Microsoft Word templates and document automation for UK law firms

 Microsoft Word & document automation specialists for UK law firms

We design, fix and maintain Word templates, numbering systems and document automation for law firms who are tired of broken formatting and inconsistent documents

We help when


numbering breaks for no obvious reason

templates slowly drift out of brand

formatting gets pasted in from old documents and everything starts to unravel

the precedent bank feels more chaotic than controlled

automation works… until it suddenly doesn’t

IT spend their time firefighting Word instead of improving the system

That’s usually when firms call IOSL.
