The Problem

Legal work doesn't fit in Jira or Asana — matters have unique workflows, deadlines, and billing requirements. 45% of law firms say they lack visibility into workload distribution. Missed deadlines result in malpractice claims. Partners can't see real-time matter status without asking associates.

The Solution

Legal-specific project management platform that organizes work by matters, tracks critical deadlines with rules-based calendaring, manages task assignment across the firm, and provides real-time status dashboards for partners and clients.

Target Audience

Law firms with 5–50 attorneys managing 100+ active matters who need workload visibility, and in-house legal teams tracking matters across multiple business units

Key Features

1
Matter-centric project views with custom workflows per practice area
2
Court rules-based deadline calculation for jurisdiction-specific requirements
3
Workload dashboard showing attorney utilization and capacity across the firm
4
Client-facing portal for matter status updates without email back-and-forth
5
Budget tracking per matter with alerts when approaching fee estimates
6
Document management integration connecting matter files to tasks and deadlines
