HotDocs software lets you produce accurate documents efficiently and share knowledge effectively for better practice management.

Save countless hours entering data
Instead of re-typing information such as a client’s name or a docket number over and over in the same document, simply enter it once. Dramatically reduce time spent in the “search and replace” function in your word processor and consistently re-use your firm’s knowledge and work product.

Minimise errors
HotDocs legal software can help you generate flawless, individualized documents and reduce costly proofreading cycles and liability caused by careless mistakes. Verb tenses, gender references, dates, numbers, calculations and other types of information all update automatically to reflect the information you enter. Simple interview questions with embedded guidance help users throughout your firm easily enter the information needed for error-free document generation.

Share effective documents or clauses across your practice
HotDocs legal document software enables you ensure consistent quality and get new staff up to speed quickly by standardising your work product and sharing your most effective documents and clauses throughout your practice. You can also create a library of key terms and phrases to share, and re-use effective language across a variety of documents and situations.

Work with the applications you already know
HotDocs can import directly from applications such as Microsoft^® Outlook^®, Microsoft^® Word and Corel^® WordPerfect^®, and can assemble documents such as Acrobat^® PDF files for electronic distribution. It can also be used with a variety of leading law-firm software programs, including Lexis^® Front Office powered by Time Matters^®, Lexis^® Back Office powered by PCLaw™, Amicus Attorney^®, ProLaw^® and more.
