Clause9 is a clause-based legal document automation platform that enables legal teams to assemble complex, deal-specific documents from a centralized library of intelligent, reusable clauses. The platform is designed for organizations that require a higher degree of automation and control than standard template-based tools provide.

Key Features & Functions:

Clause-Based Document Assembly
Documents are built by stacking modular clauses drawn from a centralized library. Clauses adapt their wording, grammar, and defined terms to the context of each document, reducing manual editing and ensuring consistency across matters.

Centralized Clause Library
Clauses are stored centrally with descriptions, usage guidance, alternative versions, and linked jurisprudence or internal notes. Updates to a clause automatically propagate across all templates that reference it.

Advanced Questionnaire Engine
Lawyers can build guided questionnaires that allow colleagues or clients to generate complex legal documents by responding to a structured set of questions. Documents update in real time as questions are answered. Questionnaires support conditional logic, branded self-service portals, and bulk export of multiple document versions.

Defined Terms and Definition List Management
The platform manages defined terms across a document, automatically compiling and sorting definition lists. Changes to terminology are applied consistently throughout the document with a single action.

Multilingual Drafting
Clause9 supports grammatical drafting across multiple languages, including automatic translations via DeepL integration. Documents can be exported in multilingual column format, with translated clauses aligned alongside their originals.

Version Control
Clause and template version histories are maintained, allowing teams to manage transitions between clause versions and supporting compliance in environments where legislative changes take effect at different times.

Document Protection and Export Controls
Export options include locking of styles, protection against unauthorized edits, and restriction of output formats. Documents can be exported as Word or PDF files.

Tracked Changes
The platform can generate tracked changes for any clause or template interaction, providing a record of modifications throughout the drafting process.
