It's no secret that much of the legal industry is build on reusable content. Most law firms have their own customized set of standard documents (like NDAs or Wills), but lawyers or associates still have to customize these documents by hand each time a client needs them drafted. Lawyaw, part of YC's Winter '18 class, is building software to automate this process by letting lawyers turn previously completed documents into smart templates. Here's how it works: Lawyers can drag an already customized world document into Lawyaw's platform and it will automatically use natural language processing to first figure out what sections need to be replaced, then actually fill in those sections with the correct personalized phrases and variables. For example, software will automatically detect and replace a client's name, contact information, location, and even more complicated things like scope of engagement. If a variable isn't automatically detected Lawyaw lets users manually select it, which the software will remember for future uses.
