Drafting legal documents is more than filling in a few fields. Law firm WantedLaw therefore realised very early on that it would need specialised document automation software. ClauseBase was the right partner to help Wanted Law achieve its document automation goals.
The journey of Wanted Law is an outstanding example of how innovation is not the exclusive domain of the legal industry’s giants, thanks to ClauseBase's technological capabilities.
Wanted Law (www.wanted.law) is a regional Belgian law firm with two geographically separated offices. The firm currently employs over 17 people, including 12 lawyers and specialises in such domains of law as family law, contract law, and property law.
As an ambitious regional firm, Wanted Law wants to offer its clients the advantage of scale without diminishing its capacity to offer affordable access to justice in the way that only a small firm can.
To meet this challenge, the firm started to focus on the opportunities offered by technological innovation. Hence, the idea of a web shop, where clients could access its services online, was born. In addition to easily accessible “speed dates” with lawyers, the firm wanted to provide intelligent and frequently drafted legal documents online in a flexible manner. The hunt for a strategic partner began.
Joachim Vanspeybrouck, partner at Wanted Law had the following to say:
After an initial struggle to find a suitable provider, Wanted Law found ClauseBase after attending a document automation workshop. After testing the software for a few days, it became clear that ClauseBase was the right partner to help Wanted Law achieve its document automation goals.
Pieter Pauwels, partner at Wanted Law, said:
The adoption of ClauseBase has created a completely new avenue by which the firm can deliver its services. Automating high-volume documents, such as lease and settlement agreements in an intelligent manner has allowed the firm to provide them at fixed prices in its web shop and decreased the barrier to access for legal services.
Sarah Verbeke, growth manager at Wanted Law, said:
The journey of Wanted Law is an outstanding example of how technological innovation is not the exclusive domain of the legal industry’s giants. A firm does not require an enormous innovation and investment budget to adopt new technologies but can successfully transform and modernise its business by careful planning and a clear commitment to improvement.
