Consulting - About Us

In 1996, our founder left the formal practice of law to set up a technology consulting practice to use software to redesign the legal document drafting process. We specialize in the creation of expert drafting systems using HotDocs®, Exari®, GhostFill ®, DealBuilder®, & AmicusAssembly®. We also build case management solutions and feature packages for TimeMatters® and Amicus Attorney®. Our clients include leading law firms, insurance companies, government procurement departments and large public companies for whom we have advised on and built expert drafting systems. Our founder regularly speaks and writes on technology issues and is a nationally recognized industry expert on document assembly.

He is a resource that we use to build custom extensions to Time Matters and to troubleshoot databases that have become unstable.
