Why Lawyers Will Soon No Longer Write Submissions
What is already possible today: Automation with Lawrence
Modern legal tech solutions like Lawrence have already radically simplified this process: Submissions can be centrally managed, automatically pre-filled, and processed in a structured manner. Communication runs through a platform, mandates are continuously maintained and updated. Partners receive automatically generated suggestions and can approve with a click what is actually to be submitted.
Lawrence thinks of submissions as a process – not as a deadline
Automation reduces effort at all levels – and creates true content reusability for the first time. This turns an isolated task into a sustainable, data-driven workflow.
What the future brings: AI as the next logical step
Thanks to AI, marketing no longer has to wait for input from the partnership. Mandate descriptions are automatically created, structured, and fed directly into the database – based on existing data from law firm systems. Marketing can prepare submissions independently – complete, consistent, and always available. Partners? They only give final approval.
Submissions on demand – instead of last-minute marathon
With AI, submission becomes an ongoing process. With an already well-maintained and comprehensive data set, complete submissions tailored to each directory can be generated at the push of a button.
A central marketing data hub for everything
Law firms that rely on solutions like Lawrence create more than just a submission tool – they build a content hub. Pitches, award submissions, CVs, reference lists, or BD reports can be generated from a well-structured database.
Maintain once, use multiple times. This transforms individual submissions into building blocks of a holistic workflow – powered by automation and intelligent data structure.
Conclusion: Rethinking submissions
Lawrence has already enabled a huge step forward: Automation replaces manual work, creates structure, saves time, and finally makes submissions plannable and efficient.
But the potential doesn't end here. With AI, this progress is not only continued but exponentially amplified.
Software solutions that already provide significant relief today will function almost autonomously tomorrow: Submissions will no longer be a lawyer's job – but rather smart collaboration between intelligent systems – like Lawrence – and marketing professionals.
