Document Assembly: The Productivity Super-Charger for 2026 

Document assembly and automation is one of the few guaranteed productivity super-chargers firms can rely on heading into 2026. In this session, we unpack why modern firms are doubling down on automation as a practical, proven way to deliver more work without adding headcount. We’ll explain how Smarter Drafter Pro has been waging a sustained war on rekeying — eliminating duplicated data entry across systems and, in many cases, removing form-filling altogether. 

By assembling documents directly from trusted data already held in PMS, DMS, CRM and upstream systems, firms are seeing faster turnaround times, fewer errors, shorter review cycles and more consistent, on-brand output across the organisation. The session will walk through the three core automation models firms are using today: 

• Lawyer-Driven Automation: empowering lawyers to assemble complex documents and packs in minutes instead of hours, with accuracy and confidence.
• Client-Driven Automation: capturing information once, at the source, and using it to drive faster, cleaner document production.
• Data-Driven Automation: true zero-touch assembly where complete datasets already exist, allowing documents to be generated automatically for review rather than drafted from scratch.

Throughout the session, the focus remains on firm-level outcomes: reclaimed billable time, improved margins on fixed-fee work, reduced risk, stronger governance and teams spending more time on judgement and client value - not administration.
