Draftable Legal is a document comparison solution built for law firms and legal teams. It compares documents in a secure desktop application, and highlights (redlines) all differences and changes between documents for faster and more efficient reviews.
Draftable has provided general-purpose document comparison solutions for over 12 years, with more than 750 customers worldwide. We started building a specific comparison solution for legal teams in 2021, in response to demand from the legal industry, fueled by consolidation in the market. We launched Draftable Legal in 2023, and more than 800 law firms and legal teams have now made the switch. Read more about our customers and case studies.
