Deep automation for Banking & Finance lawyers

Draft suites of Banking & Finance documents 90% faster.

Significant fee earner time and resource is being wasted on mechanical and routine document creation, particularly when drafting the long and complex documentation required for leveraged and real estate finance transactions.

Banking and Finance documents are an ideal fit for deep automation - the more complex the matter, the greater the impact. Clarilis' deep automations help teams generate first drafts quickly and consistently, without compromising quality, freeing lawyers to focus on the parts of the deal that actually make a difference.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

One platform. We will automate all your finance team's documents.

Clarilis has extensive experience in automating complex banking and finance documents, including those based on Loan Market Association (“LMA”) precedents*. This includes automating your firm’s custom content and additional precedents, as well as introducing optionality such as bilateralisation and single facility options. 

The Clarilis platform is used extensively to automate banking and finance precedents, such as:

- Leveraged Facilities Agreements
- Real Estate Finance Agreements
- Legal Opinions
- Simplified Lending Facility Agreements
- Developing Markets Facilities Agreements
- Export Finance Credit Agreements
- Intercreditor Agreements
- Security Documents

and more...

In the case of automated suites which include a firm's LMA derived precedents*, Clarilis leverages its extensive experience in automating these documents (including common adaptations requested by firms) to automate and enhance a firm's suite of documents. This includes automating your firm's custom content and additional precedents.

The end result is an exceptionally customised automation with a PSL-led managed service to design, scope, implement, test and update it for you.

What finance teams say:

"Using Clarilis takes a day out of the drafting process for the first draft of a facility agreement... so we can now focus on the parts that actually make the difference to the deal, rather than spending huge amounts of time simply getting to a starting point. But it's also about accuracy – it's about efficiency and risk mitigation. Automated systems don't get tired in the same way that humans do, so when you're working at pace, mistakes are fewer."

“As our banking practice grew and took on more complex deals, we needed a way to accelerate first-draft production without compromising the precision, quality or bespoke character of its work. Clarilis provides peace of mind when drafting facilities agreements, ensuring everyone is drafting based on the most up-to-date template, reducing the risk of discrepancies."

How does it work?

You complete a dynamic questionnaire. Clarilis produces a comprehensive first draft in Word, together with all relevant ancillary documents. All in your firm’s house style. No templates to configure. No legal engineers required.

 

With Clarilis' drafting on rails experience, there’s simply less margin for human error.

Clarilis PSLs review your existing precedents, drafting notes and guidance and will work with you to design an automation that gathers, stores and categorise all of the key transaction data you need to generate the required suite of documents. This ensures significant time savings and greater accuracy which, in turn, facilitates delegation while mitigating risk and reducing expensive partner review time. 

There’s a long-term business benefit to complex banking document automation if it’s maintained and enhanced by iteration over time. This is another highly valued aspect of the Clarilis PSL-led managed service.

“Newly qualified lawyers considering their choice of firm will question the need to spend hours poring over documents when deep automation can do the same thing in a fraction of the time. This doesn’t impact your training as it is easy to still see how your answers shape a document. The Clarilis system is highly intuitive, and the questionnaires used to generate drafts are easy to interpret due to the close involvement of our Clarilis PSL, who clearly knows the finance documents that we work with inside out.”

Give people time back to do what they do best

A certain amount of drafting work is critical to a lawyer's development, including to hone their attention to detail.

However, when a junior lawyer's day is filled with a disproportionate amount of administrative drafting tasks, they may struggle to devote sufficient time to higher value advisory work. 

Clarilis supports and liberates your lawyers, allowing them to focus on what they do best (which is not hours of routine and mechanical drafting changes).

Plus, your PSLs can devote more time to thought leadership and making sure everyone is up-to-date.

Trust in a great tech provider who also invests in experienced PSLs on your behalf, giving your PSLs more time to focus on commercial trends and what's happening in the wider market.
