Revolutionizing Legal Document Creation for Small Law Firms

For small and midsize law firms, efficiency isn’t optional—it’s survival. Document drafting sits at the heart of legal work, yet too often it becomes a drain on capacity. While clients value strategic advice and tailored legal analysis, much of the drafting process involves low-value tasks: formatting, updating dates, reusing outdated templates, or hunting through old files for clauses.

Those hours are tough to justify on a bill, and even tougher to recoup in fixed-fee arrangements. The result? Lawyers working late, firms writing off time, and opportunities for higher-value work slipping away.

Where Technology Can Tip the Scales
The right technology should strip away the administrative weight, not add to it. That’s exactly why Litera Create exists—to help smaller firms draft smarter, faster, and with less risk.

Instead of wrestling with outdated templates or piecing together language from old files, lawyers can start with pre-approved, up-to-date templates and access a centralized content library directly within Microsoft Word. Every draft begins on solid ground—accurate, consistent, and formatted correctly—without wasted effort.

And because Litera Create is cloud-based, firms don’t need IT teams or costly infrastructure to run it. Deployment is quick, updates are seamless, and lawyers can focus on law, not technology.

Three Reasons Litera Create Works for Small Firms

  • Affordable through the cloud – With multi-tenant hosting and integration into Litera One, firms gain enterprise-level drafting power without the enterprise-level cost
  • Modern, simplified workflows – Create transforms drafting by cutting first-draft time by up to 85%, freeing smaller teams to focus on strategy instead of admin
  • Easy to adopt and maintain – With Litera’s support, training resources, and no IT overhead, firms can roll out Create smoothly and see immediate value

Why Adoption Sticks

Technology only matters if your lawyers actually use it. Litera backs Create with a dedicated onboarding process, training programs, and ongoing support tailored for smaller firms. That means a faster transition, higher adoption, and real ROI—not just another tool sitting on the shelf.

For small and midsize firms, reclaiming time from manual drafting isn’t just about productivity—it’s about staying competitive. Litera Create gives leaner teams the tools to deliver consistent, high-quality documents at scale, without the cost or complexity of traditional enterprise systems.
