• Ensuring all precedents are kept current and up-to-date as legislation changes alleviating firms of the obligation to spend time maintaining their libraries.
• Providing a comprehensive library covering all matters in common areas of law.

• Including matter management tools such as Retainer Instructions and To Do Lists that have been refined to ensure matters always run smoothly.
• The By Lawyers support network allows practitioners to provide feedback on the precedents and encourages open communication channels with By Lawyers.
• BEST OF ALL – used in conjunction with LEAP, By Lawyers precedents auto-populate saving you a lot of time!

Due to these clever features law firms that use By Lawyers precedents increase their productivity and can be confident knowing they have all the tools they need to conduct business efficiently.

By Lawyers employs a staff of lawyers to monitor legislative changes on a daily basis. Working with the By Lawyers network of authors to draft any required amendments all precedents are kept up to date all the time.

Through all the clever innovations in By Lawyers products this is one of the biggest time savers making precedent creation so much easier. Automation means that when used in conjunction with LEAP precedents automatically populate all the details of the client and matter directly into the document.  All that needs to be done is to enter the necessary information into the LEAP matter. Once the information is entered into a table it becomes available to use again and again in any type of matter!

Every matter in LEAP has standard tables for that type of matter – so for wills there are tables for the client, executor, beneficiary, alternate executor, and guardian. There is also the option to add some extra table types not normally associated with that matter type, such as a valuer table or an accountant table.  By fully completing the table types for each matter there is quick and easy reference to that information, as well as the resulting automation of the By Lawyers precedents saving users valuable time.

To take advantage of the LEAP automation functions within the By Lawyers precedents be sure the data table types in every LEAP matter are completed correctly. When the correct information is entered into the matter precedent automation ensures there is no room for error when including those details in precedents. Dates, figures, names and addresses will never be wrong.

By Lawyers precedents are not all just letters and agreements. They also include clever matter management tools such as retainer instruction sheets. The retainer instructions in particular are genius in their simplicity, clearly laying out every piece of information needed and every question that should be asked of a client during their initial consultation.

This helps conduct a matter in a professional and efficient way, ensuring everything is covered and there is no need to follow up loose ends that were not covered initially. 

With the full suite of By Lawyers precedents at your disposal practitioners can be confident that the daily operations of their business are being executed with absolute precision and efficiency. No time wasted means no time lost!
