Streamline your commercial law practice with Gavel’s no-code automation platform. Create accurate service agreements, contracts, and intake workflows while saving time, reducing errors, and increasing profitability.
Easy intake and document automation to auto-populate your templates.
Your commercial law office may face several challenges. Not only do you need to keep up with regulatory and compliance changes, potentially across multiple industries, but you’ll also have to understand multijurisdictional and international laws affecting transactions and contracts. Your clients could range from small startups to multinational corporations. You need strong people skills to deliver the best client experience and client communications so you can convey complex legal concepts to clients with varied backgrounds. Not to mention accurately and efficiently handling large volumes of contracts, agreements, and compliance documents.
The amount of documentation required in commercial law can be overwhelming. Sales contracts, purchase orders, franchise agreements, and NDAs are just some of the paperwork your legal practice can expect to deal with in this field. That's what makes commercial law ideal for smart automation.
Automation tools like Gavel streamline document creation. Our legal workflow automation can optimize your practice using automated processes to replace time-consuming, repetitive tasks like data entry. Gavel is shaking up the legal industry with automation software that frees you from routine tasks like document drafting so that you can spend more time improving the client experience and boosting your profitability by attracting new clients.
Gavel lets you create workflows that either an attorney or a client can use to provide the information you need. These questionnaires can be customized with explanations and even embedded videos to ensure your client understands the required information. With an underlying template tagged with the fields you’ve included in the workflow, you can automatically complete a document with the information you gather from your questionnaire.
So, for example, if you're drawing up a sales contract, you can have our law firm automation tool take client-provided information like names, addresses, business license numbers, and so on, and add them into multiple templates for various documents. Once the information is gathered, a simple button press generates the documents you need, and you can use the same streamlined system for every new client you bring in, simplifying the intake process and reducing your workload by handling administrative tasks with Gavel.
Automation is about more than just speed. Automation software like Gavel not only reduces your workload, but it also ensures accuracy by removing human error and manual processes from your intake forms. Collect the data you need just once and then use it across multiple forms, including service agreements, contractor agreements, franchise agreements, licensing agreements, vendor contracts, nondisclosure agreements, and sales and distribution agreements.
Getting the details wrong can be disastrous for your clients. Using Gavel’s automation system means you can spend more billable hours explaining the nuances of the law to your clients and less time drafting documents and inputting information.
Gavel automates your intake process. Collect information quickly and accurately with our workflows and logic-based questionnaires, which can be customized to ask your client all the information you need, and transfer that information to a completed legal work product. The questionnaire can be set up with explanations and embedded videos to guide your client through the process, and the conditional logic means the client will only be asked questions relevant to their situation. Enter necessary data just once, and you can use it across multiple forms and documents in your practice area.
Speed up drafting with custom templates. Creating documents like vendor agreements, service contracts, or license applications usually means starting from scratch or manually copying over client data into each form. With Gavel, you can build custom templates that automatically pull in information collected during the intake process—no more chasing down missing details or reformatting documents. Gavel’s Blueprint AI even scans your existing forms and suggests smart intake questions, so you capture everything you need the first time. You can turn your existing documents into automated workflows, integrate with your CRM or document management system, and even generate multiple documents in PDF and Word format at once. The Microsoft Word Add-in lets you insert simple variables, conditional paragraphs, and numerical calculations into your templates. That means you’re not just drafting faster—you’re avoiding omissions, cutting hours off your workflow, and delivering complete, professional documents in a fraction of the time.
Improve client understanding and satisfaction. Gavel helps clients take ownership of their cases. Explanations and information bubbles within the workflow can help clients understand why they need to provide the information they do, demystifying the legal process. You could also use Gavel to automatically produce informational output documents to help clients understand what you are doing for them, helping them feel involved.
Increase profitability by productizing legal services. Imagine selling clients a customized sales agreement or vendor contract online. Gavel lets you build DIY legal tools complete with your branding so that potential clients can get the documents they need, and you can attract new business while spending more time on billable work with your existing clients.

Gavel has helped hundreds of law firms transform their practice, freeing them from repetitive manual tasks and helping them scale by reaching out to new clients.
One study showed that Gavel has helped legal firms save 90% of the time they spent generating legal documents. Lawyers should be focused on more important tasks like client outreach, legal research, and court appearances, not repetitive data entry.
For example, Litson PLLC was able to reduce the time spent on creating engagement letters for new clients from half a day to a few minutes. ”If there's something we can automate in Gavel, we shouldn’t use lawyer brain power; we should save that for the hard questions,” says Alex Little, managing partner of the firm. Little estimates that using Gavel has saved his firm the equivalent of 1-1.5 full-time employees.
