Managing precedents and clause banks is a time-consuming business which often falls to just one or a few fee earners within an organisation. It can also be costly too, with the recurring need to buy updated editions of key texts in hard copy or electronic versions.
If you’re in charge of managing precedents, you’ll know how important it is to make sure your team is using the correct version and that they understand it.
It’s easy to see why a team member might be tempted to prepare a new document using one that’s previously been drafted for another client. But this can often lead to errors or key clauses being missed. And that’s not to mention data protection risks.
A solution which (a) caters for drafting complex documents; (b) is kept up to date; (c ) can be understood and used by all team members and (d) saves fee earners time and the organisation money is what’s needed. Is this too much to ask? No.
