Working inside Microsoft Word, its platform generates lawyer-quality drafts and redlines grounded in institutional knowledge rather than generic AI output. Founded in 2020 by former Palantir engineers and a practicing corporate lawyer, DraftWise serves top law firms and legal departments across North America, EMEA, and APAC.
