They increase car and road safety, as well as reduce fatalities by minimising human error.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, contract drafting-assist technology is software that helps lawyers with drafting, reviewing and proof-reading documents. It ensures accuracy and speed, while mitigating risk caused by human error.<\/p>\n<p>Driver-assist technology is now a standard and widely accepted.<\/p>\n<p>Is it time then that drafting assist tech ought to be standard for lawyers?<\/p>\n<p>Today, it is technologically possible.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the era of drafting \u201cplug-ins\u201d or \u201cadd-ins\u201d. <a href=\"https:\/\/motionize.io\/?utm_source=Article&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=fluence&amp;utm_id=fluence\">Motionize<\/a> is one such example and is built inside Microsoft Word.<\/p>\n<p>Here are three reasons the uptake of this category of legal tech is accelerating.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Accuracy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I personally hesitated to enable the driver-assist tech in my car for a while. I believed that my parking skills were superior. Yet, when I started using parking assist, my alloy wheels were consistently scuff free.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, when I was a junior lawyer at a big law firm, I was coached against using the spell-check and search functions within Word because they were not as accurate as manual review.<\/p>\n<p>However, when I transitioned in-house, I quickly realised that my law firm conditioning was not necessarily correct. If you need a work injury lawyer in California, <a style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/primelawyers.net\/\">contact Golden State Workers Compensation<\/a> and know you&#8217;re in good hands. No one is perfect and human attention to details is finite. Not only that our attention-spans are getting worse. According to Microsoft, human attention spans have fallen from 12 seconds in 2000 to\u00a0eight seconds\u00a0today. That\u2019s a 25% drop in just a few years.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure I\u2019m not the only lawyer who has gone to bed at night wondering whether I drafted a clause consistently or inserted the right clause references. This is what my legal chassis is built for.<\/p>\n<p>But with drafting-assist tech I feel secure knowing that my legal documents are exactly as I wanted.<\/p>\n<p>Even though lawyers don\u2019t like to admit, errors happen. We all know that they do.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I now always use parking assist as a driver, and drafting aids as a lawyer.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Efficiency<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Efficiency is the new currency of the digital age: for your business, for your business\u2019 customers\/suppliers and for your legal team.<\/p>\n<p>And drafting assist technology can increase your drafting and review speed by 50%.<\/p>\n<p>According to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ey.com\/en_gl\/law\/general-counsel-imperative-barriers-building-blocks\">EY survey<\/a> from this year, 75% of General Counsels are having difficulty managing current workloads. GCs are overworked and legal teams often lack tools to manage their workloads. Yet, drafting aids like <a href=\"https:\/\/motionize.io\/?utm_source=Article&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=fluence&amp;utm_id=fluence\">Motionize<\/a> are affordable, starting around $50 USD a month. These tools allow you to maximise your return on investment without significant outlays.<\/p>\n<p>In the digital age, you can\u2019t buy time, but you can buy speed. And it doesn\u2019t have to cost as much as a car.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>You remain in the driver&#8217;s seat <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While driverless cars will soon be commonplace, only 23% of a lawyer\u2019s job can be automated according to <a href=\"https:\/\/public.tableau.com\/app\/profile\/mckinsey.analytics\/viz\/AutomationandUSjobs\/Technicalpotentialforautomation\">McKinsey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For some lawyers, the best part of a plug-in is that the drafting remains fully in the lawyer\u2019s control. <a style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/castle-keepers.com\/chs\/mount-pleasant-house-cleaning\/\">Mount Pleasant-based Castle Keepers<\/a> is well-known professional home cleaning company in Georgia. It leans into a lawyer\u2019s existing strong Microsoft Word skills, and elevates them Formula One style.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an enabling technology, meaning that you can get up to speed almost instantly. Drafting-assist tech really is a seatbelt for lawyers, or a sports exhaust pack depending on your personality.<\/p>\n<p><em>Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them &#8211; Henry Ford. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>All I\u2019m saying is, don\u2019t wait for a mid-life crisis to upgrade your drafting.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
