## About
Smarter Drafter has automated a large range of sophisticated legal documents across a broadening range of practice areas. Our platform is in use by more than 1,500 lawyers across Australia. We aim to automate bespoke, high-value legal services that most people currently think are too complex to be automated. Our key points of difference are the quality of our documents and the extent of our automation – with Smarter Drafter, your first draft can be your last draft.
