You’ve automated your templates with Lawlift - now they need to land across your company. Since every rollout looks different, treat the tips below as a starting point.
The rollout in four steps:
- Identify your user groups
- Make Lawlift visible (newsletter, SharePoint)
- Build knowledge and skills (videos, help, academy)
- Tell people which templates are available
1. Prepare the rollout
A successful rollout starts with knowing your user groups. Be clear about where, how and by whom Lawlift will be used:
- Which target group do you want to reach, how large is it, and through which channels?
- Will users build templates themselves (authors) or only use automated ones?
- Do they have prior knowledge or technical affinity?
- What does document creation look like today - and are competing products in use?
2. Increase visibility
First, make sure everyone hears about the launch from a central place. What has proven its worth:
- Internal newsletter - sent regularly, covering “What is Lawlift?”, the benefits, success stories and (if you use them) publication links.
- Legal-tech page (e.g. in SharePoint) or a knowledge base that bundles everything: publications, the Lawlift Academy, the help page and an internal contact person.
- Visual onboarding - a short Lawlift trailer or explainer video for new and existing staff; alternatively a PowerPoint deck.
3. Build knowledge and skills
- Authors (create and manage templates): fastest through the Lawlift Academy plus videos and articles in the help - ideally by building simple templates themselves.
- Document creators (work with publication links or the “Read only” role): a short video or PowerPoint takes away the fear and answers the common questions - How do I open a publication? How do I fill in the questionnaire? How do I export a document? Make it clear this is now quick and doesn’t need the legal department.
- For everyone: appoint a contact person and hold regular meetings for questions and feedback. Keep a status overview of the templates (which exist, which are finished, which are in progress, who owns each). And switch off old solutions to encourage adoption.
Tip: Add a dedicated “Templates” tab directly in Word where staff can find the publication links.
4. Cheat sheet for publications
