The Gold Standard of Bespoke Content Automation

“We have worked with Clarilis to automate a wide spectrum of documents including some particularly complex ones. An example would be our legal opinions, which allow the fee earners to focus on providing legal advice rather than becoming bogged down in a repetitive drafting task.”

Jill Moore

Senior Counsel for Risk Burness Paull

“Clarilis enables us to win better value work from more strategic clients, because it frees the corporate team up from those parts of the transaction process that we consider to be inefficient.”

Andrew Webber, Corporate Law Partner, TLT

Why deep automation?

The Clarilis platform was designed specifically to support the complexity of drafting legal documents and the starting point for an automation is the entire matter, not the document.

By using a highly structured data model, Clarilis enables entire suites of complex documents to be drafted from a single questionnaire. As key information has already been entered when drafting the main document, ancillary documents can be produced almost instantly - a near 100% time saving. 

But it's more than the technology. Successful automations rely heavily on the input of human legal expertise.

implementation

Our fully managed service

With our managed service approach, automation projects are designed, implemented, tested, delivered, and maintained on behalf of the firm.

You'll collaborate with our experienced professional support lawyers (PSLs), each with an average of over 15 years' post-qualification experience. Their wealth of legal knowledge and expertise allows them to fully grasp your automation goals and identify the best documents to include in your automation, ensuring strong ROI for your firm.

Our PSLs speak your language, understand your challenges, and partner with you to deliver high-quality, effective automation solutions.

The winning combination.

Don't sit on the automation side lines

The deal makers who move fastest will claim market advantage.

  • Clients are demanding faster turnaround times from their law firm
  • Your clients will expect automation as 'standard' - if they don't already
  • Maybe share the deep automation benefits with your clients - they will thank you for it

Fee earners are spending too long manually drafting

Resolving square brackets, fixing grammar, bringing in riders (copy/paste, copy/paste), copying paragraphs from other deal docs and changing the structure of the drafting in routine ways.

Sound familiar? It doesn't have to be this way!

Where to start?

From selection of the right precedents to automate, to implementation of the automation, through to subsequent integration into your fee earners’ practice. Robust processes are key. Our PSLs are with you, every step of the way.

Think about what documents you should be automating

Each automation project should be justified in terms of the ROI delivered to the firm. Find out where time is being wasted manually drafting and margins are being squeezed. Often it's the large, complex suites of documents that, once deeply automated by Clarilis, will truly transform your practice.

So our customers tell us:

“This (Clarilis) has proved a business game changer for our SPA suite and private equity documents in particular.”

Chris Taylor, Corporate Law Partner, Addleshaw Goddard

Do I need to prepare my documents?

There is no requirement for the precedents destined for automation to be ‘perfect’ or ‘signed-off’.  As a general guide, if the relevant precedents are being used by your fee earners on live matters, then they are suitable for automation.  

The Clarilis process involves giving your dedicated Clarilis PSL the precedents that have been selected for automation, together with any relevant riders and drafting notes.  Our experienced team of PSLs and Document Analysts will carry out a very detailed review of the precedents in order to prepare them for automation.

We do all the heavy lifting for you!

What to expect?

At Clarilis all communication is lawyer-to-lawyer and from the outset, clients will have a dedicated Clarilis PSL who will be your single point of contact.  

Experience has shown us that the project is usually best led by the member of your knowledge management team responsible for the precedent(s) being automated.  

Whilst we work with over 40% of the Top UK law firms, experience does not bring complacency. You will have a way you want to work and we want to work with you. Together we can adopt the best approach for your firm, with best-practice experience to build on.
