Common Challenges Legal Teams Face

From managing the intricacies of legal drafting to navigating internal inconsistencies, these challenges can derail even the most streamlined workflow.

Whether it’s the relentless pressure to meet deadlines, the time lost reworking documents, or the ever-present risk of human error, each step in the drafting presents its own set of challenges.

In a landscape where every minute counts, these recurring issues not only slow down workflows, but also compromise quality, compliance, and client satisfaction.

Switching between platforms, digging for precedent clauses, and checking outdated templates makes legal drafting harder than it should be.

Slow, Manual Document Drafting

Creating contracts or letters from scratch (or editing old templates) takes up hours of valuable legal time and adds unnecessary friction to workflows.

Inconsistent Style and Language

Without firm-wide standards, legal documents often differ in tone, structure, and formatting, raising compliance concerns and hurting professional credibility.

Growing Pressure to Move Faster

Clients demand faster delivery and more responsiveness. Traditional drafting methods can’t keep up with the rising expectations of modern legal service.

Higher Risk of Human Error

Under time pressure, even experienced professionals make mistakes - leading to costly rework, compliance issues, or exposure to liability.

Limited Oversight and Visibility

Tracking changes, clauses, and versions across teams or matters becomes disjointed without centralised, intelligent tools that provide full document transparency.

Delays in Document Execution

Unearthing preferred clauses can be slow and error-prone with inconsistent language also causing delays in document execution, external reviews, and final sign-off.
