What is unusual in this contract?
Attach a contract, lease or agreement and ask. Nova summarises it and calls out the clauses worth a second look. The changes themselves are yours to make.

For commercial lawyers
Contracts in, markups back, and the time recorded.
Commercial work moves by email: drafts and markups, clients who want a quick answer, and short pieces of advice that are easy to forget to record. Nova reads the attachment, tells you what is unusual, drafts the reply and has the time entry ready.

Where it helps on a commercial file
Your standard positions first
Upload your standard clauses and precedents to the firm library. Nova answers from them first and names the document, so the answer is your firm's, not a generic one.
Quick answers, drafted
When a client asks a short question by email, Nova drafts the reply in your register and saves it to your drafts folder to check and send.
Inbox by urgency
A signing deadline or a client chasing a markup rises to the top. Newsletters and notices sink.
Time that gets recorded
On Smokeball, record time against the matter as you finish each email, and see what is already recorded on it.
No made-up authorities
Nova only gives a case name or section number that appears in a source in front of her. Anything else is removed and marked before you see it.
Your firm's way of doing things
Every commercial practice has its own standard positions on limitation of liability, payment terms and the rest. Put them in the firm library and Nova works from them, naming the document she relied on. Where the library does not cover something, she says so instead of filling the gap. Each library is encrypted with its own key and searchable only by the person who uploaded it.

Questions practitioners ask
Does it mark up the contract for me?
It reviews and summarises the document and calls out unusual clauses. The changes are yours to make.
Can it use our own precedents?
Yes. Upload them to the firm library and Nova answers from them first, naming the document.
Does it work without a practice management system?
Yes. Triage, drafting, document review and the firm library work with the mailbox alone. With Smokeball you can also file emails and record time against matters.
