Law firms of every practice area are tasked with completing paperwork and online data entry, from filling out documents and forms to client intake. With the help of automation tools, lawyers can speed up data entry and streamline their practice.

Document automation in particular has changed the way law firms operate. Let’s quickly cover all the benefits of incorporating document automation into your practice.

Why Use Document Automation

• Faster document creation: Preparing documents can be a tedious and repetitive process. With document automation, you eliminate redundant data entry entirely.
• More freed-up time to focus on other tasks: Now that you and your staff aren't spending a lot of your time on filling out legal forms, your law firm can put its energy elsewhere (like client acquisition).
• Improved data accuracy: Automation lessens the likelihood of mistakes and you'll have peace of mind knowing your documents have the correct information.
• Simpler document review and editing process: The document automation tool will do the majority of the work, all you have to do is review and put in the finishing touches.

In short, document automation makes your law firm more efficient overall. Because form completion is such a big part of everyday tasks for a law firm, the ability to create documents that autofill case information in an instant is a game-changer for attorneys.

The Doc Creator

NextChapter's document assembly tool, Doc Creator, improves your law firm's workflows. Available for all areas of law, any law firm can create or upload law firm templates. You can customize templates to the court's requirements, add in your law firm's branding, drag & drop merge fields, and use a number of formatting tools. Once you have a template created, generate documents again. Create documents that autofill with client and firm data you've already entered into the case in NextChapter. This saves you lots of time on form preparation.

We’ve recently updated this feature so that the editor is even more user-friendly, imports are more efficient, and you can use brand-new editing tools, like creating headers and footers in your documents.

Doc Creator from NextChapter helps you explore all the advantages of document automation and assembly. Never again spend too much time on data entry when you’re completing a form or a template for your practice.
