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 can improve satisfaction with clients by removing the monotony of repetitive work and freeing staff to concentrate on more productive work for clients.
Automatizing legal practice is a multifaceted undertaking that requires a variety of tools and systems. Start by identifying which processes are most suited to automation. Some of the most common areas to begin with include document creation and review clients intake, scheduling, and marketing campaigns.
A reliable legal document automation software solution lets attorneys quickly create custom documents for each client and case without the need to manually input data. Using templates for pleadings, discovery requests, letters to clients, and many more, document generation saves time and improves accuracy. Integrating your document automation software with a legal practice management software eliminates the necessity of manual time tracking. Instead when a document is created, it’s automatically filed to the proper case and client file, based on the appropriate data inputs.
AI is a popular choice for attorneys due to its ability to free attorneys from the monotonous boring work that makes up the majority of their work. They can focus on creativity and analytical thinking which is the hallmark of ethical and competent representation.
Clients also appreciate the speed at how their concerns are dealt with, especially when compared to the traditional customer experience, which consists of lengthy meetings to gather and verify information. Additionally, the ability to create accurate, customized documents and streamline communication with clients through a single system offers a superior client experience that increases satisfaction retention, and referrals.
