Clarilis the only drafting platform designed by lawyers for lawyers TM It s often said that the best products are those designed by the people who actually use them. I founded Clarilis as a practising lawyer, with our CTO and system architect, because we believed it was possible to capture best practice drafting methodologies and techniques in an intelligent software solution. The result is a cloud-hosted platform that ensures that your firm or legal department drafts consistently high-quality documentation whilst freeing your fee earners to focus on what they do best advising clients and handling non-standard aspects of transactions. Using the platform doesn t mean losing your individual drafting style. On the contrary, ClarilisTM allows you to capture your firm s templates and precedents, ensuring that every member of your practice applies them consistently and efficiently. We are proud of the solution we ve built and the value it adds to the drafting process.

Drafting is 90% perspiration, 10% inspiration. It s time to change that ratio Drafting is the backbone of every law firm and legal department. For top-tier law firms, their precedent bank is one of the key differentiators from other firms and is the culmination of many years of expertise and know-how. It is a significant intellectual property asset. Many firms have yet to properly capture their best drafting practice. They rely instead on the skill of a few reliable precedent owners; on templates and precedents that are passed from individual to individual; and on the availability and experience of senior fee-earners to moderate and oversee the drafting process. At Clarilis, we believe that fee earners should be free to invest their time where they can add the greatest value in client relations, bespoke drafting and in providing advice rather than in the formulaic and mechanical aspects of preparing documents. Our platform allows you to quickly and easily capture your firm or legal department s best drafting techniques and extend them consistently across your entire practice. The repetitive and procedural aspects of the drafting process are automated in the workflow, making the drafting process simpler and far more efficient. 3
Simpler, smarter, scalable and secure drafting the Clarilis TM way Using Clarilis TM isn t just about improving your efficiency, it also delivers a range of other key benefits to your practice. Quality, consistency and control Using Clarilis TM is the equivalent of deploying your best draftsman on every single document you produce. That s because the platform enables the creation of drafts using your firm s precedents and changes the content of the document produced in accordance with rules the precedent owner dictates. When the master template is updated, any amendments are automatically rolled out ensuring complete consistency and quality control. Risk of under billing eliminated People work at different speeds. By automating aspects of the drafting process, you gain certainty not only in the quality of the documentation produced but also in the time required. Removing this variable from the equation allows you to more accurately forecast the costs that will be incurred on a given matter. This additional certainty allows you to open up new charging structures and models without being exposed to undue financial risk. 4
