Cut drafting time by 90%

Easy intake and document automation to auto-populate your templates.

Lawvex, LLP — a Central California systems-driven trust and estates law firm has been an early adopter of innovative legal technology offerings since 2009. Lawvex recently utilized Gavel's document automation tools to create their own do-it-yourself Personal Property Memorandum in an effort to perform at the highest level of productivity during a time of social distancing and avoiding unnecessary interactions. The Personal Property Memorandum is the first in a series of Lawvex automated estate planning tools to be released as part of their "DIY Estate Planning Toolbox".

Lawvex founder and Managing Attorney, Gary Winter, has been pleased with the feedback from the clients and members of the community who have visited the site, watched the tutorial videos and created their own Personal Property Memorandum without attorney involvement. Winter is optimistic about the scope of what Lawvex will do with Gavel, stating:

"Our vision is to pair education with tech, for example, tutorial videos with online self-help resources for our clients and the community to become better educated to create solutions themselves unless complexity factors require more. This is a uniquely distinguishing feature of law firms that deploy their own tech solutions versus pure online form stores. We can automate the simple, but when matters escalate due to complexity, we are also able to teach our users how to recognize that complexity and offer an upsell to traditional legal services. This way, we drive value so that lawyers stay out of simple matters and do what they do best, that is – complex and expensive work that is hard to automate."

In addition to utilizing Gavel, Lawvex leverages a cutting-edge technology stack to deliver the best possible results for its attorneys, staff and clients. Gavel's founder, Dorna Moini, is pleased that Lawvex was able to create such a valuable resource, stating, "We're excited at what our users are able to develop with the platform. It's rewarding to see them get creative to develop precise, specialized solutions to help them put out the best possible product."

Pushing the limits of innovation and modernizing internal workflows has helped Lawvex deliver a speedy and unique experience for customers, and Gavel's platform was essential to Lawvex's ability to develop its own legal tools with minimal coding knowledge. Winter stated, "This is only the beginning. We have been waiting for a solution that would allow Lawvex to internally begin pushing out our own automation products without hiring third-party developers that bog down the process, and Gavel does that."

Gavel is a code-free document automation and expert system builder that transforms documents into client-facing workflows and apps. Using Gavel's DIY workflow builder, lawyers can quickly and easily have all necessary documents generated automatically. Clients can simply visit a lawyer's website and answer a series of logic-based questions, and the workflow builder will have all relevant documents prepared, set up, and ready to go.

Gavel fills the need for more streamlined workflow processes in law firms and other businesses. The modern and intuitive platform increases productivity, saving users approximately 80% to 90% of the time it typically takes to generate and revise documents manually.
