Adding automation technologies to a legal practice may seem like an easier-said-than-done thing, but if it’s done right, it can dramatically boost productivity. It also increases client satisfaction by removing monotony from repetitive tasks.

Legal practice automation is a complex undertaking that involves a range of tools and systems. Begin by identifying which processes can be automated the best. Start with document creation, document reviews scheduling, client intake and marketing campaigns.

A good legal document automation software allows attorneys to quickly generate custom documents for each client and matter without having to manually input data. Document generation is more accurate and saves time by using legal practice automation templates for discovery and pleadings. Integrating your document automation software with legal practice management programs eliminates the need for manual time tracking. Instead, when an document is created it’s automatically filed in correct case and client file based on the corresponding data inputs.

AI is a preferred choice of attorneys because it frees them from the repetitive boring and monotonous work that forms the majority of their jobs. They can concentrate on innovative and analytical thinking which is a hallmark of ethical and professional representation.

Clients also appreciate the speed at how their needs are addressed in comparison to the traditional experience of long meetings to gather and verify information. The ability to create precise custom documents and streamline communication with clients via one system that is integrated improves the customer experience, increasing satisfaction, retention and referrals.
