Clause Library & Auto-Suggestions: Say Goodbye to Copy-Paste Contracting – Use Legitt Draft

What is a Clause Library in Legitt Draft?

Introduction

Contracts are the foundation of every business relationship. Whether it’s hiring a vendor, onboarding a client, or entering a partnership, contracts govern rights, responsibilities, and protections. Yet, most organizations still rely on outdated workflows – opening past contracts, copying clauses, tweaking language manually, and hoping nothing important was missed. This not only wastes time but also opens the door to legal and operational risk.

Legitt Draft changes the game. With a built-in Clause Library and intelligent Auto-Suggestions, it eliminates the need for copy-pasting and manual editing. Contracts become smarter, faster, and fully aligned with your organization’s legal standards – all within Microsoft Word.

The Problem with Traditional Contracting

1. Copy-Paste Chaos

Most professionals don’t start drafting contracts from scratch. They copy from old templates, past agreements, or “that one contract that legal approved last year.” This creates inconsistency, makes contracts hard to audit, and increases the chance of outdated or risky clauses sneaking in.

2. Clause Confusion

Companies often have preferred language for specific terms – like confidentiality, termination, or payment terms – but these aren’t always centralized or easily accessible. Employees resort to guesswork, reinventing clauses instead of reusing approved versions.

3. Legal Bottlenecks

Legal teams spend hours reviewing contracts just to ensure the right clauses are used. This slows down deals, frustrates stakeholders, and clogs up the legal pipeline with repetitive tasks.

What Is a Clause Library?

A Clause Library is a centralized repository of pre-approved, standardized clauses that reflect your organization’s legal and business standards. Think of it as your contract playbook — containing everything from boilerplate legal terms to custom clauses for different departments or regions.

Legitt Draft’s clause library is dynamic, searchable, and fully customizable. It gives every team member instant access to legally vetted language – reducing risk and improving contract consistency.

Key Features:

  • Pre-loaded with common legal clauses across contract types
  • Support for custom organization-specific clauses
  • Tagging, categorization, and role-based access
  • Clause versioning and audit history

Smart Auto-Suggestions: The AI Edge

What makes Legitt Draft powerful is its ability to suggest the right clause at the right time. As you draft a contract, the AI analyzes your content and context, then recommends clauses from your library or drafts new ones using legal best practices.

You’re not just dragging and dropping – you’re working with a smart assistant that understands what you’re writing and helps you improve it.

Auto-Suggestion Use Cases:

  • Replace risky or outdated clauses with safer alternatives
  • Suggest jurisdiction-specific wording

Start with what you have – upload commonly used clauses from past contracts or templates. Legitt Draft supports bulk upload and formatting auto-detection.

Step 2: Organize by Category & Tags

Group clauses by topic (e.g., confidentiality, IP, termination) or contract type. Add tags like “high-risk,” “finance,” or “jurisdiction-specific” to make searching easier.

Step 3: Add Variations

Include multiple versions of the same clause to handle different contexts. For example, a standard vs. extended warranty clause.
