Most firms know exactly which deals represent their best work. The problem has never been identifying them. It’s that turning them into a template means someone reading a hundred documents, tracking every variation, chasing four partners for a view, and holding the whole thing together for months.

So, it doesn’t happen. The knowledge stays in the deal files, and the next associate drafts from whatever they can find.

Curate changes the job. The reading and comparison happen in the platform. The lawyer stops being author, chaser and diplomat, and becomes managing editor – reviewing clause by clause, approving what represents the firm, rejecting what doesn’t.

That’s the shift this session is about, and the fastest way to judge it is to watch it happen.

Join Katya Hansom, Head of Product at Avvoka, for a live walkthrough of how Curate turns closed deals into one clean template, and a live Q&A.

What you’ll take away:

• See Curate read a set of closed agreements and lay the same clause side by side across every one of them, so the variation your firm has been drafting around becomes visible in a single view rather than buried across a hundred matter files.

• Learn how clause-by-clause approval works in practice – a lawyer accepts, rejects or amends each position before it enters the precedent, and why that holds even for firms that have never had a house standard written down anywhere.

• Watch a finished template come out of the process as a clean, formatted .docx that a drafting team can use the same week, with no rebuild or reformatting step in between.

• Understand where Curate sits: standalone, producing a template you can use anywhere, or feeding straight into Avvoka with Automate, so that approved precedent becomes a questionnaire-driven document pack.

• See what changes once precedent-building stops being a manual job – the reading and collation come off a lawyer’s desk, and their time goes to the judgement calls that actually need them.
