About HotDocs

The origins of HotDocs software date back to the late 1970s. Back then, a pioneering research project at Brigham Young University Law School used computers to create legal documents. This, the first known document assembly project, led to the development of a PC-based tool for creating "automated practice systems." In 1987, the project spawned the creation of Capsoft Development to continue the work and commercialize the technology. In 1993, Capsoft launched version 1 of HotDocs, which quickly became the company's flagship product.

Today, HotDocs is the recognized global leader in document automation and assembly technology, with over 1,000,000 users worldwide - including 80% of the Am Law 200, 20% of the Fortune 500, and enterprises and agencies of all sizes. It has also won virtually every industry award - including Law Office Computing Reader's Choice Award for Document Assembly and the TechnoLawyer Reader's Choice Award for Document Assembly and Automation.
