Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Definely is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Definely addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Contract redlining is a nightmare — 7 rounds of Track Changes in Word, counterparty turns off tracking, and nobody knows what changed between v5 and v7
Transactional attorney reviews 5-10 contracts per week by reading every line in Word — no AI risk flagging, no clause benchmarking against market standards, no automated issue spotting. Missing a problematic indemnification clause or non-standard termination provision is a malpractice risk that scales with volume
Associate reviews a 60-page credit agreement against the firm's playbook — manually checking each clause against preferred positions takes 6-10 hours, and fatigue-induced errors in the final sections are almost guaranteed
Senior partner spends 3 hours line-editing a junior associate's 30-page brief — fixing passive voice, nominalizations, throat-clearing introductions, and inconsistent tone — because the firm has no systematic way to enforce writing standards before work reaches partner review, and every associate makes the same mistakes
Where it fits in your workflow
Before Definely
Lawyer opens contract in Microsoft Word → installs/activates Definely Word add-in → begins drafting or reviewing with AI-assisted tools.
After Definely
Draft reviewed and proofed → sent to counterparty for negotiation → final version executed → stored in DMS (iManage, NetDocuments, etc.)
Integrations & hand-offs
Associate → Definely Draft (drafting/review in Word). Definely Proof → automated proofreading. Reviewed contract → partner approval. Final contract → DMS/CLM system for execution and storage.
