Gavel, founded in 2016, launched in 2017, and rebranded in 2023 (previously known as Documate), is a no-code platform for building online legal products such as document automation and workflow solutions. Their goal is to streamline the process of creating complex legal documents, making the process faster, more accurate, and more efficient.
The Gavel platform allows legal professionals to create custom web-based interviews that can be filled out by clients or staff. The answers to these questions are then used to automatically populate the relevant legal documents. The software also supports conditional logic, which means it can handle complex scenarios where the content of the document depends on the answers to certain questions. Gavel includes features like a Document Library (pre-approved legal documents that can be used as templates), Document creation tools, a workflow management system, and reporting and analytics.
