Document drafting

Start from what you know, not from a blank page.

Start with a Template, an existing document, or a concise brief. Bring known information into one flow, then let your legal team review and shape the draft.

Starting point

Your starting point can change. Your control does not.

Not every document begins in the same place. Choose the right starting point for the information you have and keep open decisions visible as the draft develops.

01

Start from a Template

Use your organization’s approved structure as the foundation for new work.

02

Build on an existing document

Bring a document you already use into the context of the new matter.

03

Create a concise brief

Define the parties, subject, and key terms to frame the first draft.

Illustrative workflow

From known information to an editable document.

The starting source, brief, and developing document sit in one working scene. Your team can see what shaped the draft and where human judgment is still needed.

About document drafting

Frequently asked questions.

How can a drafting workflow begin?

You can use a Template, an existing document, or a concise brief describing the parties and key terms as the starting point.

Is the first draft ready for use?

No. It is working text for the legal team to complete missing information, refine language, and make the relevant legal and commercial decisions.

How are organizational Templates used?

Authorized Templates can establish the structure for new work. The resulting text still needs to be assessed against the circumstances of the specific matter.

Can the prepared draft be reviewed next?

You can take the document into Document Review and assess points that need attention alongside the relevant clauses and selected Review Standard.
