The Family Law Education Network of Australia (FLENA) has been revealed as the inaugural content partner for Smarter Drafter, ensuring that family law firms, regardless of their size, can quickly access top-tier family law documents with ease.
Tensis chief executive Steve Hantos said that moving forward, Smarter Drafter will aim to service all levels of the legal industry.
“The technology that underpins Smarter Drafter is built to scale. We are democratising the benefits of legal precedent automation to every firm, no matter their size or focus. The addition of the ‘Build Your Own’ capability and now the launch of our content partner program, Smarter Drafter is now a solution that is appropriate for any firm,” he said.
“Our existing ‘Essentials’ precedent bank within Smarter Drafter is ideal for a firm covering many practice areas. We consistently hear customer feedback on the quality of our precedents and how the breadth of scope allows firms to practise across multiple areas. With the launch of our content partner program, we can go further, offering highly specialised precedents, checklists and matter plans to firms that focus on a specific area of law.”
Established in 2022 by founder Amanda Little, the FLENA brand is used by leading family law firms across Australia. Following the “best practice” principles of family law, the FLENA precedents are continually updated to ensure compliance with Federal Court and Family Court of Australia (Family Law) Rules 2021 and Central Practice Directions, including the Ancillary Central Practice Directions.
“Firms using our precedents have a proven track record of improving their billing by at least 10 units per day, per practitioner, through the access to our extensive range of precedents and checklists,” Little said.
“The delivery of FLENA precedents via the Smarter Drafter platform gives firms yet another competitive edge. The FLENA precedents are integrated immediately, enabling client data to be pre-populated, with all the major practice management providers, including Smokeball, LEAP, Clio, and Actionstep. The ability to then leverage Smarter Drafter’s digital signatures and direct saving to a firm’s practice or document management system saves even more time and adds predictability into the time it takes to complete each stage of the client matter.
“The partnership between FLENA and Smarter Drafter ensures that family law firms, regardless of their size, can quickly access top-tier family law documents with ease. This collaboration combines technology and expertise, streamlining processes to improve efficiency, increase billable hours, and enhance profitability. It’s a practical and powerful alliance that leverages the best of both worlds to offer innovative solutions for law firms looking to optimise their operations and drive growth.”
Hantos said the launch of the FLENA precedents via Smarter Drafter will be the first of many content partners.
“Our goal is to become the automation solution of choice for all firms on a global basis. If firms require specialist content, we will be there to automate it,” he said.
“Over the coming months, we will be announcing the addition of further content partners with specialisations, covering areas such as conveyancing and commercial law, both here and internationally. This is all part of our strategy to provide innovative automation to all levels of the legal profession.”
