Works with
Questionnaire
Based on the answers provided, the conditionality changes the next questions presented (or not) to the client. The conditionality can be applied down to the values within a dropdown field, the radio buttons that can be selected, the minimum dollar amount entered, or the earliest date that can be entered.
Step by step guidance
Smarter Drafter guides both lawyers and clients through every step of a matter.
The guidance delivered on screen can also be conditionally updated based on the scenario.
Document and clause inclusion
Conditionality within Smarter Drafter drives the drafting outcome, ensuring that all necessary documents from the precedent library are included and the correct clauses are applied in all instances.
