Workflow
Document Drafting & Automation
From first draft to execution — contracts, pleadings, templates, and AI-assisted authoring.
Drafting is where legal professionals spend significant billable hours. This workflow covers contract authoring (NDAs, MSAs, SaaS agreements), pleading preparation, correspondence, template management, clause libraries, and the growing wave of AI-assisted drafting tools. The gap between "Word + manual" and purpose-built CLM is where most tool decisions happen.

pp-0002 Contract redlining is a nightmare — 7 rounds of Track Changes in Word, counterparty turns off tracking, and nobody knows what changed between v5 and v7 9 vendors pp-0003 NDAs and routine contracts take 3-7 days because every single one routes through legal — no self-service for standard terms 8 vendors pp-0029 Small firm creates the same lease, will, motion to dismiss, or discovery request from scratch every time — no forms library, no document automation, and setting up templates in most PM tools requires a consultant 3 vendors pp-0223 Attorney sends documents for signature with no evidence trail that survives a challenge — no proof of delivery and opening, and signature metadata that won't hold up when the deal collapses or a Daubert motion lands 3 vendors pp-0037 Startup corporate paperwork — board consents, stock certificates, option grants, funding round documents — is templated text with variable fields, but lawyers charge $500-2,000 a task or £5,000+ a round to fill them in 2 vendors pp-0098 Litigation attorney drafting a motion for summary judgment needs to link every factual assertion to the specific page in the deposition transcript or exhibit that supports it — manually cross-referencing 3,000 pages of discovery against 30 pages of brief takes two full days, and a single unsupported factual statement gives opposing counsel ammunition to strike 2 vendors pp-0109 In-house IP team at a tech company files 200+ patent applications per year and each one takes a patent agent 40-60 hours to draft from the inventor disclosure — the bottleneck isn't the invention, it's the labour-intensive process of writing specifications, claims, and figures that meet USPTO requirements, while the patent agent's queue grows faster than they can work through it 2 vendors pp-0241 Transactional associate coordinating a closing with 15 signatories across 3 time zones needs each person to execute the right pages in the right order — chasing wet-ink signatures via FedEx while managing e-signatures in a separate tool creates version chaos and delays closing by days 2 vendors pp-0277 SaaS startup closing its first enterprise deal spends $5,000-15,000 on outside counsel to draft a Cloud Service Agreement from scratch — then the customer's legal team redlines 80% of it anyway because neither side trusts the other's paper 2 vendors pp-0071 Third-year associate drafting an M&A purchase agreement spends 4-8 hours searching for the right precedent clause across the firm's DMS — they know a senior partner negotiated the exact provision last year but can't find it, so they redraft from scratch or use an outdated template 1 vendors
