It writes like your firm

Your structure becomes the authority in the software, with no silent fallback to a generic skeleton. A rule-based check compares each draft with your firm’s sample, and styles can differ by practice and by partner.

  • Built from checked workDrafts start from the brief and from research a lawyer has already checked.
  • Safe to shareVersion history and edit locks stop two people overwriting each other.
