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