Smarter Drafter

"Document automation for every law firm β€” from instruction to eSignature."

Overview

Smarter Drafter is Australia's leading document automation platform, purpose-built for law firms. It replaces up to five separate systems with a single end-to-end workflow: online instruction-taking, automated document assembly, Microsoft Word editing, and integrated eSignature. The dynamic questionnaire engine adapts in real time based on user responses, automatically handling clause inclusion, pluralisation, pronouns, and repeatable content.

Built by Tensis and hosted on Microsoft Azure (onshore), Smarter Drafter is ISO 27001 certified with TLS encryption and multifactor authentication. It integrates natively with practice management systems, iManage, document management systems, Google Maps, and the Australian Business Register. Available in Essentials, Specialist, and Build Your Own tiers, it serves firms from boutique practices through to major national firms and in-house legal teams.
