}}Epoq Group is a legal IT company that provides document automation systems.[2] The company supplies legal document assembly technologies in the U.K and U.S.A which were developed to enable corporates and law firms to provide documents & contracts to customers online[3][4][5]

History

The company has been involved in activities surrounding the Legal Services Act 2007 and the opening up of the UK legal services market to competition from non-lawyer organisations.[6] In 2002 Epoq provided the technology platform for a legal service delivered to MORE TH>N’s policyholders; this marked the first entry of a large consumer facing insurance brand into the UK legal services market.[7] In 2006 Epoq’s technology was used by the Halifax to provide a subscription based web service for consumers thereby becoming the first major bank to enter the legal services market.[8][9][10] Other services have been developed for RBS Group, Saga and the AA.[11][12]

Epoq has also supplied document automation systems to the U.K legal profession.[13] In 2008 Epoq launched the UK's largest "virtual" law firm, MyLawyer.co.uk in partnership with firms from the UK's legal 500.[14][15] This was followed in 2009 with the launch of two SaaS services for law firms; DirectLaw providing a client-facing portal for self-serve document drafting[16][17] and Rapidocs LawDraft providing firms with in-house document automation.

On 9 February 2015 Epoq joined forces with Tikit, part of BT Group, to bring TIkit LawDraft to legal firms in the UK.[18]

Rapidocs

Rapidocs produces legal documents by presenting users with an interactive question and answer session which aims to mimic a face to face interview between a solicitor and a client. This data capture system is linked to an automated document that determines the right language and clauses to make up a final draft through the use of pre-programmed logic. The content for the system is developed through a legal team and maintained to track developments in the law.[19]
