Smarter Drafter by Tensis enhances offering with new global document automation partnership
Helping law firms reclaim time, improve accuracy, and reduce risk
In an exciting step forward for legal technology, Morae, the global leader in digital and business solutions for the legal industry, has announced a global partnership with Tensis, the creators of Smarter Drafter Pro, a cutting-edge document automation platform.
This collaboration strengthens Morae’s commitment to delivering best-in-class technology, supported by legal experts who understand the day-to-day realities of modern law firms. Together, Morae and Tensis are helping legal professionals work faster, smarter, and with greater accuracy.
Why Document Automation Matters
For today’s law firms, document automation is no longer a “nice-to-have”, it’s essential. Lawyers spend countless hours on repetitive drafting, often working across disconnected systems that create room for human error and inconsistency.
Morae identified the need for a modern, scalable SaaS solution that could deeply integrate with iManage Work 10, serve both high-volume and high-complexity matters, and drive adoption across all practice areas.
Enter Smarter Drafter Pro, a platform already successfully deployed by Morae’s APAC team, which delivers seamless automation and ensures firms can:
- Reclaim valuable lawyer time
- Improve accuracy and quality
- Reduce operational and compliance risks
Smarter Drafter Pro: A New Benchmark for Efficiency
Recent innovations in Smarter Drafter Pro have taken automation to the next level. Through data-driven automation using API and Microsoft Power Automate, documents can now be assembled directly from structured data, no manual form-filling required.
This marks a new era in document creation efficiency. And when paired with Morae’s global team of legal experts, clients benefit from:
- Fast onboarding and tailored implementations
- Workflow-aligned training
- Ongoing support from legal professionals who know the technology and the law
Case Study: Dentons Pioneers “Document Automation-as-a-Service”
A standout example of this partnership in action is Dentons, the world’s largest law firm. Working with Morae and Tensis, Dentons has introduced what it calls Document Automation-as-a-Service.
By embedding Smarter Drafter Pro directly into its iManage ecosystem, Dentons has cut drafting processes from 30 minutes to just 30 seconds, an 80% time saving that’s transformed productivity across the firm.
The results speak for themselves:
- Increased capacity without extra headcount
- Consistent, compliant documents across jurisdictions
- Faster onboarding for lawyers and practice groups
- Greater returns on investments in iManage and precedent content
To support this transformation, Morae has also launched a Smarter Drafter Centre of Excellence in India, providing Dentons with scalable implementation support and creating capacity for future global clients.
