Every day, legal professionals spend valuable time doing things that should already be done:
Copying and pasting client info into multiple documents
Reformatting trust letters or purchase agreements
Sending the same file back and forth for edits
It might feel routine, but it adds up — and fast.
The Real Cost of Manual Work
Let’s say your team handles 10 real estate closings a week. If you spend just 30 extra minutes per file on repetitive admin tasks, that’s:
5 hours a week
20+ hours a month
240+ hours a year
That’s over 6 full work weeks — lost to retyping and reformatting.
Now multiply that by your team size.
How Prolegis Automates the Admin
Prolegis replaces hours of admin with smart, automated tools that reduce the time legal teams need to spend on documents, like:
Responsive Templates
Edit once, update across all docs
Lender-Specific Output
Instantly generate lender-ready packages
Customized Document Sets
Sort, combine, and export everything within Prolegis
Built-in Logic
Matter fields adapt based on transaction type or client information. This information translates to document creation
Legal teams still need to do the work to make sure documents are correct, but Prolegis' automatic tools greatly cut down on the time that would have been spent otherwise. No more back-and-forth. Just faster, cleaner files - every time.
It’s Not Just About Saving Time - It’s About Protecting It
Manual work isn’t just inefficient — it creates risk:
Increased chance of error
Poor version control
Slower turnaround for clients and lenders
Automation ensures consistency, compliance, and control — and makes your firm more scalable.
