What is Gavel?
Gavel is a comprehensive automation platform designed by attorneys, for attorneys. It directly addresses the most time-consuming aspects of legal work—document drafting, client intake, and contract redlining—so you can eliminate manual tasks and focus on practicing at the top of your license. By transforming your firm's unique documents and processes into intelligent, automated workflows, Gavel empowers you to deliver exceptional work faster and more profitably.
Key Features
🧠 Intelligent Document & PDF Automation Turn your firm’s proprietary Word documents and fillable PDFs into powerful, error-free templates. Gavel’s robust conditional logic and calculation engine handles even the most complex legal scenarios, from nested lists to intricate clauses. This ensures every generated file is perfectly formatted and accurate, saving you from hours of manual review and reformatting.
🤖 AI-Assisted Workflow & Redlining Leverage Gavel's secure, legal-domain AI to accelerate your work without compromising control. Simply upload your existing documents, and Gavel Blueprint instantly suggests a structured workflow for your review. For transactional work, the Gavel Exec add-in for Microsoft Word learns your redlining style to mark up agreements, revise clauses, and generate drafts, dramatically reducing drafting time.
🔒 Secure Client Intake Portal Streamline data collection with a professional, white-labeled portal your clients will find simple and intuitive. This allows clients to input their information at their own pace, which then flows directly into your document workflows. Gavel is built on a foundation of enterprise-grade security, including SOC II and HIPAA compliance and AES-256 encryption, ensuring all client data is protected from intake to generation.
🔗 Seamless Practice Integrations Connect Gavel directly to the essential tools you already use. With native integrations for Clio, DocuSign, Zapier, and more, you can pull matter data, send documents for eSignature, and trigger workflows automatically. This creates a truly unified and efficient ecosystem for your practice, eliminating redundant data entry and manual steps.
How Gavel Solves Your Problems
Gavel delivers tangible results across various practice areas. Here are a few examples:
For the Estate Planning Attorney: Instead of spending hours manually customizing a complex trust package, you send your client a link to a Gavel intake questionnaire. The client completes it on their own time, and with a single click, you generate a complete, error-free estate plan—including the trust, will, and powers of attorney—in under 30 minutes.
For the Family Law Practice: Your firm handles a high volume of cases requiring standardized court form submissions. Using Gavel, you automate the entire set of state-mandated PDFs. Your paralegals enter the case information once, and Gavel instantly populates dozens of forms, ensuring consistency and accuracy while freeing up staff for more critical tasks.
For the Corporate Transactional Lawyer: You receive a third-party agreement that needs significant redlining. Instead of a manual line-by-line review, you use the Gavel Exec add-in for Word. It automatically applies your firm’s standard revisions and flags non-market terms, allowing you to turn around a high-quality redline in a fraction of the time.
