Legal practice automatization is a multifaceted process that includes a range of tools and systems. To reap the maximum benefits begin by identifying which processes are the most amenable to automation. Some of the most common areas to begin with include document creation, document review and client intake scheduling, marketing campaigns.
A good legal document automation software solution allows attorneys to quickly generate custom documents for each matter and client without the need to manually input information. Document generation is more accurate and time-saving by using templates for pleadings and discovery requests. Additionally to that, integrating your document automation program with legal practice management software will eliminate the need to record the time that is billable manually. Instead, when an document is created it’s automatically filed to the correct case and client file based on the corresponding data inputs.
AI is a favorite among lawyers because it liberates them from the repetitive boring tasks that comprise the majority of their jobs. In the absence of low-level tasks they can concentrate on the imaginative and intelligent analysis that is the hallmark of competent and ethical representation.
Clients are also pleased with the speed at the way their issues are handled in comparison to the traditional client experience of lengthy meetings to collect and verify information. The ability to create accurate customized documents and streamline communications with clients using a single, integrated system improves the experience for clients, increasing satisfaction, retention and referrals.
