Litera One: The Secret to Intelligent, Unified Legal Workflows Integrated with Microsoft 365

Table of Contents

Fragmented workflows is a common issue for law firms everywhere.

Picture this:

You are a senior partner in a well-known law firm. One of your junior lawyers wants to create a contract for a new client. They evaluate market insights and access client matter data and then draft the contract using Microsoft Word in Microsoft 365. Before they can send the contract to the client, they must review the document. The review step is important because the contract brand new and not created from an existing template. The chances for errors and misses are too high so they must review the document manually, line by line. If they find formatting, styling, or accuracy issues, they must carefully implement fixes and again review the document. Multiple contributors are involved in the drafting process so the lawyer has to coordinate with all of them and incorporate all their inputs. Once the document is ready, the lawyer sends it to the client. By this point, the client has been waiting for several days, so they are understandably unhappy – with the lawyer and with your firm.

Does this hypothetical scenario strike a chord with you?

Now imagine that you have a tool that seamlessly integrates all the workflows involved in creating the contract: document drafting, review, analysis, comparison, repair, and restyling? Imagine how much time and effort your lawyers could save!

What if all these legal workflows were integrated with Microsoft 365 and accessible on any device?

Would it streamline routine tasks in Word and Outlook?

Eliminate the need for lawyers to switch between different applications and step outside native workflows?

Dramatically improve the quality, accuracy, and consistency of legal work?

And create a more focused and productive environment within your organisation?
