A solution incorporating IA, for example, can connect case management, document management, and billing systems to ensure data is being exchanged back and forth to complete an automated task with no errors. • Fulfills document management and analysis tasks: Law firms handle large volumes of legal documents as part of their matters and cases, contracts, and court filings. Leveraging intuitive automation alongside other tools can help firms automate the document management process such as extracting and merging information, creating, and populating document templates, requesting internal or client review, managing versioning, and filing documents appropriately based on the context of the document. This accelerates the entire document management process for a more streamlined client and firm experience. • Provides client interaction and support: IA helps firms enhance client interactions and feel more informed and in control of their business. Some examples of how intuitive automation delivers include providing more prompt responses to inquiries, consistency with interactions and quality of work, automating matter and case updates at milestone moments, and asking for the right information at the right time so internal teams don't have to. • Scales and adapts: Intuitive automation solutions are designed to scale and adapt to the changing needs and ambitions of law firms. As a firm grows and evolves, intuitive automation can lighten increased workloads, changing processes, and new requirements. It can also adapt to new practice areas a firm may expand into, handle diverse case, and document types, as well as support evolving research needs so that a law firm's tech ecosystem remains agile and aligned with its goals and objectives. Incorporating intuitive automation can benefit law firms significantly when properly implemented into their technology ecosystem. Law firms can streamline their operations and workflows, improve accuracy, and be assured they are delivering high-quality legal services to their clients.
