Avvoka has launched Massdraft, a new capability for mass document drafting and e-signing, featuring what the company said is ‘the most advanced Docusign integration on the market’.
The UK-based company is now able to offer large-scale automation in a single seamless platform, which includes:
- ‘Auto-templating: upload templates and let SmartAutomation recognise square-bracketed fields, conditions and e-signature tags – creating the automated templates in seconds.
- Deal-data: upload deal data from Excel (in any format) to populate the documents and gather any missing information through shareable live forms. The GenAI review tool flags any inconsistencies to ensure data accuracy.
- Massdraft in seconds: with the data ready, 10s,100s or 1000s of documents are generated in seconds and last-minute changes to the template are mirrored instantly in track across all documents.
- Advanced Docusign integration: with one click, send documents for signature via Massdraft’s powerful integration with Docusign. Automatically group documents into envelopes or split for signing in counterparts, always ensuring each signatory receives only the documents relevant to them. Clients can track the signature status in real time through a secure and shareable Massdraft dashboard.
- Post-dating and compiling: automatically compile the Docusign signature pages and post-date all documents in a single click. Export the compiled documents to your DMS or in PDF, saving you hours of time at the end of transactions.’
Is this a big deal? Avvoka argues that yes, it’s an essential area for improvement in the legal sector given that both law firms and inhouse teams often have to handle large volumes of related documents – tasks that soak up huge amounts of manual legal labour.
Or as the company puts it: ‘Law firms and in-house legal teams often struggle with the time-consuming process of producing, managing, and signing hundreds of documents – ranging from share option schemes to corporate authorities and leases – within very tight deadlines. Traditionally, these processes have relied on manual methods or outdated tools like mail merge which were never designed for the complexity of modern legal work and skip the execution phase entirely.’
And anything that breaks down inefficiency in legal workflows is a win, this site would add.
Eliot Benzecrit, Co-Founder of Avvoka, said: ‘Mail merges are clunky and limited. They can generate documents but struggle with complex templates. Plus, they totally skip the Docusign piece, which can be very, very manual. Massdraft is a totally different offering: it’s the first integrated platform that handles everything – from document generation to advanced e-signature and compiling – within an easy-to-use interface, powered by Avvoka’s automation suite.’
While David Howorth, also a Co-Founder of Avvoka, concluded: ‘Massdraft was inspired by one of Avvoka’s most successful use cases: mass document generation. After getting feedback from our clients who have generating hundreds of thousands of documents on Avvoka, we created a purpose-built app that we believe is genuinely unique, cutting transaction times by up to 90-95%.’
So, there you go. If we’re really going to defeat legal inefficiency then mass document projects are clearly a key target area.
