Reduce Time Spent on Legal Drafting by 80% to Gain a Competitive Advantage

There isn’t enough time to deal with everything your firm needs to do. Here’s how Lawyaw Legal Drafting can help. Each year, the team at Lawyaw talks to thousands of legal professionals who are looking for solutions to the myriad challenges of practicing law in the 21st century. The most common theme from those conversations is that there isn’t enough time in the day to deal with everything that needs to be done. Many of those firms are hoping to use legal technology like document automation to modernize their operations — to adapt current processes to be more efficient so that their teams can do more with existing resources rather than trying to hire their way out of the problem. Even after the rise of remote work and virtual events as buzzwords in legal, it’s still a surprisingly small number of firms that have successfully adopted new technology to solve problems. According to the Future Ready Lawyers Survey released by Wolters Kluwer, only 32% of respondents said their firm was prepared to use technology to be more productive, while 88% are actively implementing new technology to try and catch up. Part of what’s driving the recent spike in adoption is the increasing evidence that modernizing firms are gaining a competitive advantage. The survey found that technology-leading firms were almost 3x more likely to have increased profitability during the past year compared to tech-trailing firms. Why Choose Document Automation? For most law firms, legal documents are the foundation of their practice. From filling and filing court forms on behalf of clients to creating custom legal documents spanning the relationship from the fee agreement to final invoice (and everything in between), drafting legal documents is an essential part of most firms’ daily activities regardless of practice area.

Illegal hawking in No vending areas affects citizens’ Right to Life- Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court, while taking a strict stance at the failure of NDMC and municipal authority, reprimanded the illegal hawking, squatting and vending activities in Connaught Place’s No hawking area on the ground that the same violated citizens’ right to clean and healthy environment. In the instant petition, the petitioner sought for directions to the respondent, New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), in furtherance of permanently stopping the illegal hawking. The bench expressed its displeasure over the uninterrupted practice of hawking in no vending areas and issued a “stern warning” to the officers of municipal corporation and Delhi Police to ensure strict compliance of the Supreme Court schemes and High Court orders. The bench further stated that when it comes to writing letters and maintaining their record, the NDMC authorities appear to be very efficient, however, in case of actually abiding by their obligations with respect to ground work, they’ve failed miserably. For the purpose of issuing directions, the bench relied on the photographs presented by the counsel on behalf of petitioner and the referred High Court precedents. The counsel showed photographs wherein scores of hawkers and vendors were found occupying the public spaces on pavements. The bench observed that the photographs showed lack of concern of Delhi Police officers towards the unauthorized encroachments and their incompetence in ensuring the compliance of their own schemes. Moreover, the bench highlighted that the salaries of employees are paid from time to time but they’ve failed miserably in discharging their duties. The bench added that the situation where garbage is collected and not removed, results in diseases like dengue, which the city of Delhi is currently facing.
