Smarter Drafter Integration

The direct integration of Smart Precedents from Smarter Drafter into existing Practice Management systems offers significant benefits to all Family Law firms, particularly in terms of:

• Increasing efficiency,
• Maximizing billable hours,
• Increasing profit; and
• Ensuring consistency in the quality of work output.

Here’s how these benefits unfold:

Increasing Efficiency

1. Automated Document Drafting: Smart Precedents automate much of the drafting process, pulling relevant information directly from case files in the Practice Management system to populate documents. This reduces the time lawyers spend on routine drafting tasks.
2. Reduced Administrative Overheads : Seamless integration means less time spent on file management and data entry, allowing legal professionals to focus on higher-value tasks.
3. Quick Adaptation to Changes: As the Precedents are managed by Family Law Education Network, you can be assured that that they are  always up-to-date without requiring extensive manual updates.

Maximizing Billables

1. More Time for Billable Work: By reducing the time required for non-billable tasks like document drafting and administration, lawyers can allocate more time to billable activities, directly impacting revenue.
2. Enhanced Client Service: Faster turnaround times on documents can improve client satisfaction and potentially lead to more client referrals and repeat business.
3. Increasing billables: By use of the Smart Precedents lawyers can bill for the documents produced as opposed to the time taken, increasing efficiency and overall billables and profit.

Ensuring Consistency in Quality and Advice

1. Standardised Documents: Smart Precedents ensure that all documents adhere to a high standard of quality and consistency, and meeting best practice principles.
2. Reduced Error Rates: Automated data entry and document generation minimize the risk of human error, resulting in more accurate and reliable documents with consistent advice.
3. Continuous Improvement: The use of smart precedents allows for ongoing updates and improvements based on the latest legal standards and practices, ensuring that the quality of work remains consistently high.

The strategic partnership between the Family Law Education Network and Smarter Drafter, coupled with the integration into popular Practice Management systems, represents a forward-thinking approach to legal practice.

It leverages technology to enhance the efficiency and quality of legal services, setting a new standard for how legal work is managed and delivered.

This system can also be coupled with any Practice Management System or arrangements made within a firm and is complementary to running a firm with budgetary issues in mind.
