Delivering Measurable Value
Logic-based Legal Procurement
Introduce workflow automation and machine logic to the way the entire organisation procures legal services to ensure consistent processes, excellent instructions, and compliance with internal procurement policies.
Instructions & Engagement
A streamlined process ensures the provision of appropriate instructions, conflict checks, scope of work and budget agreed upfront, plus a structure for managing alternative fee arrangements.
Managing Scope Changes
Create clear boundaries around what is in and out of scope, including identification of assumptions, control scope creep, track and manage change requests, and establish efficient approval processes prior to the completion of work.
Matter-Based RFPs
Utilise built-in Request for Proposal (RFP) workflows to leverage competitive tension and demonstrate value by briefing a selection of your panel firms for selected matters. Visual comparison tables, customised questions, and messaging capability makes it easy to use.
Customised Approvals
Get the control and maintain oversight of the legal function through custom approval workflows mapped to your unique business rules, departments and internal approval criteria, such as work allocation, law firm engagement, change of budget, invoice approvals and more.
Spend Management
Forget manual Excel spreadsheets and manage your legal spend by automatically tracking invoices, actual spend, forecasted spend, scope of work and work-in-progress, monitor budget creep, and track, manage and view change requests in the one central and secure location.
Law Firm Management
Build strategic relationships with data-driven insights that inform how the organisation is instructing law firms, how law firms are performing and adhering to billing guidelines, with a focus on transparency, accountability, and consistency.
Reporting & Analytics
Procurement and legal teams can gain insight into law firm relationships and performance with detailed quantitative and qualitative reports that are readily available, highly configurable and available on-demand.
Secure Transfer Of Data
With our secure interface between organisation and law firm, data is accurately and efficiently transferred between both parties. Our ISO 27001 certified information security management system supports access controls, single sign-on and more.
