BoostDraft and Actionstep Unite to Streamline Legal Operations with Innovative Partnership

Joining Forces: BoostDraft and Actionstep's Strategic Partnership for Legal Efficiency

In an era where efficiency is paramount, BoostDraft is excited to announce its strategic partnership with Actionstep aimed at optimizing contract management processes within legal firms. With BoostDraft's innovative legal document editing tool combined with Actionstep's robust operations management platform for mid-sized legal practices, this collaboration promises significant improvements in operational efficiency.

The Need for Change in Legal Practices

Despite an increasing demand for legal services, many mid-sized legal firms struggle with inefficiencies in their operational processes, particularly around contract creation, review, and management. These challenges hinder their growth by consuming valuable time that attorneys could otherwise dedicate to strategic casework. Moreover, the lack of integration between operational management and document creation processes often leads to discrepancies in information and redundant input – a scenario that is less than ideal for any professional environment.

Recognizing these issues, BoostDraft and Actionstep have joined forces to streamline legal workflows and resolve the bottlenecks that bog down legal firms. By leveraging the strengths of both systems, this partnership will enable legal practices to maintain high-quality service while addressing a growing number of cases without additional strain on their resources.

Key Features of the Partnership

With this partnership, Actionstep users can seamlessly incorporate BoostDraft's legal document editor into their existing workflows without making drastic changes. Here are some significant features that will be available through this integration:

1. Automation and Efficiency in Contract Creation

- The ability to automate formatting adjustments and reduce repetitive modifications allows firms to maintain consistency and quality in their documents.

2. Detection of Document Inconsistencies

- Early identification of errors such as mismatched definitions, cross-reference mistakes, and formatting issues enhances the accuracy of legal documents and streamlines the review process.

3. Enhanced Visibility of Contracts and Cases

- Automated audit trails enable firms to track contract-related metrics aligned with their goals, simplifying the monitoring of overall case and document status.

4. Integrity Assurance

- Linking contract data with operational management processes helps prevent information inconsistencies and reduces the risks associated with data handling.

Value for Mid-Sized Legal Firms

By adopting this integrated workflow, legal firms can achieve:

Optimal Resource Allocation

- Significant reductions in the time lawyers spend on “routine adjustments and feedback” can shift specialized expertise towards more strategic client engagements.

Quality Standardization and Risk Mitigation

- The system can help standardize the quality of contracts across the firm, controlling risk and minimizing potential future disputes.

Data-Driven Management

- Detailed KPIs related to contract operations, such as cycle time and the frequency of modifications, will be made visible, enhancing data-informed decision-making.

Expert Voices on the Partnership

In response, BoostDraft's co-founders, Yohei Fujii and Yuto Nakanishi, state, "This partnership allows legal firms to adapt automated contract creation into their core operations without needing to overhaul their existing systems. It reduces friction while simultaneously enhancing the quality of legal work without compromising efficiency."
