Once upon a time automobiles were individually made by hand. They were beautifully crafted and richly appointed, and only the wealthy could afford them. Then, Henry Ford devised the first assembly line and the Model T became affordable for the masses. Legal services aren’t an exact parallel, but there are lessons to be learned from the comparison.

Law offices moved easily, if somewhat reluctantly, from typewriters to word processors, and the ease with which documents could be created, modified and re-purposed made the work of both legal secretaries and lawyers somewhat quicker and easier. But many legal documents are still much like hand-crafted autos – one of a kind and expensive – even though they don’t have to be. Over the last few years there’s been a quantum leap in how documents can be generated using document automation systems, yet very few law firms are taking advantage of the radical increase in productivity, and profitability, these systems can offer.

If you would like to know more about document automation and how it can improve your life and your bottom line, and start to think about how you could begin to implement more streamlined document generation processes in your law office, you’ll want to take advantage of a free one-hour webinar sponsored by the folks at The Form Tool. Set for Thursday, July 31st at 10:00 a.m. CDT, this program will cover the five steps to elegant document automation, and is designed to help everyone, no matter their level of experience or the tools they are using.
