Litera Create
Description
Litera Create is a document assembly and content library platform for Microsoft Word, designed to empower legal professionals to create quick and accurate first drafts by using enterprise-approved templates (Litera Create-Templates) and inserting the most updated & relevant language (Litera Create-Content).
With Litera Create, legal professionals draft 85% faster, improving productivity and automating tasks so they can focus on higher value legal work.
Problem
Legal professionals spend more than five hours per week drafting documents.

This process increases the risk of creating inaccurate documents, leaving the lawyer and the firm open to reputational damage and loss of client confidence.

Problem
More than one in three legal professionals admit to skipping critical proofreading tasks due to time pressure.

When using technology, most legal professionals have multiple point solutions and Microsoft Word add-ins that decrease clarity and waste time when having to switch from one tool to the other. IT has to manage multiple installers and multiple updates, while the proliferation of add-ins decreases Microsoft Word’s stability and operation speed.

Legal professionals may manually apply firm styles, fix numbering and cross references, convert legacy documents, create Tables of Contents, etc., within tight deadlines and under immense pressure to do more with less.

Problem
