Over 500 firms and 10,000 users across Canada trust Korbitec software to create and exchange the latest court forms and letters
Dependable
Korbitec is a well-established company on whom you can depend for the long term. We deliver the right court forms at the right time, produced through leading document automation technology and workflow, drawn from years of experience in the litigation sector.
Accurate
The preparation of documents is one of the activities most likely to generate a legal malpractice claim. And most common errors begin with copying and pasting. ACL eliminates errors by merging case-specific details with firm-approved content stored in a central repository.

Faster Agreements, Fewer Errors
ACL Agreement Builder
Agreement Builder saves time and reduces errors by enabling a legal professional to populate an agreement, contract, will, letter or any other document template by selecting clauses from a library that they build and maintain.
✔ Simplified agreement creation
Even ordinary agreements can be difficult to create if you’re copying and adapting prior documents. With Agreement Builder, you produce new agreements by choosing from a library of clauses that you create, edit, and manage.
✔ No software expertise required
Modifying your library of clauses shouldn’t require a software programmer. Agreement Builder enables any legal professional to add, edit, and maintain content independently, without the need for software expertise.
✔ Increased efficiency
Creating a new agreement, contract, will, or letter should never require redrafting what you’ve already done. Agreement Builder accelerates the process through intuitive “drag and drop” of pre-vetted clauses.
✔ Consistency and control
Copying and pasting to create a new agreement introduces the risk of errors. Agreement Builder locks down your templates, so your content is never compromised, giving you the power of ACL’s document automation engine, with the flexibility to edit.
