All rights reserved.  \nL25rn55pp85  \nAlmost every law firm uses templates to simplify document creation and promote brand consistency. The larger the law firm, the larger and more diverse the template collection. Over time, a template collection can grow so large that it becomes difficult to manage.  \nWhile building out templates for your firm can help  \nstandardize the look and feel of your documents, providing access to them and maintaining version control can also prove challenging. Macros and other tools that law firm IT departments build into their templates can cause further challenges with maintenance and compatibility, especially when updating desktop applications and setting up new users.  \nToo commonly, these problems result in poor adoption of templates. End users in your firm recycle older documents, creating a whole set of additional risks if they forget to change key information such asa client name.  \nThis Learnpaper explains how your firm can succeed with templates by using a Template Management System.  \nLearnpaper® | THOUGHT LEADER  \nWhat Is a Template Management System?  \nA Template Management System is a document creation platform—ideally integrated with Microsoft Word—that enables law firms to standardize document creation processes, enforce best practices, and effectively implement firm branding guidelines.

Producing professional-looking documents helps your firm establish itself as a leading practice, enhancing its image and projecting value to prospective clients.  \nAccordingly, you should never allow any detail tobe governed by guesswork.
