Let’s take a quick tour of LawView Draft, a new product for fast, accurate contract drafting and review, connected directly to the LawView legal workspace.

We’ll start in LawView, where all our contracts matters and other legal records live.

I can open a draft contract here, and then when I’m ready to review this contract in more depth, I can easily navigate to Microsoft Word.

The LawView draft add-in connects directly back to the LawView workspace, to help us work seamlessly between Microsoft Word, for drafting, and LawView, for everything else.

LawView Draft includes a comprehensive set of features, but today I’ll focus on the ones that integrate most deeply with LawView.

When reviewing third party contracts, I often check if key provisions align with what we’ve agreed to before.

For example, let’s use the definition of affiliates.

Using LawView Draft’s “Similar Clauses” feature, I can instantly find similar clauses from previous contracts my team has worked on.

LawVu Draft surfaces clauses from LawView, based on highlighted text.

Once you’ve found the right clause, it’s easy to insert, in one click.

Another way to leverage your prior work, is through “Clause Hunt”. Clause hunt connects seamlessly with LawView, so that you can easily search across your entire contract repository, directly inside Microsoft Word.

Let’s imagine we want to add a “termination for convenience” clause to this document.

The initial results include a range of clauses, but I can quickly refine them.

For instance, filtering to “only definitions”, or, “only clauses, from MSAs.

Now I can focus in on the best option for this agreement, and insert it easily.

Just, make some space.Update the language to fit my current document.And, insert my preferred language, in one click.

Another way that LawView Draft connects with the LawView legal workspace, is through the document chat.

This lets you ask questions about the current document, or about any documents saved in LawView.For example.

I can open LawView from here, and then search for other relevant documents.

And, once I’ve found them, I can pull them into the chat.

I can then ask, for example, if there are conflicting provisions between the current document, and the documents I’ve just added from LawView.LawView Draft has highlighted key differences, for example, governing law, confidentiality, and data retention.

Checking the accuracy is easy.

Hovering over citations will surface the relevant part of the document, and clicking will show you an “in-context” preview.

Leveraging document chat, is a quick and easy way to make sure the agreement you’re drafting, aligns with other relevant documents, addendums, or statements of work.

You could use the same approach to check against existing agreements between parties, check policies for compliance, or, anything else in LawView.

Finally, let’s look at how we could apply a playbook, with LawView Draft.

You can easily apply your playbooks to any new “third party contracts” for review.

Creating a playbook is easy, and once it’s set up, you can make sure that all incoming contracts are consistently and accurately reviewed against your rules.

Let’s select the “Master Services playbook”.

When we click “Review”, LawView Draft will analyze the document, reviewing it against each rule we have saved in the playbook to spot non-compliant language, and flag issues.

You can see this has highlighted a few issues for us to check.

To dig into an issue, we can click to expand, and then select the text, to jump us straight to the right place in the document.

Rewriting will produce a new, compliant version, that we can insert with one click.

One thing we haven’t touched on yet is LawView Draft’s “Clause library” functionality.

With LawView Draft, you can create a curated library of approved clauses, that can be embedded seamlessly into your playbooks.

Expanding this “anti-bribery clause” reveals our preferred standard language, which can be inserted directly into the document.

Formatting is always fully preserved, saving you from needing to make any manual adjustments.

Today, we’ve highlighted a handful of our most popular features, but we’d love to show you more.
