Document automation is not new

Contract Express has been improving

way lawyers, knowledge managers, and
information technology (IT) professionals
collaborate to bring legal practice into the
21st century.
Consider how your organization assembles
and executes non-disclosure agreements,
lease agreements, due diligence reports,
incorporation documents, consultant
agreements, and much more. Is any of that
automated? And if not, why not?

Is your legal practice or law department still writing letters instead of sending email? Are you
using word-processing programs to draft contracts? The answer to the fi rst question is no doubt
a resounding "no." The answer to the second question is more likely "yes."
Therein lies the problem: lawyers have stopped writing and snail-mailing letters but the migration
to document automation is proving to be much slower.
