McGuireWoods Chooses Draftwise to Enhance Deal Intelligence

Why Deal Intelligence Drives Impact

Draftwise analyzes millions of documents in seconds, but more importantly, it understands the legal concepts within those documents. The firm’s historical precedent becomes its competitive advantage.

McGuireWoods transactional lawyers can utilize Draftwise’s deal intelligence platform to access successfully negotiated language from comparable transactions, identify client-specific preferences in past transactions, apply firm-standard positions and playbooks, and discover market-tested alternatives with strategic context. Draftwise helps lawyers surface the right precedent at the right time, along with all of the necessary context—directly within Microsoft Word, where they are already working.

"This capability, along with our KM program, allows transactional lawyers to consistently apply our best institutional knowledge directly within their workflows," said Tom Trujillo, McGuireWoods Chief Innovation and AI Officer. “We look forward to integrating Draftwise as another tool in our digital transformation.”  

Draftwise CEO James Ding shared, "McGuireWoods has built tremendous transactional expertise over nearly two centuries. Our deal intelligence platform ensures that expertise is continuously accessible and searchable.” 

What's Next

We're witnessing a broader shift in how leading firms are thinking about institutional knowledge. Competitive firms must invest in AI tools that surface institutional knowledge, not just search documents or provide generalized insight. The question isn't "can AI draft this?" but "what have we learned from the last 200 times clients structured this type of transaction?"
