One of the biggest motivation killers I had as a lawyer was preparing repeat documentation for good clients, like preparing loan docs for lenders and lease docs for property investors. I justified doing this mind numbing work because it was good ‘bread and butter’. As long as it pays the bills, right?

Whatever your bread and butter is, manually carrying it out in the year 2018 is….well….old school.

Most of them use your firm’s standard precedent lease documents. You no longer prepare these standard lease documents for your property investor clients, and instead let them serve themselves online.

Here’s how it works:
