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 can also improve client satisfaction, by eliminating monotony from repetitive tasks.
Automatizing legal practice is a multifaceted endeavor that involves a variety of tools and systems. To get the most benefit begin by identifying which processes are most suited to automation. Start with document creation review, document creation scheduling, client intake, and marketing campaigns.
A quality legal document software program can help attorneys to quickly design custom documents for each client and case without the need to manually enter data. Using templates for pleadings, discovery requests, letters to clients and more document creation saves time and improves accuracy. In addition to that, integrating your document automation software with legal practice management software will eliminate the need to track the billable hours manually. Instead, when the document is created, it’s automatically filed to the correct case and client file based upon the relevant data inputs.
AI is a preferred choice of lawyers because it liberates attorneys from the monotonous, boring work that is the majority of their jobs. In the absence of tasks that are not as important, they can concentrate on the creative and thoughtful analysis that is a characteristic of a professional and ethical representation.
Clients are also pleased with the speed at which their matters are managed in comparison to the traditional customer experience, which consists of long meetings to gather and verify information. The ability to create accurate customized documents and streamline communications with clients through one system that is integrated improves the customer experience, increasing satisfaction, retention, and referrals.
