Gavel's No-Setup Automated Legal Forms

Gavel is mad libs for lawyers. Gavel’s No-Setup Automated Legal Forms allow you to start assembling your documents in Gavel today. All you have to do is click “Run” and start filling in the blanks!

How do I access the forms for my practice?

Our Pro and Scale customers can request the forms they need for their practice from our Pre-Built Workflows Library. The workflows will be added to your account and you can start using them that day.

How do these forms work?

In Gavel lingo, each of these is a “workflow,” which includes a Questionnaire and Document Templates. They are designed so that, depending on how questions are answered, documents, clauses, and the content will adjust accordingly.

Each workflow has documents attached. If they are fillable PDFs, the fillable fields are matched to the variables. If they are Word documents, the variables are placed, like mad libs in the relevant spots in the document. Tags are inserted, like pieces of bread, around clauses that you want to appear conditionally.

But all that is just details if you don't plan on doing any building and just want to use these ready-made workflows.

What if I want to edit one of these?

You can! Learn more at Editing Pre-Built Workflows.
