Gavel

Gavel turns legal know-how into automated document workflows, letting firms generate contracts and forms in minutes.

Overview

Gavel is a document automation platform built for lawyers and legal teams. Its no-code builder converts existing templates into smart questionnaires that assemble accurate documents automatically, while Gavel Exec brings AI drafting, review, and redlining directly into Microsoft Word. Firms use it to productize services, from intake to finished filing, and even sell subscription legal products built on Gavel workflows. Data stays structured, so every generated document feeds reporting and matter management.

The platform’s no-code builder is the heart of the product: lawyers map their document’s variables and conditional logic in a visual interface, then publish questionnaires colleagues or clients can complete. Because every answer becomes structured data, the same flow can generate documents, export data, and trigger downstream steps.

Key Features

• No-code document automation from existing Word templates
• Gavel Exec AI assistant for drafting and redlining in Word
• Client-facing intake questionnaires with conditional logic
• Bulk generation for high-volume document sets
• Reusable clause libraries and data fields
• Secure collaboration with granular permissions

Firms also use Gavel as a product engine: packaged legal services delivered through automated workflows open revenue beyond the billable hour. The structured data behind every generated document makes reporting, compliance checks, and downstream integrations straightforward.

Pricing

Who Is It For

Law firms, legal aid organizations, and in-house teams that produce the same document types repeatedly and want to eliminate manual assembly.
