PARTICIPATION ONLYAutomating your frequently-used legal documents can reduce
drafting time up to 95%. Document assembly can also significantly reduce the
likelihood of errors associated with recycling copies of your work product (i.e,
'sins of commission and omission'). In short, document assembly can mean your
work is both more efficient and more accurate.
If it's such a great solution, why don't more attorneys
adopt this technology? Two reasons: First, document automation often requires
someone with some coding experience. Few of us have that person at our disposal.
Second, most attorneys want a more intimate relationship with their documents
than they might get with the traditional Q&A 'interview' common to document
assembly products.
In this session we'll review strategies for overcoming
these roadblocks by exploring document assembly tools in Word, community.lawyer,
mndocs, and in practice management platforms like Practice Panther. We’ll take a
step-by-step approach so you can make an informed decision about a) which
applications might serve your immediate needs and b) how you might measure your
return on investment in any given doc assembly application.
