Revolutionizing Legal Document Review: Draftable Introduces Direct Email Redlining

It's nearly midnight. Instead of relaxing with a movie, you're wired on coffee and juggling between multiple windows on your laptop, struggling with the latest version of a 1,000-page contract due tomorrow. The chaos of redlines, erratic PDF formatting, and frequent software crashes only heighten the fear of overlooking a critical change that could jeopardize the entire deal.

Enter Draftable, the rapidly growing document comparison tool designed to banish these nightmares for legal professionals. "Every lawyer has lived that pain," states Caspar Roxburgh, product lead at Draftable. The tool aims to ensure they never have to endure it again by focusing solely on streamlining document comparison.

Draftable's latest feature, redlining directly in emails, has been met with enthusiasm across legal firms. "Firms are saying, 'I want everyone in my firm to have this. This is something I need,'" Roxburgh reveals. This feature, along with its affordability, has persuaded over 900 law firms worldwide, including top names like Allens and Mills & Reeve, to make the switch to Draftable.

Getting started with Draftable is straightforward. The interface, designed to mimic familiar software, shows clear differences between document versions with just a click. Lawyers have the flexibility to upload documents in over 25 ways, integrate with everyday tools like Word and Outlook, and choose from several review formats, including side-by-side comparisons and departure tables.

The "No Regrets Design" of the software means once the comparison runs, lawyers can efficiently review changes without backtracking. The innovative design allows flexibility and ensures that users can proceed through their workflow without interruptions.

The feature creating the most buzz is the ability to handle redlines directly in email, a game-changer in email negotiation processes. Draftable's integration with Outlook highlights differences directly in the email thread, allowing for immediate and clear visibility of changes. This functionality is unique to Draftable, powered by its sophisticated algorithm.

Furthermore, Draftable's departures table feature significantly reduces the time spent summarizing changes. It automatically extracts relevant changes into a structured format, which can be easily shared with colleagues or clients, enhancing efficiency and decision-making speed.

Looking ahead to later in 2025, Draftable plans to introduce performance upgrades, a revamped user interface, and extended language support, all while maintaining a price point less than half of its closest competitor. Roxburgh emphasizes, "We're doing something really boring—building good products, supporting them well, and charging a fair price. It's not rocket science, but lawyers love it."

For legal professionals tired of traditional, cumbersome document comparison methods, Draftable offers a sleek, efficient alternative that not only saves time but also provides peace of mind.
