Silicon Legal Strategy adopted BoostDraft to streamline contract review and reduce attorney time spent on tedious formatting and proofreading tasks. With intuitive tools for cross-referencing, defined term management, and stylistic editing, BoostDraft delivered immediate efficiency gains. Silicon Legal attorneys report saving approximately 10% of their total contract review time.
Silicon Legal’s Director of Legal Operations, Anastasia Agapoff, highlighted seamless implementation, high user satisfaction, and standout support from the BoostDraft team as key reasons for adoption and ongoing use.
For Silicon Legal, contract review is a time-sensitive activity that is central to their clients' fast-moving businesses. Attorneys must simultaneously understand the substance of each agreement while they check and double-check section references, defined terms, and formatting.
These repetitive tasks didn’t just slow things down; they introduced inefficiencies that distracted from strategic legal review. Recognizing this friction, Anastasia saw an opportunity to streamline workflows.
The search was on for a contract review solution that was both powerful and easy to implement. The team looked for an integrated editor tool that could simultaneously check for spelling, grammar, section references, and defined terms in a user-friendly manner.
When one of the firm’s partners introduced BoostDraft, the team immediately saw the potential to lighten attorney workloads and improve consistency across documents.
Anastasia pointed to several reasons Silicon Legal Strategy adopted BoostDraft — and continues to use it on a daily basis:
Attorneys at Silicon Legal found BoostDraft easier to use, more reliable, and more helpful than competitor offerings.
For contract review, BoostDraft’s automated proofreading tools quickly flag inconsistent terms, incorrect section references, and formatting issues that would otherwise require manual identification and correction. The defined term pop-up feature stood out as a favorite, allowing attorneys to check references without breaking their workflow.
The team also found BoostDraft’s editing features exceeded their expectations. The smart formatting functionality reduces time dedicated to stylistic formatting.
Ease of use was critical. BoostDraft integrated seamlessly into Silicon Legal’s workflow, with attorneys able to pick it up and start using it almost immediately. The software’s intuitive interface and real-time assistance enabled adoption to grow organically, with users sharing tips and best practices across teams.
As a lightweight Microsoft Word plugin, BoostDraft required no infrastructure changes or complex configuration. The installation was straightforward, and the BoostDraft team provided training that helped users quickly get up to speed.
Silicon Legal also cited BoostDraft’s service model as a key differentiator. The BoostDraft team was highly responsive throughout onboarding and beyond, delivering a level of customer support that stood out from other vendors in the legal tech space.
Since implementing BoostDraft, attorneys at Silicon Legal report saving approximately 10% of their total contract review time — a valuable efficiency gain for a team that handles high volumes of complex agreements. BoostDraft’s combination of practical tools and ease of integration into daily workflows has contributed to lasting adoption and satisfaction at Silicon Legal Strategy.
