Spellbook, the St. John’s legal software-maker that earlier this year raised US$20 million, has announced it has integrated content from Thomson Reuters Practical Law to allow clients to leverage the capabilities of both platforms.

Users now have access to thousands of Practical Law’s attorney-editor created standard documents and clauses directly within Spellbook’s AI-powered contract drafting platform, the company said in a press release.

Spellbook said its mission is to reignite lawyers’ passion for practicing law by alleviating the drudgery from contract drafting and reviews. With the new arrangement, lawyers will be able to draft with unprecedented speed and accuracy, Spellbook said.

In its blog, Spellbook said contract drafting is a juggling act.

“Lawyers bounce between contract databases, old precedents, and Microsoft Word while tediously copying, pasting, and manually drafting. Not only does this fragmented process take up time: it's also a recipe for errors."

Said Spellbook co-founder and CEO Scott Stevenson: “Since Thomson Reuters Ventures invested in us in 2023, we’ve been bullish about the potential of combining our AI drafting tool with the most trusted commercial legal collection of drafting resources in the world.” 

Spellbook claims to be the leading provider of legal AI for transactional law, and says it has helped more than 2,500 legal teams improve their contract workflows and eliminate legal drudgery.
