Technology

Exari's use of structured XML templates, and validating XML authoring tools, makes it possible to automate complex contracts and legal documents. The Exari engine powers self-service legal websites such as the SmartDocs service of the Australian Corporate Lawyers Association. It is also used by legal departments to automate contract drafting for large global companies and government agencies, originally in Australia and more recently in the United States and Europe.
