Lawyaw is cloud-based software that helps small and medium-size law firms automate document workflows from information gathering to eSign. For example, you can turn your frequently used Microsoft Word-based documents into reusable, easy-to-fill templates and then send for eSign with just a few clicks. Legal professionals can also access cloud-based libraries of county, state and federal court forms. These features allow firms to build and fill sets of documents and forms simultaneously to quickly complete routine drafting. The results help save time and avoid errors with legal document drafting.

To get started simply create a Lawyaw account. We'll follow-up with you to schedule time to talk about whether Lawyaw is the right solution for your legal practice.

We have an easy-to-use Template Builder that is integrated into Microsoft Word. With the Template Builder, you can convert your frequently-used documents into fillable Word templates that can be drafted in a fraction of the time on the Lawyaw platform. We also have a dedicated Templating team that can help you get started.

Once your templates are in Lawyaw, you’ll be able to fill them over and over again through a simple online portal. In addition to having the ability to quickly and accurately fill your documents with information like names and addresses, you can also insert and edit entire clauses and paragraphs using conditional logic and other nifty features. If you are a Clio user, you also have the ability to import Clio data, right into your Word documents.

That’s easy. Lawyaw gives you the ability to download a fully formatted Word version of your filled document for final editing or changes.

Lawyaw lets you make changes to your existing template from within Word, and then those updates are available for you in the platform going forward (previously generated documents won't be affected, but new ones will be).

With Lawyaw you can access thousands of cloud-based, fillable court forms. Current form libraries include all 50 US states. You can fill all Judicial Council, county and federal immigration forms using our software.

Say goodbye to manual updates (you can finally get rid of that CD-ROM drive). Lawyaw updates all court forms, that way you can access the most current version of the form every time you log in to your account.

There are more than 3,500 lawyers across North America (and scattered around the globe) who are currently using Lawyaw. Our most common types of users practice Family Law, Estate Planning, Civil Litigation, Business Law and Real Estate. However, that's a generalization. If you have a legal practice that regularly uses similar sets of documents across multiple clients, there's a good chance we can help you save time, improve operational efficiency, avoid errors and increase profitability by using our software.
