft and experience the peace of mind that comes with knowing your legal documents are polished, precise, and perfectly aligned with your firm's standards.

5. Multiple systems

Juggling multiple software systems and tools, copying and pasting information, and ensuring data consistency across platforms can be a massive time sink – and a potential source of costly errors.

Switching between systems is always a headache, disrupting your workflow and sapping your productivity. You need a drafting solution that seamlessly integrates with the tools and systems you already use, eliminating the need for constant context-switching and data transfer.

Solution: Definely Draft: Intuitive integrations

Seamless LegalTech integration means your law firm doesn’t have to incur the additional costs of purchasing extra software to ensure compatibility with a new drafting solution. 

Drafting software that can be plugged directly into Microsoft Word is much more valuable because the Microsoft Suite is likely already used by your firm. This creates a simplified workload and a smoother onboarding process. It also means lawyers can work across multiple documents and integrate with track changes.
