Drafting site selection addendums manually requires extensive research across multiple legal resources, careful coordination with main agreements, and meticulous attention to jurisdiction-specific requirements. Attorneys spend hours searching for standard clauses, verifying contingency language, and ensuring compliance with state bar guidelines—time that could be spent on higher-value client work.
Drafting comprehensive site selection addendums requires meticulous attention to detail, consistency with underlying agreements, and complex provisions covering criteria, timelines, and contingencies. Manual drafting typically takes 4-5 hours and risks inconsistencies with base contracts or missing critical provisions that protect client interests.
CaseMark automates the entire drafting process by analyzing your underlying agreement, extracting key terms and party information, and generating a complete, legally sound site selection addendum in minutes. The AI ensures consistency with your base contract while incorporating comprehensive selection criteria, conditions precedent, and protective provisions tailored to your transaction.

CaseMark primarily needs the underlying agreement (lease, purchase agreement, or franchise agreement) that the addendum will modify. The AI analyzes this document to extract party names, defined terms, and relevant provisions to ensure consistency.
