Gavel

What is Gavel?

Gavel is a cloud-based legal automation platform designed to transform how law firms operate. The platform empowers legal professionals to convert their standard Word and PDF templates into dynamic, intelligent workflows without requiring coding expertise. With its Blueprint feature, Gavel analyzes existing legal documents and suggests custom questions to build automated workflows that populate templates with client data. Beyond document automation, Gavel offers Gavel Exec, an AI assistant integrated directly into Microsoft Word that helps transactional attorneys draft, redline, and analyze contracts with legal-specific intelligence. The platform supports complete practice automation from client intake through document generation, enabling firms to reduce drafting time by up to 90% while maintaining accuracy and consistency.
